Yeah, I keep hearing about people being afraid of clowns but I just don’t see it. I mean, I’m not afraid of house caterpillars, but I see what people would see in them. Clowns … I just don’t get it.
So funny, Beth! You can’t get away from them!!! I do think they are losing popularity because people are finally realizing they actually are creepy and weird – and terrify children…and sometimes adults! lol
Maybe it’s a side effect of one of the new hundreds of prescription meds that came out in the past year. “Talk to your doctor about the side effects, including Coulrophilia, attraction to clowns…”
Ooh, so spooky. My youngest daughter used to cry at Chuck E. Cheese, at the big mouse! Clowns are just not funny. When in a Christmas sleigh decoration especially weird!
I often think that over the years, clowns have probably terrified more people than they have amused …
Strangely, as I kid, we used to go to the Ringling Brother’s Circus every year when I was growing up, and the clowns never bothered me. I was probably in my early 20s when I started noticing the creepier aspects of them … I wouldn’t say that I’m terrified of them, but they’re definitely on my Creepy list.
Brrrr! Clowns scare me.
