Are you scared of clowns?

MacNN Hardware 42 posts Apr 28, 2003 to Apr 11, 2004
I sorta am. I was driving today and saw a clown waiting at an interesection. It (he/she?) looked at me and then smiled. I didn't like the smile, it was weird.

Never saw the movie, just the picture of that clown. Scary indeed.
LOL. My girlfriend is a clown. Its a lot of fun when we drive to one of her gigs and we pull up at the lights, the looks she gets

I, I just can't look at her in the same way when she has this huge painted smile on her face though! It just shatters all my childhood memories thinking that clowns actually have boyfriends/girlfriends!

EDIT: ticked the 'i am a clown' option in the poll since Kate isn't on here

That reminds me of Uncle Buck, where he punches out that clown because he was drunk showing up to Miles' birthday party. Popped his nose. That IT clown is freaky.

C'mon people. IT IS A JOB!
We are talking about clowns here like if they were a dangerous species.
They are common people with a not so common job.
Personally, I don't like clowns. I find them boring.

You know who I'm afraid of? Used car dealers.
When I was 4, my mum painted a couple of pictures of clowns for my room and I was deathly afraid of them. On the other hand, we also had two wood block prints of Samurai in full war gear and they were reassuring.

I'm not sure if asking about this is a good idea or not.

yeah I was in about grade 8, The S.S Georgie, that scene was scary, yet slightly comical.
I think "IT" ruined clowns for a lot of us.
They're all creepy now.

I always thought that the whole, "I have a phobia of clowns" was just an overused pitch or running gag on TV or in movies. Then I saw a documentary preview based around that fear. They bring in a clown, and these people are literally freakin out! Pushing themselves back in their chairs, digging their fingers into the arm cushions. Then I missed it.. cuz I don't have cable.. It seemed really interesting.

For you, there should be the option: I am a clown-****er.
