[Phillycat]

5. Does he still post?

Haven't seen him in ages.

[jpgray]

I printed out the thread, it's at the frame shop.

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. Yep.

I read that book alone in a dark house one night when I was about 17. Running to the bathroom and back, I thought I was going to have a coronary, my adrenaline was pumping so hard.

But I was actually scared of clowns before It. I had a clown porcelean doll when I was a kid, that was given to me by a relative so I couldn't get rid of it. Now, I find porcelean dolls scary as is, and then it was a CLOWN...god. Were my parents trying to scar me for LIFE??

[evlbstrd]

10. I was a clown in a previous chapter of my life.

And never scared a single child. Actually, they scared the shit out of me. Not all clowns are evil.

[Phillycat]

15. Really? In the circus or, like, for birthday parties?

[evlbstrd]

20. For a weekly kiddie teevee show.

At least in the studio, you had control of the situation. In costume out in public is another story.

edit: I've heard the creepy clown fear from soooo many people that I think it's now just fashionable rather than a real fear.

[Connonym]

26. oh, it's very real

I know exactly where mine stems from -- Two clown pictures hanging in my aunt's basement when I was a little kid. I had to sleep down there when we visited, I can still see those pictures in my mind's eye.

[evlbstrd]

27. For me, there's nothing more frightening than a crucifix.

Had one hanging over my bed from birth.
I'm not saying all claims of clown phobia are phony. Just most of them.

[Connonym]

28. I'm also afraid of sewer drains so...

my opinions have to be taken with a grain of xanax

[evlbstrd]

29. My bedroom was in the basement.

Too many kids. It's quite disconcerting when it floods overnight. I love floor drains.

[AlCzervik]

11. blech-John Wayne Gacy.

evil,disgusting, and perverted.

[Phillycat]

16. Right. And in clown form!

[Haole Girl]

12. Other? HELLO? They are sooooo creepy!

:puke:

[LynneSin]

18. Other: Annoying

I don't understand Clown fear but as for me - I just find them annoying

[azmouse]

19. I'll second that.

I never understood the fascination with clowns. I just want to haul off and dope slap the bunch of 'em!

[Phillycat]

38. Now, see, mimes, MIMES are annoying.

I want to smack a mime.

[JVS]

21. Clowns rule!

[SPKrazy]

22. Clowns Suck, They Are Scary And Inhuman!

they are all controlled by some force outside themselves

We need to ban clowns!
