  • I don't like clowns.

    bozo Maybe it is because my first Halloween costume was Bozo. I don't know why my mom would have done that to me, but, lets face it, Bozo, is kind of creepy.

    Of course, at 1.5 years, I was too young to be creeped, but come on. My sisters got to be Batman and Superman that year. Me, I got totally screwed. I mean, why would they get such cool costumes, and I get the creepy clown?

    And, no, I won't show you the photo.  

    gacy Maybe it is John Wayne Gacy.

    Seriously, I mean, I dig a good historical serial killer thriller as much as the next gal, but Gacy was just....

    Eew.

    Creepy.

    pennywise Maybe it is Pennywise. Oh, that Stephen King.

    I read It when I was too young to have any business reading it. The thing about King's stories, is everything will be moving along sort of normal, in a Stand By Me sort of way for a hundred pages, then BAM! Psycho killer clown rips somebody's arm off.

     

    bartclown Maybe it is the Simpson's, all those Treehouse of Terror episodes.

    I mean Bart doesn't like clowns either. Really, can you blame him? I would not sleep in a clown bed for all the money in the world. I'd take a haunted house, or at least a haunted bathroom any day over a clown bed.

    Whatever, the source of my clown creeps, there are just some days, when I feel closer to Bart than I would care to admit.

  • Clowns are scary.

    Bring me demons, aliens, people with chainsaws and guns... but not clowns.

    Clowns are scary....

  • The only clown I like is Ronald McDonald. The movie It kinda ruined all clowns for me...

  • I'm surprised that there is no "Poltergeist" mention here.  Never, ever, never, ever look under the bed.

  • Then there is Cubby T. Clown and Cuddles, clowns who come to the annual fall festival at work. He drives a line-green VW Beetle painted with flowers and a big smile up front. He does the most charmingly inept magic show you've ever seen, while she does face-painting. His persona is a three year old who is befuddled by the world, and always hungry. The man within the clown was seriously ill a few years ago and lost a lot of weight, and wears the same costume he did before the illness, so he looks hungry. In real life, she is an x-ray technician, and gave me a very expert mammogram last year. These clowns I can love.

  • Och, I'm not very fond of them either.  My sister HATES them!

  • Can't say that I care one way or another about them.

    *shrugs*

  • I used to hate the clowns when I went to the circus, all except for Pierrot, who was beautiful all in white spangles and with that single teardrop.

  • @SavonDuJour - I think I am okay with the sort of harlequin/jester look, but you know, one good nightmare, that could change. 

  • I have a love-hate relationship with clowns. I was "the boy" on The Bozo show when I was 4. He didn't scare me, but that same year I was at Toys R Us and a clown jumped out from behind a display and screamed "WOOGA BOOGA!!" at me with his creepy clown makeup. My mother told this story for years that the wail I let out sounded like a police siren and everyone in the store went running to the window..
