So I went to a park with my god-child.. and this big clown scared the hell out of her!! She's just 3 years old and my gf and I couldn't get her to stop crying.. And the clown wouldn't stop making stupid faces to her cause he tought he could sheer her up.. In the end I just gently pushed the clown away.. >_>

So what's up with clowns? I didn't like them when I was young but that's because I watched the movie "IT" when I was like 6... yes that will ruin any childhood involving clowns...  why are clowns so scary for many people?

You know, I can trace my fear of clowns to seeing a commercial for the movie It on TV. LOL, I guess that movie ruins clowns for everyone.

Clows are scary because kids instincts do not know what to make of them because they have unusual colors that normal children cannot make heads or tails or. Their animal instincts cannot tell if the clown is friend or foe so they cry from fear or confusion.

Kids are scared of my cause I dye my eyebrows, sideburns, and hair dark blue. I imagine it's similar with clowns.

Why would you do that?
