Evil Clowns or Spooky Little Girls? '_'

What's scarier?

Thinking about some of the more conventional protagonists in Horror, the idea of of evil clowns or spooky little girls seem so much more terrifying than the conventions of old, such as Dracula and the Wolfman.

I'm fairly certain that "IT" has given loads of us here nightmares over the years, but there's a lot to be said about those creepy little girls in The Shining for example, or in films like Dark Water and Silent Hill, or if you must, the remake of Ring (Sadako was an adult in the original).

So what does it for you?

the little girl in F.E.A.R. was scary

clowns are never scary, just pathetic

Clowns defo!

Spooky girls are only little kids that could be sorted with a good sharp kick, whereas a clown has a myriad of tricks and **** that they can pull plus those pointy teeth IT had......:(

Evil clowns just look stupid. What about Kirstin Dunst in interview with a vampire?

ventriloquist's puppets scare the b-jesus outta me:o
clowns are pretty freaky too.

Ruu_Old · 24-08-2007 11:24PM

Do the spider babies in Doom 3 count as scary?

Karl Hungus · 24-08-2007 11:25PM

I'm suprised at anyone doubting the fear inducing power of clowns. I'm still creeped out by "It" to this day.

There's even a condition called Coulrophobia.

Little girls FTW!

The Shining is the only film that has ever genuinely scared me.

A certain generation seems to have been affected by seeing IT as a kid though... Have you watched it recently? It's pretty cheaply made and all a bit silly.

I was waiting for someone to say "(scary) little girls do it for me" so I could report them to the Internet Police. You ruined it. Ugh. I mean, really, ugh.

What a quote.

It'll have to be scary little girls for me as clowns don't really bother me..

admiralofthefleet · 24-08-2007 11:34PM

clowns definitely, they are evil bastards

Venom · 24-08-2007 11:46PM

Evil little kids deffo the more scary. My dislike of clowns is due to them not being funny not coz there scary.

Yes, I am very flexible. But no, I cannot do a 360 with my head while my body stays put!

Good question! I used to have a genuine fear of clowns. I was terrified at the circus when i was about 4. Especially when the clown decided to run towards where we were sitting. I bolted screaming. That was before I saw it. But I have to say, the 'won't you come play with us, Danny? twins in the shining, is one of the scariest, imprinting scenes ever.

I have to go for the ghost of Carl Weathers here. Scary little girls were scary in The Shining, but have been done to death by now and are pretty standard fare these days, and the clown in It didn't scare me at all. Only The Fly/The Thing/Aliens have really scared me.

GhostInTheRuins · 25-08-2007 01:06AM

How about both at the same time?

Where the hell did that come from?

For me, it's clowns. You can't be laughed at all your life and remain sane!

True. I saw IT for the first time when I was four and it shightened the frite out of me. I bought it on dvd a few years ago and laughed my ass off though.

Piste · 25-08-2007 04:25PM

I´m going to say little girls, the grudge terrified me (though I only saw the Japanese original and that had a little boy, they´re pretty much the same as little girls only with dangly bits)

Creature · 25-08-2007 04:48PM

Neither one has ever really been scary to me. Now Carl Weathers moustache on the other hand...

faceman · 25-08-2007 05:05PM
