    Not scared of them as such but do find them creepy mainly stemming from watching movie "killer clowns from outer space" when I was a teen.

    I'm afraid of people I love dying. Clowns can lump off.

    Cancer, I'm afraid of cancer.

    Is that okay?

    If you are afraid of clowns then you are in the wrong place, AH is full of them.

    Clowns are terrifying. I don't understand how people like them. I blame my uncle's for making me watch it when I was 5.

    When I see someone clattered in make-up and obviously have no self respect I want to ride them, not laugh at them

    Me too! I had nightmares for ages.

    Clowns= Evil red grin with rotten looking teeth
    Clowns= Scary looking empty eyes
    Clowns= Ghostly white face
    Clowns= It could be anyone under there!!
    Clowns= Nightmares forever
    Clowns= Fake tears to elicit sympathy and mask the pure evil behind the crazy costume
    Clowns= Strange weird laugh that would be suited to a mental facility

    The OP is right- clowns are evil as *insert expletive*. Just thinking about them gives me the heebiejeebies!! Shudder.

    Never got the whole clown thing.

    Spiders, on the other hand...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,824 ✭✭✭FanadMan


    Nope - clowns are cool!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,880 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    I have a friend who would jump in front of a bus before being within touching distance of a clown.

    I don't understand phobias like that. I appreciate a phobia is an irrational fear but it's just a person in makeup. People be crazy.

    I don't have a phobia. I have a functioning self-preservation mechanism. I bet you are one of those people who stops the car in the middle of the night on a deserted road to go and talk to the strange looking man standing in the middle of the road :).

    See. Exactly :D. People like you are fodder for the fire to cook the clowns' dinners of babies' and children's guts.

    Never understood the whole fear of clowns myself. Magicians for one have always freaked me out from a young age though!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,390 ✭✭✭IM0


    hey hey kids! whehahahahaha :pac:

    Fear of clowns seems to be a common enough phobia. a punch and judy show had me screaming for the door when i was a kid. was a bit glad when they knocked down the house it was shown in 20 odd years later. turned into a shooting up house i think. those two divils didn't rest till the place was raised to the ground.

    They're not scary, just annoying and unfunny. I went to the circus a couple of times when I was a child and I was bored senseless by the clowns.

    Oh god yes. Babysitter watched IT my older brothers and me when I was quite young and I still remember it vividly. Haven't been able to look at a clown without fear completely consuming me since. I made the mistake of telling an old coworker this once and he used to catch me out and make me unwittingly look at pictures of IT in unexpected places, thought it was hilarious, lovely guy :p

    A good friend of mine is absolutely sh*tless of clowns and it all came from watching Stephen King's IT when she was younger!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,091 ✭✭✭hattoncracker
