I HATE HATE HATE HATEEEE CLOWNS!!
I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE CLOWNS!!
ARGH!!
Let me describe what clowns look like
Heavy make-ups, artificial expressions and unusual attires make a coulrophobic feel extremely uncomfortable. The identity of the person is perfectly concealed with bulbous nose, wired hair color and an acutely painted face.
They are EVIL!!!
Like Abby said, they shouldn't exist..
They are unnecessary/rejected/dirty/scary creatures that take up our oxygen..
Fear Of Clowns is The King of All Weird Phobias!
Does the name Pennywise tell you something? Maybe the chills, maybe some fear, maybe some hatred, or maybe nothing. Imagine that you are alone in your house, it's getting dark, you can't see really well. The door bell rings, you go downstairs very slowly, you open the door and... Pow! A big clown face greets you with an annoying/devilish laughter GUFFAW, GUFFAW, GUFFAW!!! Fear of clowns, together with fear of driving and fear of success, is one of the most known weird phobias and fears.
Fear of clowns, or its scientific name coulrophobia, is an extreme fear towards these hated creatures. It isn't true what they say: clowns are not funny, cute or good-spirited creatures. Well, maybe they are, depending on who is or who is not afraid of clowns. There has always been ambivalence, since people have managed to label clowns into two types. The good, funny one with fear of driving and the evil, sinister one, that kidnaps people and puts them in the trunk of the car to eat them later. Fear of clowns could be toward both of them. However, weird phobias and fears tend to address the evil clown.
Fear of clowns is more common with children; say ages 2 to 7, nonetheless, it can also be found among teenagers and some adults. These weird phobias and fears are caused by two main reasons:
1) Children grow fear of clowns after experiencing a dramatic situation with a clown in person. It may have been at a neighbor's party, or a cruel prank the child's father made. This fear is usually carried to the child's adult life. A similar situation happen with fear of driving, where a traumatic situation makes the brain to retain that episode.
2) After seeing a malefic portrayal of a clown in the movies, television or media in general.
A Social Phobia
There has been a tendency in popular culture to turn the clown persona upside down, providing it with traits of horror. Fear of clowns as part of the weird phobias and fears have been feeding of human terror since the 70's. Weary Willie the clown created one of the first cases of multiple personality in the body of the Kelly's dynasty, father and son. On decade later a whole lot of movies started to give a bigger stardom to these Machiavellian characters. Movies like 'It' and 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space' really created a culture of fear among youngsters. With other generations, evil clown costumes are very popular in Halloween celebrations, town festivals and parties all over.
Abby and I suffered minor "heart failure", unable to speak and unable to think properly..
right Abby?
Eh Jolyn, why aren't you afraid of clowns??
They are very evil! Ish..
Look out across the water
Faces of lonely daughters
and mothers who care
But just can't be there
Swear that I will see you someday
I have to find a way
To show you I care
Even if you're not there
So I'm following the
road to where you are
The streetlights they will
guide me to the stars
That's where you are
Let's spend tonight
on top of the world
And we can do anything
We can be anything
I'll meet you tonight
on top of the world
Hm...
