Fear / Dislike of Clowns

[SifuPhil]

Do you have coulrophobia?



The fear of clowns is a common affliction, sometimes going back to childhood trauma at the hands of some scarily-painted circus clown riding a unicycle; other times stemming from nothing more than an inexplicable yet intense dislike. There's even a website - IHateClowns.com - where clown haters and fearers can trade views and tips for avoiding those grotesque demons.

Personally, I rather enjoy clowns - always have.



What about you? Do you fear clowns? Like them? Or totally hate them?

Gacy played a clown...that being said I always enjoyed Zal Cleminson from Alex Harvey's band

But in his later years he got freaky deaky indeed

Well, how can you say "no" to a face like that?

Besides, it's his birthday!

 

[Pappy]

Cripes, Phil. I spent all afternoon baking that cake and he'll eat it all.

 

[Pappy]

Hi, little boy. Would you like a piece of candy?

 

[SifuPhil]

Actually he'll wipe it off his face first, and THEN eat it all.

Hey, when you have a cannibalistic clown in the family, ya' gotta' love 'em!

 

[fureverywhere]

I think they're related to zombies but I'm not sure...then close to clowns from music lore we have...

 

[SifuPhil]

Another clown wearing sunglasses!

Where oh where have I seen that before?

Clowns give me the creeps,and always have. I do not like them at all.

 

[SeaBreeze]

They always gave me the creeps too, when I was a kid and till this day.

I'd slow down, and when he ran to the door I'd pull away, repeating this ad nauseum.

Red was a great clown, as was Lucille Ball -
