I've always wondered why some people find clowns horrifying. I think they're silly. Anyone have any insight on why some people find clowns scary?

My mother had clown figurines around the house. One day my sister who was 2 yrs old at the time suddenly became afraid of them. She communicated to me that the clowns were making mean faces and talking to her.

When I told my mother what had happened she threw all of the clown figurines into the garbage bin.

Who gets scared by a movie?

Anyway, looks like a waste of time and money. Not to mention the thoughts that will intrude when you try to pray...

Scholzman says that clown phobia isn’t actually as prevalent as pop culture makes it out to be. Real cases of the phobia, in which someone wouldn’t be able to be in the same room as a clown, are “pretty rare,” according to Scholzman.

Yet people continue to be unnerved by clowns, which has been leading to real-life professional clowns losing jobs over the phobia, according to The Hollywood Reporter. And some of them are blaming IT for perpetuating the fear.
