I'm not afraid of clowns, but I also don't really get the point of clowns, I don't find them funny (but I also don't like physical humor).
Yeah, even if someone isn't scared of her collection, everyone who sees that house is going to refer to it as the "clown house."
Same here. I just dont understand. I guess i understand why millenials would be scared. They grew up with horror movies involving clowns such as IT. But my generation (born mid to late 70's), clowns were friendly fellows you'd see at birthday parties etc. So i dont really understand the fear.No, I’ve never been afraid of clowns and really don’t understand why anyone would be.
Nope. Not sure why anyone would be.

What I mean in, millennials have the internet/social media such as instagram snap chat etc where they can be exposed to clowns in a different manner than from "back in my day" (where there was only movies and books I suppose). With movies and books, you choose if you want to read/see it or not. With social media like snap chat, youre scrolling through your feed and suddenly a scary clown face is plastered on your screen. know what i mean?IT-I read it while house sitting when I was 20. It was very unpleasant.
Um IT was published in 1986 so reading it alone in 1990 had a long lasting effect.
Of course, I didn't like them before and add ventriloquist's dummies and puppets to the list of things that are uber creepy to me.
I also agree with PPs that even if I liked clowns, clutter and kitsch detracts from a house showing and will hinder selling.

I've only sold two houses, my MIL's and my Mom's, and the realtors (different for each sale) said a house should be clean, but leave the personal items up because THAT is what makes a house a home.Clowns aside ALL personal artifacts should be minimized when listing a house. This is real estate 101 folks. Your mother is simply limiting her potential buyer pool.
Yup.....This guy got me good as a young kid! I still try to avoid them whenever possible.But IT scarred me when I was a teen, lol
