You should be smaked for posting the pictures! You should have just posted links so we could decide to look or not. I hate, hate, hate clowns and so does my sister and yes long befor we ever saw them in movies.

Clowns don't bother me really although the one you pictured are really creepy. I used to work as a clown and was very careful not the look creepy and not to approach children who were hestitant to be around me. I normally would let the child approach me first.

First let me say I love those pictures. This is what happened to me when my dad took me to a circus when I was 10.

He took me back stage to see a friend of his who was a professional clown. He still had his full costume and makeup on. First he was doing silly things to try and make me laugh. I was a little shy so I wasn't laughing at first. My dad said why aren't you laughing. I said nothing the clown then looked at me and said answer your father boy. I said excuse me. He said answer your father you little dirt bag. I started crying and then my father said I'm gonna teach you a lesson for being so direspectful.

The clown grabbed me by the hair and took me away. Now it was just me and the clown and he started to beat the living crap out of me. He was pulling me hair and kicking me with those big clown feet. I begged him to stop and he just started laughing. He put a bucket on my head and was banging it down on my head. It was loud and it hurt. He threw a pail of confetti on me and started squirting me with water from a giant flower.

At this point I tried to get away and he said, your not going anywhere you little twirp. He started biting me so hard I started bleeding. He actually had flesh from my arm in his bloody clown teeth and it hurt so bad. I begged him to stop and all he said was you should have laughed and I hope this taught you a very valuable lesson. I ran away beaten to an inch of my life. But he was right I should have laughed. After all that is his job and I was being disrespectful. After that everytime I saw a clown I laughed and laughed and laughed.

I don't love clowns, but I don't hate them either.

My kids on the other hand HATE CLOWNS and my younger one HATES CLOWNS and people in costumes. No meet and greets for this family!

I have always hated clowns. It is with great reluctance that I swim at BWV and get vomited out the clown's mouth when I go down the slide. I will not see Cirque (too many clowns) and I shrink back in hometown parades with Shriners and other assorted clown-folk. {{shudder}}

 

[gepetto]

I will not see Cirque (too many clowns) . {{shudder}}

yeah, i worry about that too. that bald, pasty clown in the pictures is way too creepy.

 

[ilovepcot]

Really, really dislike clowns....they're "ghoulish" to me. My daughter, on the other hand, collects clowns of any kind. Go figure! It's hard for me to buy one for her as a gift but I sometimes force myself if I find one not too scary .

A friend brought her mom by one afternoon to show me what she was going to be doing in her spare time.....entertaining sick kids at the hospital as a CLOWN! She was all made up with the white face, frizzy red wig and garish red mouth along with the complete costume. I kept backing away from her in my own kitchen and trying not to look at her head on. All I could think was "those poor, poor sick children"! I actually felt tight in my chest. Neither of the 2 women knew my "distaste", and quite frankly, "pure horror" of clowns.Why do people find these ugly painted faces and mismatched, ill fitting clothes "funny"? There's nothing funny about it!!!!

 

[Sparx]

OMG! thank you very much for those nightmares! That first picture will keep me up for weeks! I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread.

 

[KittieKat]

That first picture reminds me of that serial killer...what was his name John Wayne Gacy. He dressed up as "Pogo the clown", and killed young boys.

Shudder. Here he is a pic of him...

 

[KittieKat]

btw if you dont like clowns, never ever watch the biography of his life. Trust me.

don't worry. I have read a little about him, and seen pictures (like the *gasp!* one in your post above) but I don't think I could sit through something like that.

 

[KittieKat]

haha well good. Just thought id warn everyone. If you see a movie titled Gacy, run.

 

[Planogirl]

I think that clowns are cool and don't get the fear that some people have. I guess that it's similar to my fear of heights.
