My Mrs and the kids sh*t scared of them bigtime.
Maybe coz the Mrs married one redface biggrin
Are you sitting comfortably?
Then I shall begin ..............
I was 8 years old, it was my birthday and all my friends were at my house for a birthday party ......
We played pass the parcel and pin the tail on the donkey ............ then there was a knock at the door and the "scary clown" entered the room! :shock:
I ran upstairs screaming!!!! My Dad tried to bribe me with all sorts to get me to come downstairs .......... but ............. nothing could get me out of the bedroom!
The clown left .............. I went downstairs ......... but I have never really forgiven my parents......... I was terrified!

When I was a kid??? Now, don't you mean :shock:
I hate clowns, masks and statues. And there is a special place in hell for those living statue things you see in large cities and the like. I have to cross the road to pass them... redface
When I was a kid I knew that there was a THING under the bed. I don't know what sort of body it had but it had a clown's head and an arm that could reach right up and over the side of my bed.
If I were ever careless enough to leave my leg or arm over the side - even just poking out a few inches - it would have grabbed me and dragged me under to - - - - god knows what end.
If it was hungry it could peek over the side of the bed and the only way to make it go away was to be asbsolutely still, not even the movement of my breathing must show.
I think Steven King had the same problem, cos that is what is in his book IT.
I still can't sleep if my limbs are hanging over the edge of the bed. Clowns are essentially scary - I don't know why people let them near kids.
clowns are funny................ rolleyes
I can still remember being terrified by a couple of clowns at a children's party when I was six years old. Clowns never really appealed to me later on either.
This seems to crop up often of late... not here but in conversations... even recently on tv in shows like frasier etc..
Never heard of anyone being scared of clowns before but obviously many many peeps are... Feel sorry for them, as for me never have been, nor anyone close I know..
Maybe those movies... (can't think of the names) sparked it off in some????

No clowning, and I think we're okay for serious tongue action. lol
Clowns didn't - but "Punch and Judy" did. In fact, I was assaulted very badly by another boy in the audience when I was about 6 or 7 and suffered permanent damage! I think he may have been inspired by the violence.
A good thread.
Plim sad
CLOWNS!!!! :shock: mad :censored: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: bolt
They scare the living daylights out of me, always have, same goes for my 3 boys and my mum dunno

I knew it! you're a clown.
Hate clowns with a passion, I don't find them funny but never really found them scary until the film "IT" was shown on tv....
Not sure if I don't like clowns because I don't like slapstick comedy either and that is the type of comedy that clowns embrace.......
Clowns are really scary :scared:
I used to have a clown rag doll thingy as a kid and it got carried about with me everywhere as a security blanket type thing....but.....I have amnesia as to what happened to it and as to why I find clowns so scary now....what did my clown do to make me so scared of them and where did he go??????dum dum duuuuum....
Oh and whilst I am on the subject Stephen King did not help with my fear as far as therapy goes.....Title of a book for me should be " Feel the Fear and run like hell"....
:boo:
The clown doll in Poltergeist started off my fear. I don't mind usually just now and again when they look a bit creepy - same thing with some masks and statues.
The "Blink" episode of Doctor Who terrifies me.
For anyone who doesn't know what I mean - they are statues that start off looking like this:

I've seen that episode 3 times and it still scares me :shock:
Stormy Loves em ;-)
I am cool with clowns.
The only thing that I don't like that is clown like is the laughing man puppet thing in the box at Blackpool pleasure beach. (I am not sure if it is still there)
Otherwise they are lovely and I have several ornamenty type clowns in my house.
I'm not bothered by clowns but I really do not like people dressed in a monkey suit. Now that really does scare me dunno
now i dont mind some clowns and other clowns scare me, i dunno what the diffence is between the two, but some im ok with and some i hate, but then i am strange so no surprise there lol
I find white-faced clowns a bit creepy but the augustes and tramps are fine.
The scariest thing is that some people I respect find them funny! dunno
i dont mind clowns - just have an aversion to tim curry nowadays!! lol biggrin
I dont mind them. You dont seem to see many funny ones anymore, but that could just be me getting old dunno (when you seen one you seen em all)
