I know I'm not the only one. I know that the world is full of people who feel the exact same way as I do about clowns. Since I was a little girl, they have terrified me. My parents say when I would see clowns I would immediately burst into tears, wailing "the painty faces!!!" I hated the painty faces. And things haven't changed much. Then IT happened. That was like a fucking nightmare come true, to say the very least. Then Killer Klowns From Outerspace happened. I know. It sounds funny and to some people, it was hysterical. My parents loved it. But believe you me, it's not that funny if clowns already make you deeply uncomfortable. The clowns in that movie remain unsurpassed in the horror arena. Slimy, repulsive, clawed, fanged, homicidal maniacs... Ew. And do you remember the scary clown in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure? It scared the living daylights out of me.
In high school my best friend sent me a postcard in the mail that had a hundred tiny clown faces on it. On the back all she wrote was "Hi." Apparently, she thought she was pretty funny.
So today, I came across this story about the big giant rotating clown head that they are building on top of "the joke factory" in Gainsborough. Talk about twisted! The fucking thing rotates??? Sounds like something out of "The Exorcist". They should just change the name of the town to "Scaryclowntown."

Anyway..I feel your pain. I was afraid of Freddy from nightmare on elm street. They had a guy dress up as him on halloween. The guy chased me into a corner where I proceed to curl into a tiny ball and cry.
*goes off to kill parents*
