I personally find them very creepy and not in the least bit funny, if I had kids I would certanly not take them! I can't say why I find them creepy but I really dont like them!

What do you think? Creepy or Funny?

    Dunno. Clowns tend to be crap anyway.

    Apart from Krusty.

    Funny, nobody found Clowns creepy till Stephen King put one in a creepy novel.

    If you don't laugh when someone puts foam down a clown's trousers then you may be dead. :p

    The ones in Cirque du Soleil go beyond scary.

    I don't find them creepy, but nor do I find them funny/entertaining.

    Clowns are horrible. And IT is probably the most scary creature ever created.
    Even regular clowns creep me out.

    Does anyone know the reason for coulrophobia?
    Maybe it's the exaggerated facial expressions and the fact that you can't really tell what emotion the person is feeling?

    Yes, they did! I had nightmares about clowns after being taken to the circus for the first time in the early 1950s. :p

    Creepy and terrifying.

    When I was a kid I used to hide behind the sofa and scream when any came on TV.

    Was Polterguist before IT? The creepiest thing about Polterguist for me was when the clown appeared under the bed after sitting on the chair :eek:

    Erm, no, lots of us found clowns creepy WAY before that.

    "It" wasn't published until 1986... I was 15 by then, and had always found clowns creepy. Why do you think King used a clown in a book which was, essentially, about all manner of traditionally-creepy horror tropes, if the clown wasn't already a creepy image to many?

    Incidentally, John Wayne Gacy was busted in 1978, almost a decade before "It" came out. And he was the creepiest clown EVER.

    Took my 4 year old to the circus yesterday. We had to leave after 20 mins my son was so freaked out by the clown. I fear I may have given him a lifetime phobia!:(

    Clowns are freaky, really ****ing creepy. Probably the most creepy thing ever. I took LSD once years back and all I could think about was clowns, then a bit of clowny music came on when I was listening to a mr bungle album and my boyfriend was on the toilet and i was probably the most scared I'd ever been in my life

    damn clowns.

    As the great bart simson said: can't sleep, clowns will eat me.

    Yes I think so and that is exactly why I am afraid of clowns. Horrible things that they are and I always think of that scene in the film when I think of them **shudder**

    Clowns have always made me laff like a wee kiddie - even the crap ones. The sad face clowns are the best. :D

    For those scared of them... boohoo.

    I have always liked clowns but some can be realy creepy

    Pennywise from IT played by Tim Curry

    Robert Powell in Harliquin (I know many say they are not real clowns they just explain Shakespear to the common folk in theatres during the 1800s)

    Jughead and Jiggles (an alcoholic clown and his blonde bubble brained assistant clownette i met at a bucks party years ago) not to go into details but he used to pee on an electric fence live on stage then crank it up every now and then and she would fire ping pong balls into pickle jars on the other side of the room) Disturbing and creepy.
