clowns (coulrophobia) is real !


I hate clowns!!!! I always have. I've had a recurring nightmare since I was a child about clowns. I"m not sure what caused it but I hate them, I especially hate that evil one in Stephen King's "IT"


Anyone else have a fear of clowns?


Hugs & Positive Thoughts Always,

Hi,

I don't really have a fear of clowns, but I definitely don't like them. They are creepy, especially Pennywise in the movie you mention "IT." I used to have a friend in college who was absolutely terrified of clowns, so definitely believe there is a phobia for it.

Oh, I hate clowns! My dad hired one to come to my 5th birthday party as a suprise, and I cried so hard I hyperventalated! I don't really have a good reason for being so terrified. Something about how they "hide" behind all that make-up and stuff totally creeps me out. You're not alone!
