Do you have an extreme dislike or hate of clowns?
I do, but its not that I'm afraid of them, I just don't like them. It goes back to the movie "It" in the form of Pennywise. And there were also evil clowns if real life as well, like, John Wayne Gacy (Fogo the Clown), Paul Carlock Jr (Klutco the Clown), and a collective of clowns in Choasin, France. There was also "The Great Clown Panic of 2016", where there were mass sightings of clowns, reported across the United States. Loren Coleman, a cryptozoologist, created "The Phantom Clown Theory" and attributes these clown sightings to mass hysteria, sparked mostly by child witnesses. There was a 2008 study conducted in England, that revealed that children had a dislike of clowns. For some of us that dislike never went away. A few other movies include: "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" (1988); "Poltergeist" (1982), with its clown doll under the bed; "Zombieland" (2009) and its zombie clown(not scary so much as creepy weird, at least to me); "All Hallow's Eve" (2013) and its murderous clown; and "Dead Rising: Watchtower" (2015) again with a zombie clown. So, yes, clowns are creepy and strange. and I do not like them.
