Are Clowns Scary?

Post by Theamazingsquad »

It's a simple question. Guys with white faces, crazy hair and red lips. Scary? You decide

My uncle made me watch IT when I was very very VERY young.

It wasn't very nice of him.

I was a clown with a bloody shirt and club in a haunted house a few years ago. Scared the crap out of anyone who came by. Nothing like chasing old ladies down the hallway while swinging a club and laughing maniacally. Those were the good ol' days...

Hm...sounds like Dr. Frank from Rocky Horror. Yeah, I guess I find him kinda scary.

What she said.

But why am I always too early with things? I had a scary clown avatar weeks ago!
Should I reuse it?

Make it an even scarier clown. No sense in completely repeating yourself.

Maria doesn't really have a problem with them, but like many of the others in this thread, Michelle was forced to watch IT at a very young age at a friend's birthday party. No good can come of that. :-?

I agree. So it's scary, horrors are supposed to be scary. But why scaring us for two hours, when it takes them nearly fifteen minutes to kill him at the end?

Clowns? Evil and scary? Pfft. Whatever, man.

And I watched It shortly after it came out and all, myself . . . but only 'cause I wanted to watch it. Apparently I'm one of the few people who wasn't forced to watch it at a young age. ;)

The book's better, anyway. Even if the movie does have Harry Anderson.

I'm an old fogie, so It came along too late for me to see it while young. But yes, Tim Curry was easily the best thing in the piece. Although the child-actors did pretty well, better than the adult versions of themselves in many cases.

And I don't find clowns to be particularly evil or scary. Still, if you're looking for evil clown action, there the immortal flick Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
