I am so scared of clowns. What can you tell me about them?
Well, they're just comic performers who use slapstick comedy. Not really much to be afraid of to be honest.
Maybe it is the movie It that caused my fears.
There are various traditions in costume and performance for clowns. I guess you're talking about the Stephen King movie, It?
That is correct. Pennywise looks so creepy. I know it's just a movie but I'm afraid there is a real killer clown.
Well, yeah there actually were a bunch of clown sightings in 2016, but I think it was just people messing around.
I hope so. I would get nightmares if I saw one like Pennywise.
Well just think that they try to entertain large audiences, and not try to kill people in most cases.
Thanks for your reassurances. I will try to get over my irrational fears. But you said "most cases".
Well, yeah that's true. Most circus clowns become famous and have their own acts. I don't think they are mean.
