Good evening, have you ever been to a circus and encountered a comic performer such as a clown?
Yes indeed! Gotta say -- I'm not a big fan. There's something a bit creepy about them. How about you?
I completely agree.  The older that I get, the more afraid of them I become.  One group of clowns that I find frightening is the group Insane Clown Posse.  Have you heard of them? 
Aren't they more of a music group? But, yes -- point taken! I know their fans, the Juggalos, dress up in clown-like makeup. I think more of clowns like Steven King's "It"!
That's true, they are a music group.  Juggalos are freaky along with the movie IT.  I can't believe that people were dressing up like evil clowns back in 2016 and hiding near schools.  Wouldn't that be freaky to encounter one at night?
