When I was flipping channels I "accidentally" lingered on the channel showing "It" for a few minutes, my fingers poised on the remote to change the channel in case my parents walked in. Yeah. Didn't sleep for a week and next time my mother told me not to watch something, I LISTENED! My point? Clowns are evil. Oh, and listen to your mother.

Last spring, there were about 3 people dredded as clowns (acting class maybe?) just wandering camus. They came up really close to us and were just sort of looking at us. It made me freak out about clowns again. Anybody know where I can find some clowns in everyday life (or at Disneyland?)? I have a friend whose terrified of them, and she wants me to see how many pictures of clowns I can get from everyday life. I know about the ones in the MSEP, but I need more...

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I don't know if it's true or not, but a friend of mine (actually, he was from Sheffield, where they did this experiment) said that the face painting style came from the Roman gladiator days. Apparently they would have a jester to entertain between gladiators, and he would cut the face off of a deceased gladiator and wear it as his own. The red around the nose and mouth came from the copious amounts of blood on the faces. I don't know if it's true or not, but it sure does make clowns that much creepier.
