I don't know why I hate clowns. I just don't like the way they look I guess. Their smiles aren't friendly at all, they're downright creepy. I've had this dislike for clowns ever since I was a little kid, so I can't really say that this fear has been brought on by horror movies.

It's a pretty common fear, in fact there is a word for it (Coulrophobia) and the internet is full of a lot of useful information about it. As always, information can help to combat fear. Personally I'm not the least afraid of clowns, but I can certainly see that some are creepy and they have a certain horrific charm which has been widely used by the media.
