Do you think clowns are scary?

I don't think they are scary. But, I also don't really find them that entertaining either. I might find it entertaining to see something scary attacking a clown.

I have performed with a Christian Clown Troupe, and taken a workshop with a former Ringling Bros. clown. I started doing this because my kids were involved. I lasted longer than they did. I loved the history and meaning of clowning. I am touched by the idea that the "tears" in clown makeup mean that for the moment, while dressed this way he/she is willing to take on the sorrows of the world and give them joy to replace the sorrow. Not scary to me. Yes, sometimes the makeup can look scary.

I'm not really scared of them,I just find them very creepy.Nope,not funny at all.I don't run but do avoid very well.

I agree with Juicemilk the clown in Stephen Kings IT really freaked me out and put me off Clowns for life. I also never found them entertaining either.

I do not think that clowns are scary.

I was never scared of clowns, but then a few years ago I found out that my little brother has been scared of them all of his life. He says that it's because you never know who the person is underneath that makeup. I can understand that if you're seeing a clown up close, but i dont' think that should make you scared of them at a show like a circus or on television.

I've hated clowns since a child. I saw that killer clown movie, and that was it. Then there is a painting we had of a clown when I was younger. It's eyes were painted so it looked like he was following you -- talk about nightmares!

no, they are cute. sometimes I feel a bit sad looking on them. actually it is sad that they alwasy have to be and behave happy, don't you think? even if their heart is heavy!

hhhaha i remember my brother hates to see clowns because it scares him, for what reasons i really dont know.... well if clowns are appealing, cute, funny, i think there's really nothing to be scared of. but remember there are also scary clowns, so i think that should be avoided ahhaahha.^_^

I dont think that clowns are at all scary infact I consider them to be funny and hilarious as well.

they are not scary and not funny either. i find them stupidthere is nothing humorous in them to laugh at. it's just the facial expressions with the make up which are an add-on!!no wonder they are almost exctint

god, i hate clowns!!!!!! i got 'surprised' by one when i was about 2 or so, and haven't been the same since. there's just something evil about that fake, painted on smile... but don't worry, Johnny depp's afraid of them too, so we're in good company! this is coming from someone who sees ghosts on a regular basis

It depends on what you are afraid of.I don't really find them scary.It actually depends.Those at funfairs looks funny but those featured in horror films are scary.

I don't mind them. I can see why young children are upset by the sight of them.

Yeah i´ve heard that too. I think it´s because of their painting. I like to see clowns in circus... I wish i see circus more often just because of the clowns... Their so funny

I dont understand why people are scared of clowns it makes no sense to me.

may be

No!

I am very scared of clowns. Always have been. My mother had to drag me to see Bozo as a kid. I watch movies like Stephen King's IT and it scares me more then I can say. The only clowns I really don't mind are the hobo style clowns like Emmett Kelly. All the others though terrify me. I actually found out there is a phobia name for this it is: Coulrophobia Don't ask me how they came up with that name but that is what it is called.

i hate pictures of clowns....ewwwwwww. i can handle real clowns at the circus or at a party but pictures or paintings of clowns are too scary for me. even dolls .....some regular girly dolls and clown dolls too. i never felt like this before when i was a child growning up. i started feeling this way maybe a couple of years ago. nothing dramtic happened or anything i just started think they look a little creepy now.
