No, I don't know anybody, but he must have had some childhood experience that made him afraid. You could ask him what's the scariest things that has happened to you as a kid. That should get him to tell you.

I personally don't know of anybody who is afraid of clowns but I heard about ppl being afraid of them before, it's some kind of phobia ...dunno what it's called but yeah it's the fear of clowns.

I am not scared of clowns. But I do understand why it is possible to be scared of them. Some looks kind of mad and creepy. It is not easy to tell how they feel with all that paint on their faces. Also clowns are kind of mean and unpredictable. They do mean stuf to eachother. Who knows? Maybe they will turn on you next?

I have also seen quite a few movies where the clowns are mean murderous types. In Batman the Joker has the face of a clown. he is not nice.

I am not scared to death of clowns but I do not like them. Clowns always seem to be used in horror films and things and I watched a real spooky film years ago, by Stephen King and there was a clown in that and I watched it on my own and since then I have never really liked clowns at all.

Are you sure you aren't talking about me? lol I have always been afraid of clowns and I couldn't tell you why either. All I know is ever since I can remember they have terrified me. It's an irrational fear and there is a name for it actually: Coulrophobia

When I was little my mother actually had to drag me to meet Bozo the clown, he had his own show when I was little. Now the hobo style clown, like Emmett Kelly or D ick Van Dy.ke when he does the clown bit, doesn't bother me but the ones with white faces and such, no way am I getting near them. The book and movie "Stephen King's IT" really scare me. I like them but Pennywise is my personal fear come to life.
