Growing up, I thought I was the only person ever who didn't like clowns. Now i know there are a lot of us.

I would venture to say that there are more people who fear/hate clowns than there are those who are amused by them.

This is the third in a series of stories that made me laugh because I found them ridiculous.

First people were afraid of the big cat, then it was the turkey, and now it's the staring clown.

At least it's keeping me entertained.

I have a granddaughter who is the world's biggest Coulrophobe. Her cousins taunt her by hiding Steven King's IT under her pillow when they are all here. I think that book affected all who read it in their attitude about clowns.

Cube - For something that is supposed to make people happy - clowns can be pretty darn scary.

I started to read IT but quit when I came to the part about the clown staring out of the sewer. Also the clown in the movie Poltergeist was pretty scary too.

My sister in law hates clowns. I find them comical; think Killer Clowns From Outer Space.

As for IT... I can't watch it without hearing the theme from Night Court in my head.

Granny Annie: lol. That sounds like what goes on at our house too, although not with IT, but with other things.

I was creeped out by clowns before I read IT, but that book really cemented my feelings.

Woodsterman (Odie): The creepiest.

Sue Hanes: I remember reading IT during lunch when I worked as an office manager at an Internist's office. I was all alone and parts of the book creeped me out, once to the point that I had to stop reading.

BTW thanks for putting the Night Court theme song in my head. My daughter just told us how funny Cheers is... maybe I should tell her to check this out too.
