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.
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.
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.
Brooke: "You're a braver man than I am, Gunga Din"
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.

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.

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

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.
