I am 31 years old, and am horrified of clowns. Like Karen mentioned earlier, I was afraid to watch the video too. I have been afraid of clowns as long as I can remember. My earliest memory of fear of clowns was Poltergeist, when the clown grabbed the little boy under the bed, but my mom said she thinks it was before then, at a festival, when I was in a stroller. Happy clowns scare me, Bozo, could NOT watch that when I was little, still can't. I will have nightmares. If I see one on TV, I have to turn my head. I went to a rodeo when I was younger, and the clowns were shooting the guns, maybe that is another reason. I don't know.
