Huh, go Underground for a few days and I miss killer clowns or at least the fear of killer clowns.
It's curious how it's the perversion of the innocent that tends to horrify the mind the most. When I worked with a traveling carnival show, it wasn't so much the two headed man who drew the crowds and left fear in their hearts as it was the little girl with the white eyes.
And of course, it's always the unknown that spooks the human mind the most. Perhaps that's why clowns can be so frightening.
You never know what's behind the paint.
ETA: Anyone up for a little hand to hand sparing?
