There is a horrible, mean, ugly clown in Devo's "Peek-a-Boo" video, which came
out in the early 80's (I know, I'm dating myself).  Every time in the song they sing,
"HA HA HA HA!  HA HA HA HA!  PEEKABOO!" they show the evil madman clown
laughing his fool head off. That video has been the stuff of nightmares ever since.

 The worst dream I ever had, though, was this:  The clown from the "Peekaboo" video
was chasing me through this old apartment building in downtown Denver where I lived.
 His big, ugly clown shoes echoed on the hardwood floors of my empty apartment.
 I foiled him again and again, hiding in the pantry, running up to the attic, then climbing
down the fire escape to freedom.  Just when I thought I was safe, the clown jumped out
from behind some trees with a great big butcher knife dripping with the blood of his
previous victim, all the while chuckling madly:  "HA HA HA HA!  HA HA HA HA!
PEEKABOO!" I whirled around and screamed "HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA!  PEEKABOO!"
back at him.  This startled him so much, that I deftly grabbed the knife from his hand
and stabbed him many times with it.  As a matter of fact, I awoke punching my own pillow.
This is a true story.

I found out that clowns are simply evil embodied when I watched Robert
Altman's Short Cuts....which is not to say that I ever really liked
clowns or anything....as a child they scared me....but it was a fairly
vague hatred, and it soon passed into a bad memory....but Short Cuts
revived this for me....this woman dressed up into a clown outfit and
then was driving down this road and she got stopped by tim robbins, who
then proceeded to hit on her....she later went to a funeral for a girl
found by her husband while he was fishing....her reactions in both cases
were fairly direct....she was playing Satan....she was mocking the dead
and rejecting Tim Robbins....what the hell is her problem!?!?!?

Me, my Dad and my brother were at our city fair down in Scarborough. And if any of you who read thishave seen the movie "IT" then you know how scared I was. There were
balloons and cotton candy and all that fair crap.

Anyway me being afraid of clowns didn't go to see the clown show with my dad and my brother. Though I wish I did, because it would have been alot safer.  Because a clown, that looked exactly like pennywise the dancing clownfrom the movie "IT", came up to me while I was sitting on a bench with a frown , waiting for thestupid clown show to finish. As soon as I saw the clown I jumped in surprise, he was sitting behind me making stupid clown faces.  I yelled at him and said "Jesus Christ, you SCARED the shit out of me!!!". And he said "come on little girl don't you want a balloon".

Seeing the movie "IT" scared me enough ,I didn't need a bitchass clown up in my face asking me if I want a balloon, I grabbed the pair of scissors out of my back pack, because I just came back from school, when my parents decided to take me to the fair. Anyway, the clown started to fake cry saying that I was being mean to him because I told him to "F**k OF". I waved the pair of scissors at him hoping it would scare him off, but it made matters worst. He took it as some kind of joke and turn a balloon into a sword and started to paly along. I was really annoyed at this point, holding the scissors at his chest I back away, cautiously...

He followed with delight. All the little children pointed and stared at him chasing after me, they all became scared and started crying. I thought I lost the clown, but as soon as I was trapped he closes in on me. I have never been so scared in my life, I started to cry "Please don't hurt me, Please?!?!?". Then he said "Look what you made happen, all the little kids now think I'm a monster or something" "How am I suppose to deal with that". Then I reply " I don't care, just leave me alone".

The evil clown ran off, cursing and swearing to himself. But the scarey part is , as soon as he ran around the corner I came out of hiding, and chased after him to see where he went. But... As soon as I rounded the corner, no clown was in sight.
