Terrifying... 'He doesn't juggle. He doesn't twist balloons into shapes. He just stares.'

I developed an irrational fear of clowns in my 20s when I was treated to a screening of IT. As ridiculous as this story sounds, it's equally as terrifying to me.

** A creepy and anonymous clown has been terrifying residents of Northampton by standing around on street corners and staring at passers-by. The clown, who bears a striking resemblance to Pennywise from the Stephen King-inspired 1990 horror film, IT, first appeared on Friday 13th and was spotted again over the weekend.

According to the Northampton Herald and Post the red haired, white faced clown has appeared in several locations in the Abington and Kingsley areas of the town. He is also sometimes seen carrying a clown teddy. The newspaper also reports that the clown knocked on someone's door and offered to paint their window sills despite having no painting equipment. **




Those of a coulrophobic disposition are advised to look away now.

I didn't think Dollypop did windows.

To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.
