This is another entry for the "MAMA Scared Stiff Contest".
After talking with about the things that scared us as children I suddenly remembered something that scared me as a kid. It was clowns. Though, I'm not entirely sure if it was because of Stephen King's It or it could be the fact that they have liquid paper-white faces with blood red lips that makes them look like surreal zombies. Not sure.
Although, if you want to see a movie that depicts evil clowns other that Stephen King's "It", then I recommend "Killer Clowns from Outer Space".
I never really got the fear of clowns, it's an interesting topic if done well but most of the time it just comes across as goofy trying to have scary clowns.
