Clowns always frightened me as a child, but one Halloween made it even worse. I was on a haunted house tour with my family when I accidentally was diverted. Not knowing I was alone for a while I wandered into a room full of killer-looking clowns and they all swarmed me at once. The quick outburst of them from every direction was so terrifying that I passed out right where I was standing and awoke in the hospital. I looked over to my mom and she said "They have something to say." I looked to my right side and I saw the clowns once again this time they looked even more evil. Once again I passed out.

I'm horrified to find out that my mind wasn't deceiving me. It was a man, wearing a clown suit. His face smeared in makeup and a smile painted on his lips, which behind it had jagged,sharp teeth.The clown suit he was wearing was yellow, but drenched in blood. I numbly wonder who was his victim.

On Friday, December 22, 1978, Gacy finally confessed to police that he killed at least thirty people and buried most of the remains of the victims beneath the crawl space of his house. According to the book Killer Clown: The John Wayne Gacy Murders by Sullivan and Maiken, Gacy said that, "his first killing took place in January, 1972, and the second in January, 1974, about a year and a half after his marriage." He further confessed that he would lure his victims into being handcuffed and then he would sexually assault them. To muffle the screams of his victims, he would stuff a sock or underwear into their mouths and kill them by pulling a rope or board against their throats, as he raped them. Gacy admitted to sometimes keeping the dead bodies under his bed or in the attic for several hours before eventually burying them in the crawl space.

A police search of Gacy’s house in Des Plaines, Illinois, on December 21, exposed evidence of his involvement in numerous abominable acts, including murder. John Wayne Gacy, it would later be determined, had murdered thirty-three boys and young males, the majority of whom had been buried under his dwelling and garage, while around four to five other victims would be recovered from the nearby Des Plaines River. The victims were lured to Gacy’s dwelling with the promise of construction work, and then captured, sexually assaulted, and then eventually strangled to death with rope. Furthermore, John Wayne Gacy sometimes dressed as his alter ego “Pogo the Clown”, when he murdered.

“It” in its origins, is Stephen King’s 1100 page literary masterpiece that has bred Coulrophobia within many who dared to sojourn through the novel. Nevertheless, it was the novel’s subject in focus, Pennywise the Clown, embodied in full flesh by Tim Curry that amassed a sadistic following and obsession with the arrival of the 1990 TV miniseries on ABC. Curry’s portrayal of the dancing clown quickly became a hallmark image for the horror canon, if not the face of horror movies altogether. Flash forward 27 years later, the fear of clowns has burgeoned into a commonplace phobia and horror trope. With all this to say, no clown has terrorized us in our nightmares quite like Curry’s Pennywise. Well, that was the case until Bill Skarsgård came along with a darker rendition of the fiendish entity in Andrés Muschietti remake of “It.”

“Along with the story line about crime, there will usually be a personal story line so viewers have a chance to know the cops as characters” (Class Notes, para 5). This is best shown when the detective is meeting up for a date with his girlfriend who ended up not being able to come. While he was waiting at the bar a guy tried to fight him. He later finds out it was his girlfriend’s ex-husband trying to cause friction between all of them. Elementary does not fit the blueprint for a typical cop show. The public is to believe that the clown was possibly harmful or bad when all along one of the City’s public water workers was behind contaminating the water and hiring someone to do so. While this was happening, the clown saw him. Therefore, he got murdered. It was a line of crimes that happened but, the bad guy does not show up till middle/towards the end of the show. This gives Elementary a combination of multiple genre types that are similar to different types of cop shows.

Clowns at St. Michael’s are a pretty regular sight. The Clown Care Unit (CCU) is a group of comedians who visit ailing children and their parents at the city’s four hospitals. The project wouldn’t be possible without the innovation and creativity of its founder Janelle Klein.

Although the idea of a grown man wearing clown make-up, a frizzy wig and a big red nose has been, to many, a source of nightmares for decades; the 'scary clown' frenzy began after the release of Stephen King's horrifying novel 'It' and the feature film following the Pennywise character terrorising teenagers. Even after three decades, the themes of the novel/film carry weight.

Name’s Tom Foolery. I’m a clown. Or what the normal people had designated ‘Homo fossor’ or human clown. There were many new classes of ‘humans’ in Circus City. From the fire-breathers, acrobats, freaks, contortionists, clowns, and numerous other ‘pseudo’ humans the Big Top had to offer. It had only been about forty years since the rest of the world

In light of clown sightings across the nation, Slate.com addressed the concern in an article, Police Can’t Find Evidence of Clown-Luring Tales, Arrest Man for Making up Sighting. The article mentions that creepy clown sightings have been reported since August in South Carolina and have spread to North Carolina. However, there has been no evidence in these cases. This issue has not been taken lightly with Winston-Salem Police of North Carolina where David Armstrong, 24, has been arrested with fabricating a story. The sightings are classified but a Greenville policeman quotes, “We’re still investigating to see what the actual purpose is, whether it’s for ill intent or if it’s a prank.” An unknown psychology professor told the New York Times that

Clowns costumes shouldn’t be allowed to wear on Halloween, especially with all the rumors and scare tactics that are going on today about them. Clowns are supposed to be someone who participates in the circus and wears funny makeup and try to make people laugh. The more you look at their creepy grinning faces, the more it twists into something more evil. “In recent years, films such as Stephen King’s It have highlighted those fears, and the "killer clown" craze currently sweeping the UK hasn't helped.” (Goldhill, 1) Before the movie It came out people weren’t as spooked out about clowns as they are now. Clowns can come off as happy as they want, yet regardless it attempts to hide their true feelings.

I think people find this creepy clown thing scary because people go on social media and watch the news a lot, and they think everything they see is real. A lot of people also started to dress up as clowns and chase people with weapons, and with the clown sightings happening in America. People like to watch scary movies because to them its amusing and some people just like being frightened. I think people get scared on carnival rides because some people don’t like going on rides and they get scared from all of the sharp turns and loops. Fads spread quickly because they are everywhere, they are all over social media and the news, and everybody will talk about what is popular, and once that is spread around to a coupe

Introduced in an encased, obscured space, Clown Torture comprises of two rectangular platforms, each supporting two sets of stacked color monitors (one upside-down, one turned on its side); two large, colored-video projections on facing walls; and sound from every one of the six displays.
