Personal Narrative-Sacrifice Murder

This story is as much about the narrator as it is about the character. It is a remembrance of a person he cared about, and an acknowledgment of the loss they both “suffered”. Clownpants cannot escape himself, and the narrator cannot escape Clownpants.

Clowns are draped all over social media and the news. People are using clown outfits just to get a popular video up on the internet. Clowns showing up by lampposts and chasing people around city streets. They send a mind crippling fear into people when they think of being in a situation with a killer clown. Imagine walking down what could be any street when you look down an old dirt road that you have passed a million times; You see it, it is what looks to be a blood thirsty clown waiting for a victim. Ironically it is most likely a guy who wants a funny video or just trying to get a good Halloween scare. A killer clown who is actually just a regular guy in a clown mask from Target... wait Target has missed out on huge clown mask sales due

That man, dressed up as a bird, turned out to be a doctor. You need to imagine my shock when this man said that this clown was a doctor. Was he really? No. Not by my definition of a doctor, at the very least. This was

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.

One student, Katelyn Bramble-Plotcher, had this to say about the threats made, “I think the whole clown situation was horrible and people need to think more of what they are doing. This caused many people fear and stress.”

One breezy fall afternoon, as fido and I were strolling down an ally. Fido leaped off the leash and rushed over to a pile of garbage behind a old rusty brown shed. I followed after him shocked by what I saw next. There lying in a hole that Fido had dug was a skull, collarbone, and pelvis of a human. I don't know what provoked Fido to dig a hole, he's a moose. I sure glad he did though. My next move was to call the police and explain the crime scene, then I started my work. My good friend Billy Bass said in an article, “Dead man talking”, “when you first start off, you want to look at that crime scene and say, ‘what does this scene tell me?’” The first thing I noticed was all the grass around the hole was dead, and the trash next to the bag seemed fairly fresh. The bones on the other hand looked like they were in fairly good shape. This told me the person who lives here didn't know the bones were there and these bones have been there for a while.

You kids remember the original plan I had for Baggy? That’s right Jimmy. I was going to arrange for her to meet me. Angie insisted that we try and take her alive and interrogate her. I was skeptical, a living clown is a dangerous clown, but you do stupid things like that for your friends. The conversation went something like this:

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.

In Woodbridge VA, there are many legends one of the most recent ones are about the killer clowns. I heard this story from my friend while we were walking through the woods. He said there were clown sighting in these woods recently. I asked him more and he told me the story. I didn't believe him at first so, I had to investigate. I wanted to know what the legend is, how the story came to being, and why people still believe it.

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 just one day 50 lives were taken by a mystery killer. When the bodies were investigated they weren’t normal fingerprints. It was a killer no one saw coming

American Horror Story, a spine chilling series created by Ryan Murphy, has captivated viewers by having them live in the Murder House, escape the Asylum, protect the Coven and attend the Freak Show. Due to the frightening teaser trailers that promote the show, people get intrigued and want to watch the show. The “Open Wide” teaser for Freak Show shows a ghastly clown that opens its grotesque mouth to reveal the main title. Although the short teaser may seem plain and simple, the usage of makeup, sound and special effects reveal a more menacing figure on the clown. Clowns are one of the common phobias that people have, whether they are children or adults.

This is addressed in Fearless, specifically through the character of PT and Todd’s characterization of him supports the aforementioned perspective. PT is a newly divorced father of children that have been taken away from him. He states “I spend most of my day sitting in my tiny flat, watching children’s television shows”. This is representative of him not being able to let go of his children, and his attempts to try again and connect with them. His statement that “ I can’t complain. Literally. It’s a court order. I have anger management issues.” implies that he feels physically silenced by the punishment that he has received as a result of his mental illness. Furthermore, when he divulges, “the judge thought that sending me to clown school would be the answer to all my woes”, he is inferring that he sees his punishment as a joke. He symbolically is a “clown”, in his own eyes and in the eyes of society. In a production, the makeup artist and costume designer would demonstrate this by clothing him in a clowns costume and wig, as well as painting his face in tradition clown makeup. In all scenes he would appear this way, in order to show that everyone he interacts with regards him as a joke. The actor would be constantly attempting a skill, such as juggling, and failing horribly at it to accentuate his belief that he is integrally a failure. The “clown” aspect of PT’s personality is extremely important in the composers characterization of him, as it shows not only PT’s opinion on himself, but society’s as a whole. The audience is taken on PT’s specific inner journey due to his characterization and portrayal during a

‘’Welcome back!’’ The clown said, as I stepped back away from my nightmare it moved closer to me.‘’Did you miss me?’’ The clown said to me now and hovering over me with a big smile on his face. In the crease of his mouth slobbered built up and dripped from his mouth onto my forehead.
