Coulrophobia is the proper term if you have a fear of clowns.
Where did the fear of clowns come from? Probably places like this. As a kid your taught to never trust a stranger, don't take candy from them and so on. Yet some how clowns are totally immune to this logic.
Often many in number, usually dressed funny, grotesque face painting, doing things that are considered abnormal; these freaks of nature will often scare a kid of life. Adults seem to understand the torment, and simply go along with it because they find it amusing. Clearly they see the kids are terrified, yet they don't seem to care at all.

I remember, when I was a very Young kid that I was running away when I saw one in the street and I was really running in Horror - I did not know anything about a Clown. This Horror did not last and I am happy about it. This work here gives for me that Impression I had that time. It is very emotional and fearful. A very good work!! fav
