“There is nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight.”
-Lon Chaney
According to clinicians, coulrophobia is an abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns. It is not uncommon among children, but is also sometimes found in teenagers and adults as well. Sufferers sometimes acquire a fear of clowns after having a bad experience with one personally, or seeing a sinister portrayal of one in the media.
Coulrophobia can also be acquired by having to pass by a menacing eight-foot clown walking alone at dusk along the boulevard.
