I Am Scared of Clowns

I was talking with a friend the other day and they told me this story about something that'd happened to his mothers, friend's daughter.
Well, this lady's daughter lived in London with her husband and their 16ish month old. One night...

...And even though the phobia is completely irrational, I am still really weirded out by them. Thanks John Wayne Gacy, we are all freaked out by clowns now because of you.

Since I was a little girl I have been petrified of clowns. I had been forced to watch Stephen King's 'It' at the age of six and, if you've ever watched it, then you'll understand that THIS IS NOT A MOVIE FOR CHILDREN.
Anyways, I think...
