Cirque du Soleil turns 25 years old this year — a quarter of a century of amazing acrobatics, over-the-top costumes, and praise-worthy showmanship. If you've ever been to one of Cirque's shows, you know it's all about the theatrics. Lots and lots of it!
Coulrophobia: An overwhelming fear of clowns. This lady: She's got it — bad. In this heart-stopping clip, Chris, a woman with a crippling fear of clowns, stares down her nemesis in the most dramatic video you'll see all day, possibly the most dramatic video you will see in your lifetime.

The Happy Family Clown Group recently fled Iraq after two of its members were senselessly murdered. Unsure of why they were targeted, the three remaining clowns sought exile in Syria, a country that receives 1,000 Iraqis refugees each day.

I think it's creepy when horror movies incorporate circus music and clown images into their scary scenes. Though I don't mind clowns, I've seen a fair share of kids freak out the second they saw Bozo.
So it's not too surprising that the Nursing Standard magazine reports that children are afraid of clowns.
Is it just me, or did this vintage McDonald's ad send children a questionable message? Something like, "Hey kids, don't talk or accept gifts from strangers, unless those strangers push food on you and identify themselves as Ronald McDonald!" And then all the little kiddies skip off into the sunset with potentially deranged impostors .
You can call him Pierrot, but he's still effin scary.
