what kind of sheltered bimbo is scared of clown makeup anyway?
Andrew Reed
it’s because we live in a society. now yuo see...
Daniel Peterson
pennywise looks scary, not because he's a clown but because the proportions of his face are all wrong and he always has a malevolent expression and pointy teeth. In fact he'd probably look even creepier without the clown makeup
Thomas Cook
There should be a horror movie about a clown having to escape a rabid horde of people so scared of clowns that they try to kill her.

normies got the contrarian opinion in their heads that clowns are scary, after they lost their value as entertainment. Now it's vogue to say that clowns are creepy, when really they're just mediocre
Ethan Taylor

Clowns shouldn't be scary. That's the thing, by their nature, clowns are inherently not-scary, they're entire existence is to create joy and fun, there are clowning schools and ethics and codes professional clowns follow. The scary clown trope comes from the subversion of that, of taking something that for a very long time was a source of entertainment and making it not so.

The subversion is more common than the trope played straight. Also, the fear of clowns is amongst the most common of phobias.
Jace Wood

Well it is these days. Not that there isn't a genuine psychological precedent for it, clowns are people not acting like people, with covered faces and exaggerated expressions. These same aspects are found in most horror film monsters or slasher killers. There's things on the surface level appearance of the clown that makes sense as to why it could be used for something scary, but clowns fundamentally are not designed to be scary. John Wayne Gacy is scary because clowns are supposed to be funny and nice, not horrible serial killers.
