“Coulrophobia: an abnormal, exaggerated, or irrational fear of clowns”
In Stephen King’s “IT”; It turns into a middle-aged male clown to attract children, his preferred prey, and kills them. Thus, being the prototype of a creepy clown. But we all know that children aren’t the only ones who can be petrified of clowns, us grown-ups often have the same fear and just that little bit more pronounced 😉 Some might find it ridiculous, but who hasn’t had a nightmare where a clown (friendly or not), played the lead?
