1) Kids usually are scared of things they are unsure of, or things that are out of the ordinary. One example is Barney. They see him all day on TV but when they meet him in real life they scream their heads off... why mostly because he no longer really looks like the little dino from the TV, he is now more real and for some reason HUGE.

I have two clown characters, one is a white faced clown and the other is a rodeo clown, the small kids are scared of the whitefaced clown because it is not what they consider normal, but as for the rodeo clown I use who looks very much like a hobo I get no screamers at all. So small kids are not scared of clowns, they are scared of unfamiliar faces or faces they cannot relate to.

As for teens, it is the scary movies and peer perception that makes then scared of clowns.

2) I Don't know. I just know I am freaked out by THEM!!

3) Maybe because they saw scary clown movies.

4) This may be so and most unfortunate for that. I do strongly disapprove of film or television producers/writers who portray clowning in any way suspect. My other comments will say the same thing. Clowning is simple fun for children under the age of eight years. One organization has a course of training entitled 'How to be stupid'. Clowning is not stupid. It is child-like. One would not call a child stupid?

like if you are going to bed and started to get scared because you maybe watched to much Horror movies and you are scared of going to the bathroom but don't worry you parents are in the house with you or you are scared of some insects because you think they will hurt you but you have to know that you are bigger then them or you are going camping with somebody and you are getting scared because you think there might be some wolfs and you might heard about a fake killer named Jason but Jason ain't real and there might be some woods that wolfs don't live in.

Some kids are afraid of the dark because it's a scary experience. One cannot see anything all they can do is hear. When one hears scary or startling noises, fright is the first reaction.
