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?

They should not be scary! Or are you suggesting that Stan Laurell was scary? Clowning should be for children up to the age of eight years and have friendly silly make up and clothing - with great artistic abilities.

Coulrophobia is a very common disorder these days.It is where the person is feared by clowns and mimes.Most agree,however,that the main reason for coulrophobia are the make-up and exaggerated features of the clown.Painted eyes and painted smiles,as well as the dreaded big red nose,can be frightening initially to children. In fact some children share a similar fear of Santa Claus as well.
