Clowns always looked like creeps let's be real.
Yeah but they survived in popularity for hundreds of years. Can't take that from them

Curry was the only great thing about the original It. The awful adult actors in that show were awful.

Also clowns have always been creepy since they create an uncanny valley effect with their makeup.
I refuse to believe Dark Tower opens lower than Valerian. Nuh uh, friend.
India?
I'll agree with you on most of that, but I'll fight you to the death if you continue dissing John Ritter that way
Are you saying clowns that eat children aren't scary?Stranger Things actually had a scary villian. IT is a clown.

Or that clowns in general aren't scary?

The cultural case of coulraphobia that most of America currently has was basically invented by Stephen King, and solidified by that stupid miniseries. To the point where the concept of an innocent clown is now almost completely non-existent.
This is true, but I remember as a kid never even hearing of IT and still being creeped the fuck out by real life Ronald McDonald, so I do think there's something to the idea that clown makeup on a human is just creepy, period.
I think you're right (I never liked em much when I was a kid either) but I feel like King basically gave everyone permission to finally say "Yunno what? This whole...thing is weird and off-putting, isn't it?"
I feel like the clown in Poltergeist helped pave the way, too.
King maybe seeing the clown in Poltergeist while fueled on cocaine to inspire him further.
I can't remember if he talked about the inspiration for IT in On Writing.
I would say John Wayne Gacy destroyed the innocence of clowns.
The dolls with the working eyelids always skeeved me out.
He's definitely the shittiest clown that ever lived, that's for sure.
When we were kids my sister had a doll made after her, which was sold in stores like Toys R Us, etc. It had her voice, her image and working eyelids. It creeped me out so much at the time, but when I was like 10-11, the battery connection started to wear out on one of her dolls we had at the house and the voice - still saying sweet things like "mommy, do you want to play house" - took on a deep, slow, demonic tone. It scarred me for 2-3 years.
Somewhere, R.L. Stine is scribbling this idea down
Ghost WritesDoes he still write?
Does he still write?
All they wanna do is make people laugh.I always feel bad for clowns, knowing there's a world that fears and hates them.
Stop this libel against clowns.

Why would parents willingly trap the souls of their children into those creepy dolls?
