The History Of Clown Fear
- Many stories from the middle ages included a cartoonish and colourful entertainer full of vice and mischief.
- The 19th century refined the clown and made it appealing for kids by including simple slapstick comedy routines, later overtaken by science fiction novels and movies that depicted clowns as evil and sinister.
- Real-life events in the news involving killer clowns made the fear more real and tangible.
