yes most definitely, since i was little.  and balloons too, my great uncle would always rub them on my head and i didn't like the static.  Stphen King introduced a whole new generation to the wonder of clowns.. Bozo you can go to he*l.

Most of the clowns are sad people. Clowns want to make others happy because they dont want others to feel the pain that they feel.\n\nThe Japanese say that people that laugh alot are really sad people.

Because they are creeps

Fear of clowns is coulrophobia, so fear of clown feet would be coulropedaphobia. There isn't a scientific name for fear of Amish people, but Pognophobia is the fear of beards, and Equinophobia and Hippophobia are fears of horses.

Happy Clown, it was a damn good thing that there was no scary faces or scary sounds, cause I would have haunted you forever, and hiding on a ceiling wouldn't have done the trick!!\n\nIt was a beautiful display.  A lot of work went into that. And it was not too much.

It's probably just fluke but who knows? They do feed off of fear you know ghosts and things! do, do, do, do :D

Aliens are depicted as ugly scary creatures because ugly and scary sell tickets.  There have been movies in which the aliens had taken on human form to fit in, The Cocoon movies and Kapax for example, but those movies were not supposed to be scary.  If you want to sell tickets to a scary movie you better not have good looking monsters in it.

The poor things can't help it-they just spin their webs, eat, mate and die.  I think they're scary because they have all those hairy legs and you don't know if they're going to hurt you or not.

I agree. To me they are even scarier than rapists and murderers. That might sound extreme, but anyone who has children can probably relate to that sick feeling in their stomach they get when thinking about what sick things pedophiles out there are doing to children.

In my work, I do meet people with all sorts of phobias - and they can be extremely phobic. Buttons was a recent one - they were OK if they were on clothing but one on the floor would send them into a total panic - screaming, the lot. Also met fear of ice cubes, fear of vomiting, fear of bouquets, fear of balloons, fear of parsnips to name a few. Having said that, not sure what name each of these has! The trouble with phobias is that they don't make much sense - perhaps we all have irrational bits from time to time.

Because their mind messes with them! They don't want to get scared, but their mind makes them scared.

I am in absolutely no danger of coming down with that phobia! (Unfortunately.)\n\nWe always check the kids halloween candies very carefully before allowing the kids to get into them. We throw out everything that doesn't have an intact wrapper. And all wrappers are checked for air leaks by squeezing. If the wrapper puffs up like a squeezed balloon when squeezed, it means it's still air tight. If it's not it goes in the garbage. You can't poison candy without first gaining access to it.
