clowns
When I was a kid I remember being freaked out buy watching Stephen King’s It at a slumber party. Well, actually it was noticing the clown mask in the back seat of the car in front whilst being driven home that did it. I never liked clowns much and I was reasonably convinced they were a sick grown-ups joke after that.
So I was amused to read that children are ‘scared of hospital clowns’. Coincidentally(?) BBC 2 showed a documentary about Clowns yesterday. Not sure it will have boosted the popularity of clowns at children’s parties.
