Creepy Clown Craze
 
What is up with this? Guys, I presume guys anyway, dressing up like clowns and skulking around. I have seen videos of them charging at people, even groups of people or people in their cars. Some of the clowns are sporting a weapon, knife, machete or club. I suspect most of them are hoaxes, because if they were for real, we would be hearing about clowns getting beat down or shot, which I have not heard. I have always found clowns to be a bit creepy, which I think is a widespread sentiment.

What do you think, innocuous, malicious or a bit of both? Here is a typical video collage.

I hear McDonalds has put Ronald in hiding for the time being.

If a creepy teenage clown knocks on my door I'll be happy to show him what a p220 looks like.

Yeah, maybe promo stuff for the "It" remake, but it seems pretty widespread and random for that.

Randy, that one does not look legit, just some kids, clowning around.

There just HAS to be some movie or a new computer game tie in to all of the clowns. Nothing else really makes sense.

Dress up like these idiots, knock on my door and you'll quickly discover the passion with which this guy hates clowns ...

There have been clown pranks on You Tube for years with most appearing to have occurred on or near college campuses.

Looks like it's just catching on now.

A new Chucky movie starts filming in December.

Next it will be little dolls threating people. :)

I think 30 year anniversary of the book publication. Theres also a cult film Attack of the Killer Clowns. One of my neighbors was one of the clowns in the movie.:D

Been a thing for a while leading up to Halloween. "It" put a face on it (so to speak) then you have a bunch of Internet copycats.

I'm sure there are some for whom it's a bit of a fetish.

Around these parts people say it's from the movie; the purge.

My opinion is that many of those are hoaxes aimed at generating ad income on Youtube. Make fake clown video with buddies, get $1,000 per million views...once it got into the media, people started googling it, creating a snowball effect of more and more videos popping up.

When I was about 9 or 10, a friend of mine got on the Bozo show, which had a live audience. When the camera was on him, he raised his middle finger and said "climb it, clown." I bust up laughing so hard.

I think that kid is a middle-aged guy in prison now.

After a sighting in nearby town, the police issued a statement noting that they public was not thought to be in danger but the clowns may be, because Kansans are "independent and well armed".

Norm K 10-13-2016 05:28 AM

We get waaaaay more than our share of clowns around here ...
