I used to be afraid of clowns as a kid because they are simply too noisy, queer-looking and are always performing magic tricks at a party. My fear was further stirred when we watched a scary movie about a clown. It made me scared, and that's one reason why I've never let my parents hire clowns on my parties as a child. I am even afraid of a McDonald's Mascot. People around me used to laugh at my weirdness. I just came over my fear of clowns when I was around 9 or 10 years old, I guess. But now, even until my adulthood, I still feel a little scared. I can say that my fear as a child and the horror movie I’ve watched impacted me a lot.
