Clowns: my biggest fear.

creepy dude…

So sorry for the photo my fellow people that you belong to the really big percentage that has a fear of clowns. Trust me, I can’t even look at this guy ^^. Many of you, as I have, probably the last few days have seen all these posts about the new huge thriller, from the book written by Steven King, returning to the cinemas. I’m talking about the “IT”.

Always, even as a child, I couldn’t be in the same room with a clown. I always had a huge imagination and thought that those people that had their faces painted with huge – fake – smiles couldn’t be innocent or even nice.

When I was 12, I was alone at my house for the first time! You know how important is this for a kid. I decide to stay awake beyond bedtime and watch a movie, even if it was a school night. I turned on the tv and started to watch this film about some kids… little I knew that it was the original film “IT’. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t stop watching it… When the movie ended, my parents came home and they found me frozen on the sofa. I told my mom about the whole thing and even if I knew that she wanted to punish me because I was still awake, at 2am, she didn’t. I tried to fall asleep but this murder mother fucker keep coming into my mind so I couldn’t.

The next morning I went to school, still scared even of my own shadow. My physics teacher asked me what happened to me when the class was over and I told him about the movie, my fear of clowns, and the lack of sleep. I will never forget what he said to me… “Well, I need to look at some tests and I’ll do it here, stay on and you can sleep on your desk. I will tell to your next period’s teacher that I need you to do something for me…” I had one hour full of sleep, and this man became my personal hero for the next couple of years.

Years late I found out that it wasn’t anything wrong with me. So many people had the same phobia as me and this phobia had a name: Coulrophobia. Now, every one of my friends knows that I fear them!!

I will never forget that time that I was out, waiting for my friends when I felt someone put his arm on my shoulders… I turned around and I saw one of them. I was so scared that I was almost faint. Thank God, this guy was really nice. He started telling me how sorry he was and he didn’t think that I would afraid of clowns. He left when I told him that I couldn’t be looking at him. I felt sorry for him at the end but well, it wasn’t my fault that he was dressed up as a clown.

Well, this post makes probably no sense, but I wanted to share these two stories with you and tell you that if you are afraid of clowns, you’re not alone out there! We are all together… and be aware of the whole “IT” stuff, photos – trailers etc, from now on ’cause the movie will be in theatres this September.
