1. "There's nothing more frightening than a clown in the moonlight..."
...I can't remember who said this, and the quote may not be exact, but it's one of my favorites. Maybe it was Lon Chaney? I guess I could "Google" it, but there's a part of me that is growing both weary of and slightly paranoid about our need/"ability" to Google every half-remembered thing our lazy minds can only dimly recall. Deep down, I suspect that an over-reliance on Goggle is far more frightening than a clown in the moonlight.

24. Not terribly, no
Actually, not at all. I kinda like them, to be honest.

Clown statues and paraphernalia, on the other hand, are a little off.

26. Not scared of 'em; I just despise 'em, and find them rather fucked up and unfunny.
But I loved clowns when I was a child.

28. Other, kind of
They don't terrify me, but I can't stand how they look. Like I don't get a frightened reaction to seeing one, but if I look at one and think about it, I'll end up thinking "ehhhh that's kinda creepy."

30. I can't really blame them.
It's not their fault that they are intrinsically creepy, evil and in all other ways frightening as (*&%.
