1. Clowns are also the protagonists of some horror movies.
Clown is synonymous with funny in some cases, but in many cases, this clown gives people a sense of terror. Some film and television works often have the horror effect of clowns. For example, in the movie "The Clown Comes Back to Soul", the villain appears in the makeup of a clown. Clowns abused children constantly, escaped once, and reappeared 30 years later.
We can see that this regular film "The Clown Comes Back to Soul" has made many people feel scared of clowns, thinking that clowns are so horrible, so it is not surprising that they have a strong fear of clowns because of watching this film.
Second, clowns themselves have a strange smell.
Besides this movie, we can see that this clown has a strange smell, because clowns often have very strange clothes, which look very different from ordinary people, so if you watch it carefully, there will be some strange places.
Not only that, we can also see some other scary characters in movies and TV plays who also like to dress themselves strangely. They also paint strange clothes on their faces. They know that leaving strange clothes on their faces will give people a mysterious and weird feeling.
Whether this dress is funny or scary is actually between the first line. Some people watch it funny, but some people may watch it more horribly.
So some people feel weird and scared when they see clowns.
