NO LAUGHING MATTER People dressed as clowns have been lurking in cinemas to see It… and viewers are freaking out

If you're one of the many who are planning on viewing the new remake of the Stephen King movie, IT, don't be surprised if you run into a 'creepy clown' in the audience!

Some people who have already gone to see this movie have gotten more than they've bargained for. As this article shows, some have come to the movie dressed as the creepy clown, 'Pennywise.' 

                                                     "Pennywise" 

These pictures are quite disturbing. To me they do look about as evil as perhaps the movie itself. I can't help but wonder is this being 'staged?' Or is this merely people having 'fun?'

At a time when there have been various 'creepy clown' appearances throughout America, and maybe other countries, people are already in fear of coming across these clowns. Some have actually attacked people, others are simply menacing.

Professional clowns are said to be in danger of losing their careers, as more people are becoming fearful of clowns. While others seem to be born with an aversion to these clowns.

I've net seen the movie. I've never had a fear of clowns. Matter of fact, I grew up as a boy watching a kids shows, "Bozo the Clown!" Why do some have an aversion to clowns from the first time they see one, and throughout their lives would make for an interesting argument.
