255 | Clowns, Fear & Face Paint: You Will Never Sleep Again (Sorry)
There’s something timelessly unsettling about a painted smile. Clowns, once symbols of laughter and childlike wonder, have taken on a much darker reputation in recent decades. Behind the greasepaint and oversized shoes, we find something far more sinister—a twisted mockery of joy that has wormed its way into our collective nightmares.
From dark carnival tents to desolate country roads, the image of the killer clown has become a modern myth stitched from real terror, folklore, and the unexplained. In this episode, we’re peeling back the colorful mask to expose the shadows beneath. These are stories not just of murder and madness, but of fear itself—where comedy curdles into cruelty, and facepaint hides something monstrous.
So lock your doors, dim the lights, and prepare yourself. The clowns are coming…
We'll see you on the inside…
