The Dark Rum Podcast where we discuss Monsters, Myths & Mayhem. Kyle and Turtle return to stories from the dark side discussing: The Great Clown Panic of 2016. Are you one of the 7.8% of Americans that suffer from Coulrophobia, the Fear of Clowns? Do their painted on smiles and bright red noses fill you with dread. This week the guys go all the way back to the beginning discussing the birth of the profession of the clown; from revered holy man to master of slapstick humor, from equestrian shows to haunting the waking nightmares of millions. They explore the history that built up to the Great Clown Panic of 2016 and how social media helped this freak rash of people dressed as clowns acting threateningly to grow from isolated occurrences to a world wide panic. Leading to wide spread hysteria, the assault of many real working clowns, and even deaths!
