  • Origin of Scary Clowns

    Once lovable, goofy weirdos, and staples at childrens birthday parties, clowns are now perceived to be evil and creepy. What happened to change our perception? How does the uncanny valley theory explain our fear of clowns? Were clowns really trying to murder people during the clown panic of 2016? Also, the origin of the red nose is much darker and bloodier than you think.
