In discussions of causes of coulrophobia, sufferers seem to agree that the most fear-inducing aspect of clowns is the heavy makeup which, accompanied by the bulbous nose and weird color of hair, completely conceals the wearer's identity. Clowns also often appear in horror movies, but unlike the phobia, the intention here is usually to frighten viewers by letting the horrific take the disguise of something normally associated with fun and happiness.
my phobia is gone now, i had that when i was abt 6 yrs old coz i was young and didnt know clowns were people with makeup. i thought they were monsters with white faces and red dots on their cheeks..but still, sometimes looking at clowns make me remember my nightmares when i was a child..
