ELSEWHERE: A Clown in Town: This Is My Worst Nightmare

For as long as I can remember, I have been terrified of clowns. Birthday parties, carnivals, Halloween events, you name it, if there’s a clown, I will steer clear of it. I remember once trying to watch Stephen King’s It; it didn’t go well. So when I came across this, I shuddered. It’s one thing to choose to expose yourself to fear (in this case, clowns); it’s another thing entirely to walk down the sidewalk and find the thing you dread standing right in front of you.
