Love them or hate them, some people just can't bear the sight of clowns.
The painted smile, strange costume and even the big feet can put people of f, while some even have a real and recognised fear of the party entertainment icon.
Part of the reason behind why people are so scared of clowns may be their use in popular culture. Perhaps most famously, the Joker in the Batman series dons a painted clown face. Clowns have also fronted some of the best-grossing films ever made.
