[phobia][2spooky][ahs: cult] According to this: The real clown epidemic began in 2013 with some bloke dressed as Pennywise , and so on into years 14, 15, and 16 when the masses reported the multiple sightings . And the hysteria started again this year...
Anyway, the image is from one of several red balloons found in parts of PA, NJ, etc. Two groups of teens have admitted to pranking lulz, but I googled it on the news and there are several places.
IDK, its freaking me out, and more than anything propagating hype for that fucker Pennywise. socalramen wants to see it and take me. And the book club I'm in is reading it this month.
ep 1 of ahs cult was unnerving to say the least. I share two of Ally's fears: coulrophobia and trypophobia. I wasn't bothered by the 'fear of holes' imagery that she'd suffered (although the coral was triggering) it was those clowns and their demonic clown masks that I was scared of. Especially that three faced, long nosed one...
