I don't know at what point clowns became intensely creepy to a majority of the population. Maybe with "It" and Pennywise.

I've never been too freaked out by them, but I totally understand it. Clowns are supposed to be funny and make you laugh; squirt seltzer down their pants. They're not supposed to kill your friends, drag their bodies into a sewer and haunt you with bloody hallucinations whenever you visit your home town.

Also, American Horror Show did a helluva good job of ratcheting up the fear factor with that gruesome character in their latest season.

That's not a joke. A 35 year old dude was beaten with pipes, by CLOWNS!

There's now anti-clown groups forming on Facebook, who go out HUNTING CLOWNS.

So, there's a new reason never to go to France.  Good luck with those trick or treaters tomorrow.
