Fear of clowns? Here are some more that can make you sleepy

Do you like clowns or are you part of the class that is scared of them? This “modality” of face-masked character, which should cheer children and amuse people's lives, has become synonymous with terror for many people. This fear may even become a psychological condition called coulrophobia, as you can see in more detail in this other article from Mega Curious.

And no wonder it happens to a good portion of the world's population. After all, movies - such as Stephen King's “It, A Masterpiece of Fear” - have strengthened this reaction by planting more dread in the minds of those who already had some clown panic. Childhood trauma and even legends also contribute to this.

Unfortunately, however, we have to inform you that these bizarre and terrifying characters are not only in the movies and have already spread (or still spread) a lot of fear in real life. The Huffington Post's website made a list of these unfriendly clowns or with activities that were far heavier or more curious than an innocent little joke. Want to know who they are? Check it out below.

Sondance

He liked children, but unfortunately, it wasn't the way a clown should be. Thomas Harold Morgan, 47, known as "Sondance the Clown" was arrested for possession of child pornography on June 21, 2012.

Prior to his arrest, Morgan's website stated that he had spent more than twenty years working in his career. He has worked in circuses, large-scale events and small parties. His website states that he has been studying child development, saying "he knows how to interact with children."

He is currently being held without bail. But Morgan's trial continues to be postponed until it can be determined if he is qualified enough to stand trial.

Ouchy

He likes to hit, getting paid for it. Ouchy is a clown who specializes in domination and offers his services on a colorful but not childish site. For a fee, Ouchy can visit her house or party and attend a domination session with painted face and leather clothes. In addition to this little service, he can do well on ticks like a DJ to liven up the night.

On his site, Ouchy lists his hobbies and even offers a page where he lists his favorite pornographic movies. To be totally fair, he makes it clear that he is not available for children's parties.

Among the list of activities he can do in his service are the practices of bondage, domination and discipline, and the use of hot wax. Remembering that "Ouchy" is an expression of pain in English, like our "ouch". One of Ouchy's slogans is "Make you laugh while I hurt you." Who cheers up?

The Northampton Clown

He appears armed with balloons and an enigmatic smile. This anonymous clown has appeared on the streets of Northampton, UK, causing reactions of doubt and panic in many people.

He stands there, standing or wandering, smiling, not talking, and not making balloon sculptures. Just hold a few and watch the people go by, dressed in a really scary costume. For what? Nobody knows. This is what makes people even more afraid. You can check out more details of this Northampton clown in this other Mega Curious article.

Martin "Vlad" Evanick

A clown member of a metal band, but who had other criminal activities. So is Martin "Vlad" Evanick, who was accused of producing and sharing child pornography in 2012.

Evanick dressed like a clown to perform with his Illinois metal band called The Core Of Your Nightmares. He was arrested for taking pictures of himself involved in a sexual act with a child. Police believe 31-year-old Martin "Vlad" Evanick has abused children several times since June 2010.

Pogo

Pogo, whose real name is John Wayne Gacy, was the most famous clown in US history, but not for his antics but for his barbaric crimes. Gacy was convicted of the murder of 33 men and boys between 1972 and 1978.

The investigators found the bodies of children buried in the backyard of their Chicago home. Known as the killer clown, Gacy was executed in 1994 after confessing about 45 deaths. Before he died, his last words were "kiss my ass".

Juggalos

Fans of hardcore hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse like to imitate their idols and paint their faces like them, who dress up like sinister clowns and take on the personas Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. The band's followers, called the Juggalos, not only do this in performances, but they can also walk around in this way and tune the pair's dark lyrics, which can cause some fear in people.
