Clown Phobia

One possible theory regarding the prevalence of clown phobia is as follows:

Because clowns have permanent exaggerated expressions painted on their faces – usually of joy, but sometimes of sadness, it renders the observer impotent in measuring facial expression as a precursor of action.

Therefore, for those who are mindful of their environment, possibly due to past traumatic events, they are unable to interpret and accordingly predict what this strange creature may do to them.

This fear or clown phobia is heightened when we observe the “happy clown” performing some aggressive behaviour, tripping someone or spraying water from an innocuous looking flower in the lapel.

It becomes too much to cope with and causes tremendous confusion and fear.

The fear of clowns is also referred to as:
