These Vintage Pictures Of Clowns Are The Creepiest Thing You’ll Ever See.

By  | 

No one is exactly sure why, but clowns are pretty creepy. Even if you don”t have Coulrophobia (the fear of clowns), you have to admit that any clown is inherently disturbing. Most people think it wasn”t that way in the past, but it”s becoming more obvious that clowns have always had a dark side. Nowadays, thanks to shared pictures on the Internet, we know that old-school clowns were even creepier than what we have to deal with today.

In the past, a clown”s makeup had to be exaggerated so that people in the audience could see their expressions clearly. No matter the logical reason, though, the resulting visage was just…disturbing.

To make matters worse (and inspire more people to be terrified of clowns), the current entertainment industry has cashed in on the “creepy clown” character.
