Enrico Caruso as Pagliaccio, the original evil clown
In Re Clown Masses
I was never so much frightened of clowns rather than simply embarassed by their presence, as if they were beneath me, but I nonetheless concur with expert creep-out artist Lon Chaney, Sr.: "A clown is funny in the circus ring, but what would be the normal reaction to opening a door at midnight and finding the same clown standing there in the moonlight?" Forget relics of St. John the Baptist, Strongbad would definitely be having the Jibblies at this.
