There's A Name for It

Coulrophobia is an abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns. It is not uncommon among children, but is also sometimes found in teenagers and adults as well. Sufferers sometimes acquire a fear of clowns after having a bad experience with one personally, or seeing a sinister portrayal of one in the media.
Not all sufferers of the phobia experience the same degree of fear

I think it's the combo if the smiling face and the creepy, crazy red hair that make clowns so awful.

plus their giant feet, big red noses, white faces and just generally disturbing presence...

Scariest is when you're driving and you see a clown next to you, all dressed up, just driving their Nissan Sentra down the freeway. CREEPY!
