Coulrophobia is among the most common fears, but some find clowns more amusing (as they were intended to be) than scary.

Few horror antagonists have left their mark quite like It’s Pennywise, first in Stephen King’s novel and then in the miniseries and film adaptations. Then there’s the Joker — who, while not explicitly frightening, is certainly meant to unsettle. If you grew up with fond memories of Bozo the Clown or Ronald McDonald, however, it’s likely that none of this scares you in the slightest.
