Open Season on clowns
Notice how these clown craze periods came around the time of the IT movies - 1980s, 2010s
coincidence? I think not
yeah. my father has this elaborate theory that the entire clown craze was a promotion for IT gone horribly wrong
This wasn't only in America either, I remember it spread to Europe too, not exactly sure of all countries affected but the nordics were involved. I remember how we doubted it had spread to our little town, so me and my friend headed over to our school at night to see if the rumours were true. They were said to gather around the high and elementary schools after 9pm. We check the high school, nothing there, but as we get to the elementary on the other hand we immediately see a clown, walking back and forth beside a fence, running his heavy axe across it. It was an unforgettable noise. I know i was recording, but i doubt i actually got good footage of it as i was shivering in my timbers. I think i'll revive my old phone for the sake of memories to see if i actually got some clowns on tape.
This also happened in Canada too.
