Geeeeeezzz!!! Eeew. When I was a kid, I had nightmares for years about something like this trying to bite my feet off..(you know, "don't let your feet hang over the edge, or something will bite them!".....HORRIBLE!!!!! I can't even stand to have dolls in my house, let alone any kind of clown (shuddder)........ What's even creepier is that it looks like it was meant to be "smiling".....Thanks, Motts; now I have to dig out the night light I usually only have for guests to find the bathroom at 3 a.m.....Appropriately creepy, though.....:-)

Well its seems that I would like to have this hanging on my front door. With as many of you that are troubled by this wonderful piece of art, I would think it would work wonders for keeping door to door sale people and those kids selling magazines for some trip!!!!!

HAA!!!

I wonder what they thought when they put this one together. "Yeah, the kids will like it, look, it smiles and everything".

Sinister evil clown with a wicked smile, a bit like those mind control tablets my doctor gave me act. All colourful with and evil twisted kick.

Should have known I would find Stephan King fans here.... "IT" was so disturbing I had to put it down for days before the nightmares subsided. God forbid King ever stumbles upon Motts incredable photographic art, it would be like a fright train rolling downhill out of control. I would have to read every bit of it....

I can't imagine just walking up to see that . It's creepy enough on my screen.

It looks like it was just a part of a carnival game, maybe they once had a carnival for the patients families or something, and this is what is left of it.

It looks to me like it's cut outs of a king and queen. Looks like the head on the right is wearing a crown, and the one on the left has one of those funky Elizabethian hairdos. Also, it looks as though their souls are being sucked in by that freakin' creepy clown!
