Coulrophobia played a major role in an episode of one of my favorite animated television programs, "The Weekenders", when one of the protagonists was forced to confront his fear after an emotional meltdown scene I completely related to. Of course, the solution was for him to actually learn how to be a clown....
Considering how much easier it is to deceive the eye than the ear, this indicates a need to work on overcoming that tendency to stare at people when we need to be listening to them. Breathes there a woman so uninteresting to the eye that she's never wanted to scream "Close your eyes so you can HEAR what I'm saying"?
Only clown who freaked me out was Pennywise in It. Both in the book and in the movie, although I have a huge crush on Tim Curry. Having seen some pretty strange - and some pretty bad! - clowns over my life, I do understand the fear.
Yeah. I understand it.

Definitely a new word for my vocabulary!
Coulrophobia is no joke, even if the people who cause it make you laugh.
