Feary Tales Archive - Send in the (Killer) Clowns

The season two premiere is here and I'm stuffing a bunch of content in a clown car to help fuel those growing nightmares. Today I will be exploring the anomaly surround coulrophobia and the fear of clowns as it's grown in recent years.

This week features an original story based on the urban legend, The Babysitter and the Clown statue. I also discuss clown sightings from 1981 and 2016, John Wayne Gacy and, of course, well known clowns like Twisty, The Joker and Pennywise.

The artwork for tonight's episode was provided by my son, Oliver Dennis.
