More icky than nightmarish.

A couple of the female clown photos are pretty well done, but overall... eh. A sort of self-conscious theatricality amongst the dude clowns dissipates any horror potential.

Never understood clown fear. Never had it and can’t see why people wearing makeup is scary in any way. These pictures don’t even register on the “nightmare” scale.

Emmet Kelly

...Emmett Kelly who began his career as a trapese artist and created the memorable clown figure “Weary Willie”. Emmett was originally a member of the Knickerbocker Circus and helped rescue several children when the circus tent caught fire, killing a number of people. The event was known forever after as “the day when the clowns cried.”
