Coulrophobia is a terrible condition that can strike anyone, at any time, but especially if you're within reach of a weird grown man with white face makeup, perhaps a wig, floppy shoes and a big red nose. And many are in fear these days, as gangs of evil clowns -- some with knives, others brandishing sex toys -- scare the living heck out of people, even in Some good clowns say the evil clown attacks have been inspired by the ghastly "Twisty the Clown," from "American Horror Story: Freak Show" on FX.
