If you suffer from coulrophobia (the fear of clowns) then you may want to skip the entire new season of FX’s “American Horror Story”.
The season of All Hallows Eve is also a time when another perhaps more common fear often appears - a fear of Clowns, known as Coulrophobia.
It gets softened further by the greasepaint and, once you get past any coulrophobia, is sweet and sad.
