(11,928 posts)... I seem to remember a circus museum in Delevan(sp?), Wisconsin that featured a clown makeup "registry" - each clown had painted their face on a goose egg. There were rows and rows of egg clowns.
It wasn't as creepy as these dummies, though.

(82,849 posts)Burn that place to the ground. Rake over the ashes, then burn it all again. Plow under what's left, and sow the site with salt. Put up barricades and warning signs for the good of humanity.
No, not creepy at all.

I visited the The Museum of Jurassic Technology and walked away thinking I might have visited an early twentieth century carnival sideshow that went bust. It was totally creepy on so many levels.

(10,295 posts)and the oldest dream axiom would kick in
1) I would develop the slowest legs imaginable, unable to runaway from them
2) I would get caught by them from behind and they would either
3) begin hitting me on my head with I don't know because I never turned around
4) or begin to tickle me HARD on my sides
A crazy laughter would begin right before they would appear. My parents basement had an old chest of drawers. EACH drawer was VERY difficult to open. And as I shut my eyes now, I can STILL see that top drawer slowly open, during the crazy laughter. I began to sprint towards the basement stairs. Towards the adults sitting and talking in the kitchen right at the stair top. My yelling for help became a whisper. And get caught from behind.
I don't have the fear anymore but I can still see those dreams to this day.
