Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you should know about our recent epidemic. But just in case the slim chance you don’t know about it, I will enlighten you.

For the past month or so (I really don’t know) there have been creepy clowns terrorizing the masses. There are many theories behind them, but I’m just here like most people: “I don’t mess with clowns.”

There are several videos out there of people driving, walking, or just minding their own business somewhere secluded and then all of a sudden they see a clown wandering. The clown may stare for a bit then rush at people, scaring them white. You should see some–they are very good for the Halloween theme.

What I don’t get is why people go out there, spot a clown and confront it. The same thing happens every time. They get out to say something and the clown runs at them, causing them to run away. I don’t see why you would get out of your car. If I saw one while driving, I would keep on driving like nothing happened.

There are many people out there who say these clowns aren’t real and that it is all a publicity stunt for the remake of the popular 90’s miniseries It. It makes sense if you think about it. Think of all the people who will come flooding to the movies to watch a scary movie about clowns with this clown epidemic going on.

This wouldn’t be the first time either. That Charlie Charlie challenge back in 2015 was for the movie The Gallows.

If it’s true that all of this is a publicity stunt here’s something to think about. My mother told me, when I first learned about the clowns, that when she was young that’s when the clowns were around.

Now out of respect for my mother I won’t say what years she was a kid but just know it happened. Knowing this, what if a truly crazy person with evil intentions saw all these ‘fake’ clowns roaming around and did it themselves. Now we have a REAL clown with REAL intentions. Think about it. You would never know if that clown is real or not.

I don’t know about you but that makes me a little more scared when I’m walking alone and I hear a noise behind me.
