Oh god I've just remembered this...

It was the late 70's / early 80's. I was but a tiny Pooflake, waiting to watch Tiswas or whatever. Occasionally, to pass the time, I would flick through the 2 other channels available...and I would see this:



Something about it used to just scare the living bejeezus out of me. At first I thought it was merely the sinister look of the kid...up to no good that be-atch I reckon...

But then...look closer - There is a nought and a cross on the blackboard. This suggests that the bastard 'freaky clown thing' is not only alive, but has HAD A TURN AT NOUGHTS AND FUCKING CROSSES!

Honestly, I'd prefer to think that the girl (who isn't even looking at what she is doing by the way...EVIL I tells ya) is some sort of loonball schizo, rather than consider the prospect of Chucky's creepier uncle dabbling with board games on TV. *shudders*

What the moistened fuck were they thinking putting this on?

why do clowns even exist?
More kids are frightened of them than those that are not.

As a child I didnt see the body of the clown as being just that - it always looked like a green skull with a pink nose looking towards the girl. The yellow buttons looked like spots of light shining off the skull.

I still have difficulty seeing it as a clown body.

I was going to say something about the 'body'...

I used to think it was down to my crap 70's TV making it look like an odd novelty ballon smeared with plasticine and ectoplasm, but now I can see what you mean about the skull...

*shudders more*

I'm not scared of clowns but,
after watching Killer Clowns From Outer Space, I had to stop playing Sonic 2, as the music from the mine level was too similar to that of the film.

There's really a film called "Killer Clowns From Outer Space"?...

I don't know whether to be excited or horrifed to receive that knowledge...

If memory serves, it has John Vernon in it,
being hollowed out and used as a puppet. Typical bad horror fare, it's somewhat amusing.

Well shag me ragged!...
un-fucking-believable - even for 1988

There's even a cocking sequel!

Don't bother
It's fucking shit. The idea is great but it's just thrown away. The actors don't treat it seriously enough to make it a proper b-movie, if that makes sense.

Looking at this now i'm older
I would like to think the the freaky girl isn't holding chalk, she is starting to make a fist, before punching that fucking hideous clown thing right in its scarycunt face. That's why she's smirking

I think it's no coincidence
that they used this to scare the bejesus out of Sam Tyler in Life on Mars.

It never occurred to me that the clown was alive
but I did feel well sorry for her, having to play noughts and crosses by herself cos she had no friends.
