RE: Inktober #11: cruel - I'm so cruel!
This is the second clown I've seen for the word "Cruel" they definitely do not have a good reputation.
It's funny once they were considered endearing and children's toys and wallpapers and everything were plastered with them in the 1950's, I wonder when the turn happened? Maybe in Poltergeist with the clown under the bed, that always scared me when I was tiny.
The clown in Poltergeist scared me too! ^^ I have to say that I'm not really scared by the clowns when I see them in Circus, but there were a lot of movies and books too where they are cruel characters. I don't know why, maybe because they always "wear" a sort of mask and so they can represent the fear of the unknown things. ^^
