I remember in 8th grade we had a school assembly. It was a god damn clown show and I was very annoyed. I was sitting with my arms crossed zoning out to the distance. Suddenly this clown walks up and starts imitating me to mock me. So, I gave him the finger and was quickly ushered out of the gym by a teacher. She scolded me for my behavior and I told her that I'm 14 not 8 and do not appreciate this sh#@. I expected more push back, but she sort of sighed and apologized for the experience. Loved that teacher.
Yeah, that feels like a weird choice for a school assembly. I have a lot of respect for clowning as an art form, but that’s just not a good context for it.

Just watched the initial video.

The idea of a rescue mission into Clownspace … that actually sends shivers down my spine. Have visions of that Reaver scene in the Serenity movie, but insideous laughter instead of screams…

(If I ever use them, firefly’s Reavers will certainly be the angle I go).

As much as it was a very good thing, I believe circuses just became less popular when they stopped using animals.
The number of circuses sharply declined throught the 20th century as alternative forms of entertainment became available. I think their popularity has been waning for a while. I went to a circus once when I was a kid and didn't have good time at all.

I am tempted to merge them with the covenant from halo just for the ring worlds.

A lot of White Zombie/Rob Zombie music could fit the vibe of scary clowns….

“Meanwhile, behind the façade of this innocent looking bookstore…”

Serious odd how much the lyrics of Cosmic Monsters, Inc. fit this creature.
