can someone help me write an essay on why clowns are scarry im stumped this is what i have so far: There are approximately 20-30% of the population who are afraid of clowns to some extent. Big shoes. Giant red nose. Squirting flower. Face painted lunatics packed into a tiny car. CLOWNS! Millions of people fear them, but why do so few love them? I’m sorry to all you clowns out there, but it has to be said. You freak people out! But why? Clowns are supposed to make us laugh and bring joy into the world. That's what they do, don’t they?

One example of why clowns are scarry is a man named John Wayne Gacy who was nicknamed “Killer Clown” after his conviction for murder and sexual assault of 33 teenage boys and young men in 1980. During his time as a clown, he participated in community fundraising events, parades, and children's parties. He sometimes performed his acts while dressed as Pogo.
