Coulrophobia (n) – an abnormal, irrational fear of clowns.

Coulrophobia’s wiki says the term was likely coined in the internet age and does not appear in printed form in any previously published psychiatric, unabridged, or abridged dictionary. That doesn’t mean the condition doesn’t exist (clearly it does), and it is explained as a specific phobia. Do you have any phobias? Find out by your reaction to these Scary Costumes.

The Video get’s interesting at the 2:40 mark when the woman afflicted with Coulrophobia enters the same room as a clown to confront her fears. It looks like the phsyc students who volunteered to watch the clown’s performance with her can’t seem to keep a straight face when confronted with this woman’s hysterical reaction to Mr. Giggles. The funniest part about this vid is how everyone else in the room is totally calm and this woman is FREAKING OUT at the site of the clown, it makes you wonder who the clown really is. Clown Costumes are always a fun and apparently also frightening choice of costumes, do your worst Mr. Giggles!

At the Circus

Everyone knows that the show at the big top starts with the ringmaster! The ringmaster is the most-visible performer in the modern circus, and among the most important since he stage-manages the performance as well as introducing the various acts and guiding the audience through their entertainment experience. In smaller circuses, the ringmaster is often the owner and artistic director of the circus. Many modern-day ringmasters become an integral part of the performance, singing and dancing along with the other entertainers!  Get your Ringmaster adult costumes today and lead your circus to fun and excitement!

The clowns are always the best part of any circus! There are four basic traditional types of circus clowns, the whiteface, the auguste and the character, a fourth is widely recognized now, the hobo clown serves as its own category, even though technically it could be considered a character clown.
