Fear towards clowns

We asked Mr. Alfonso Meza some questions about clowns and thing related to them. To start with, Mr. Alfonso told us that clowns aren’t precisely his favorite thing in the whole world. He does think that the fear towards them is very bad “I think I have that fear” were his exactly words.

He also commented that he can’t choose a favorite type of clown because every type is creepy in it own way, so as to continue with the topic we differed the questions to a different focus but still related to clowns. The famous clown’s drawings were our starting point to these questions. “Actually I feel really uncomfortable looking at those kinds of drawings; they are just creepy and awkward”   Mr. Alfonso also told us that he wouldn’t be able to see a movie about clowns but that the movie “Eso; the clown” was the exception because it was simply silly and completely unreal.

Trying to go deep in his little trauma we asked him for some memories about the possible reason as to why he is so scared of these funny characters, he knew the exactly reason “I used to love clowns when I was a little child , but then one day a very fat clown fell on me and it scared me to death, I think that moments is what triggered the constant fear towards clowns” we thanked him for his time and ended the interview, later we were informed that Mr. Alfonso had to receive an specialist’s help after the interview to finally put an end to this ridiculous fear, according to our interviewee.
