Bratz dolls creep me out! They have huge heads, itty-bitty bodies, feet bigger than their heads, and too much makeup painted on their plastic faces! They should be on top!

Sounds like that picture on Roflrazzi with Mr. Miyagi and Martin Kove (Karate Kid): “Winners never have to pretend they’re not losers, but losers always have to pretend they’re winners.”

Mimes aren’t scary! Annoying yes, but not scary.

Clowns are scary, and you can thank John Wayne Gacy for that.

Agree that ventriloquil figures should be on the list (see the movie “Magic” with Anthony Hopkins for more data.)

Also missing: The utterly creeptastic ‘Test Card Girl’ from “Life on Mars.” (UK version, it should go without saying.) Absolutely eerie.

Finally! I was waiting for someone to mention Homer’s fear of sock puppets.

I made a video for a high school Spanish project based on that premise where a homicidal sock puppet offed thieves one-by-one.

If this was a cool meter, sock puppets would be near the top, at least to anyone who’s seen Sifl and ollie.

That should be ‘at least two people in a horse costume’. The more the scarier!

I can’t believe no one mentioned the Word misspelling recognition of Bratz. lol.

And Homer Simpson’s worst fear is sock puppets…

The grotesque carved faces and dangly legs account for some of it. Mr Punch’s creepy swazzle voice. Mostly the fact that he’s a homicidal wife beater who tries to feed his child to alligators.

Best clown incident ever…

Guy robs a bank wearing a clown mask in small midwestern town, police are called. Child is having a party at a local Wendy’s restaurant, and his mom hired a party clown for fun. Clown is leaving Wendy’s as police are looking for man in clown mask. Entire arrest is filmed by party goers.

Best part is when cops check the clown’s pockets for weapons/contriband. (big string of scarves tied together, pockets with no bottoms, balloons etc)

My graph! It’s back. Just like an evil clown who you thought was a childhood dream. Brrr… Thanks for the retraumatisation material GraphJam.

Yes yes yes, many omissions – ventriloquists’ dummies the most regrettable.

I think Magicians should be a lot lower, and Bratz dolls should be a little higher.

You forgot Santa Claus. What’s creepier than a fat man sneaking into your house in the middle of the night leaving gifts for little kids…
Oh yeah, taking said little kids to sit on his lap at the mall.

I’m not American, and clowns scare me. Half the people around my age that I know think clowns are creepy.

Srsly. Americans aren’t the only ones who watched Stephen King’s It. Also, look up Coulrophobia.

Actually as much as I hate clowns, Pennywise makes me laugh.

At least in the movie, in the library scene. I don’t know why that’s so damn funny to me. I’m just twisted I suppose

IN my experience, any man who refers to himself as a “real” man, is probably a chump.

I’ll stick to my geeks, thanks.
