Sirens of Scream

A History of Creepy Clowns

Episode Summary

We've all been talking about IT and our traumatizing childhood experiences with clowns, right? Do you remember our friend June Gregory who taught us about the history of horror tropes? Well, we're combining these things together and bringing back June, this time with a lesson on the history of creepy clowns!  And of course we've also got a bundle of new recommendations for you, plus some extra links if you'd like to read more after the show about clowns.
