I remember going to Barnum and Bailey(?) Circuses as a kid and not being scared of them at the time.
They aren't creepy when they are at the circus, a birthday party, an event, etc.
When there is a guy dressed in a clown suit walking around a dark neighborhood while he is as high as a kite, that is creepy.
The Youtubers wearing clown suits and pulling pranks on people have not helped this image.
