Lakeland Public Television presents Currents with host Ray
Gildow. Sponsored by Nisswa Tax Service.
Offering tax preparation for individuals and businesses
across from the City Hall in Nisswa. And on the web at
nisswatax.com. Ray: Hello again everyone,
and welcome to Lakeland Currents where tonight we're going to be talking about
disaster recovery. And I have three
experts on the panel this evening that are...have all been
actively involved in different disasters. And we're talking about
natural disasters. It could be anything from a
tornado to a train blowing up in a community.
And so much attention is given to the
disaster. The cameras come in and people get all the
attention. What happens when that's all over and those people
are all gone? That's where these folks come in. It's a very
...very unique things they're doing and I think it's something....
If you're a city planner, if you're a person that's working in your community
and you're looking at putting some plans together, these
folks are the people you should be contacting. Uh, to my immediate
right is Dan Frank whose a senior program manager with the
Initiative Foundation. And to his right
would be to his right is Nancy Beers. And she
a Director of the Midwest Recovery Fund,
Center of Disaster Philanthropy. And she's from Anoka
or from Albert Lea, [Albert Lea] sorry. And to her
right is Brian Curtice who is a long term recovery
specialist with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety
and Homeland Security and Emergency Management
Division. Welcome to the show. It's nice to have you all
come. And I know two of you have come from a long
ways and we really appreciate that and the kind of weather we've been
experiencing sometimes. [Laughing] So who wants to
start out and talk a little bit about the overview of what it is that
you do? Do you want to do that Dan? Do you want to start? Dan: Sure, I can do that.
Uh, you know we as a foundation
we cover 14 counties in central Minnesota. And probably our wake up
call on this subject was the tornado in Wadena.
Uh, back in 2010. And
that was a fantastic
event. They were very fortunate. There was really no loss of
life to speak of. I think there was one individual that was affected
that later passed. But
for the most part they were very fortunate in terms of
injuries, loss of life. But they lost
well over 100 homes. They had their school
wiped out. Their community center wiped
out. They had a lot of impact and
so after all that first part was over they had a lot of
rebuilding to do. So really for the first time we as a foundation
got involved with, how do you set up a long term
recovery team? And how does a local community come together
to really rebuild? And it takes a number of years
and it took them that long. But because of the fact that
they paid really good attention to it and that we really learned
a lot along with them,
you know, they've had a pretty good outcome from that
disaster in the long term. So that really woke us up to the fact
that there's a lot to this whole idea of who does a community
come together? Plan for the future after a
disaster? And then try to bring people back together
as much as possible to where they were before
it happened? And uh, so we learned a lot through that
and so we've been a lot more sensitive thinking about the other
162 communities we serve. And what happens if something
like this happens to them. How can we help them be better prepared?
Ray: And I remember listening on the radio to the folks
from Wadena talking about they did have a plan in place
for a disaster. And I'm sure a lot
of communities do. Uh, and
you know I don't know how much that impacted their recovery
but... Dan: Well most of the plans unfortunately
most of the plans that are in place, most of them are
for the initial response [Right] [Mmhmm] so it's the lights and siren
phase as I call it. So you know, they make sure their fire department, their
police department, the county police department, the county emergency management,
all of those people are talking. We're pretty good at that.
What we're not as thoughtful about is we need
to be is what happens after that? How do you organize
what we call a long term recovery group or team?
Which actually is made up by and
controlled by the local community. How do you get that thing
together and then reach out to the other resources both internal
and external, which you're going to need, depending on your disaster
to rebuild and to recover. And it's not just about
buildings. It's about people's mental and
emotional state. It's a whole raft of different
issues that don't normally think about they're going to be affected by
a disaster. Ray: Nancy, you've been doing this for a number of
years, you said. [Mmhmm] So what is it that you do as a
specialist in this field? Nancy: Well, my job right now with the
Center for Disaster Philanthropy is I
run a grant making program. And we go into communities like Wadena
and we help put money
into building local capacity.
Um, so that local people can get the right training
and hire people to take on some of the more
specialized and difficult tasks.
So when Dan was talking
I was thinking about, what often happens after
a disaster is people don't quite know what
to do. So they start trying to do something.
[Mmhmm] And I often come in and say,
"But you're not the first community whose ever had to go through
a recovery". And so there are some best practices
that are used nationally. Um, some
of them from the federal government. Certainly from some of them from the state
government. But there's also a national organization called
National Volunteer Organizations Active and Disaster.
Who have been doing recover work for
years, really, years and years [Long time] And they're
mostly made up of non-profit groups and faith based groups. But
so they're some best practices. So we try to help those
communities understand what those best practices are.
But understanding that they have to be
invested in their own recovery. We're not going to come and do it for you.
And it can be a challenge. It can be a challenge.
And we were, when, in my previous job I was a senior director
of disaster services for Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota.
And we were in Wadena and we had a case
manager and a reconstruction manager and we had invested
in some of those....um those
front line jobs. Those people who are really working directly with
clients. Ray: If we haven't lost a home
it's hard to imagine what it must be like to have everything you had
gone. [Yeah] And so it must be really, they must be
very emotional and... Nancy: I always say that disasters are not
respecters of persons. And so when
a disaster hits your home, you might be in
the best place you've ever been. Right? You might be financially sound
and your kids all did great and went onto college
and everybody's independent and everything's going well.
But many people aren't there when that disaster happens and I've
met people who are dying of cancer. I had a client one time
who was getting, was in the hospital when he lost his house
getting his leg amputated from cancer. [Wow] I mean there, so
what ends up that you have to integrate this
loss into the story that's going on at that time.
Or you might have had a lot of medical debt or
you might be getting a divorce. I mean, there's all kinds of things that are already going on
in your life. And now you're homeless basically.
And you've lost may be your biggest asset.
And in a flood, most people aren't insured. Tornadoes
Wadena... most of the people were insured. I think about 89% of the people
were insured in Wadena. Ray: We're insured? Nancy: In the flood that were...
about 89% were insured. Some under insured of course. But still insured.
But then the flood that Brian and I working right now is
in Southern Minnesota, I think it was 2%.
Brian: Had any flood insurance at all. Nancy: 2% of the people had
insurance. [Wow] So we're talking about
98% of the people... their losses are not covered by anything other
than now FEMA's coming in and doing some grant making.
But if FEMA wasn't coming in, that money would have
to be generated locally. [Yup] And that's a lot of money.
And so it becomes really a challenge. Ray: Is there
a typical response or is it just all over the place when people
get floods? How do they, how do they cope with
that? What do they do? What's the first thing they usually look to do?
Brian: I think it's usually... it sort of depends on the situation.
Where the floods of ah,
2012 in Duluth in the...
northeastern Minnesota was
a widespread...it was... Ray: That was really devastating.
Brian: And it was sort of all over the map. You had some ah,
some damages that were in the city of Duluth.
It was able....they were able to manage some of that to a better degree
whereas some of the more rural counties, rural areas
ah they had a lot more difficulty in reaching out and getting
assistance to the people out there. And so
that's kind of where some of these things kind of come into play here with long term
recovery planning. In that it's not a
quick and easy fix kind of thing. The responses
may be fast. You know, usually as
Dan was pointing out, we're very attuned to
life safety. We want to make sure that anyone who's
in any threat or any danger, gets assistance
right away. You know whether it's
a...you see the dramatic films on television and things like
that of rescues and things like that. But it's
sort of the day after than what happens in the
long planning that takes, that needs to take place. The planning that
needs and the actions that need to take place to
put the communities back on their feet and um
make them whole again. You know, we use the term now
a whole community recovery. Because it's
that what it takes. It's not just well it's just this
business or this institution. It has to be
the entire community coming together. Ray: And Brian you said you're with
public safety but also homeland security. Brian: I work
for the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management which is
part of the Department of Public Safety in Minnesota.
My job as community recovery specialist I'm
I work with groups like
Dan's Initiative Foundation and
Nancy's Center for Disaster Philanthropy
and a number of other volunteer organizations and foundations.
Trying to get working to help communities
plan for these kinds of events
that have been happening. Through sort of the school
of hard knocks, we've learned that the more planning you do ahead of time,
and this goes all the way down to your own family
kind of thing. You plan for emergencies kind of thing but what
happens to a community? The one thing we
do know is that the communities really need to take
this on for themselves to help rebuild them as part
of their identity to a certain extent. We can provide some
technical assistance. We can provide a lot of information ah,
and that's kind of what my role is with working with
them. Ray: Let's...maybe use an example
of Melrose. Because Melrose had a couple disasters
last year. They had...well this ah this
church, one of the major Catholic churches
had a serious fire. Then it wasn't a whole lot later
they had a serious fire downtown Melrose, didn't they? Dan: Right
and that's a nice little example that ah...
could be a good one to look at. Well, and as part of that example
here, the church actually is pretty well insured.
And so they're really going through a process right now
I've been in the church to look at the damage. Very,
it looks a lot worse on the inside than it does on the outside I can tell you right.
Ah, but they're pretty well insured
and so you know now they're just trying to decide you know,
it's a historic building. What we do, etc? And they're
meeting as worship somewhere else. So, really a challenge and difficult
for that faith community. But pretty much financially
under control for the most part. Ah, now
the downtown fire displaced 11 businesses
and about 50 people. [Wow!]
Who were in apartments upstairs of those businesses.
And so we're involved as the Initiative Foundation
and other organizations, including Catholic Charities
whose doing our case management there. You know we've talked about
the importance of that piece. Um, involved
in trying to find housing, etc. long
term. Now that you know they had initial housing that Red Cross and
others helped with. But in the long term, housing is in short
supply in Melrose. So now they've got these families that are
looking for housing. There's are about 11 or 12 families.
And most of these families by the way are
relatively new immigrants. Most of them are Hispanic.
And most of them do not have english
as a first language. Which is why Catholic Charities was chosen
to do case management. Because they have people that speak spanish.
Something they're very familiar with in the area.
And then of course we have these businesses that we're working with
in cooperation with a number of funders.
AgStar helped out with that. Some of their local banks and credit unions
helped out. The Blandin Foundation helped out. So,
in the long term recovery there we have a business area,
which is true in almost every community. Businesses need to recover too.
It's very important. It's great if you have a house. [Simultaneously] But what if your
business...you don't have a job now. [Yup] You know?
Or you can't the services you need because the business is gone. So you need both of those
areas. And so we're working with the
community through a long term recovery team and a long term
recovery fund where we help them raise
money through all these different sources. Some of it,
much of it local. And so now we're working day to day
with the hard work of actually getting those people back
into houses. Having the furnishings they need. And
getting those businesses relocated
and an opportunity to come back. And that's probably going to take
a good year or so at least for that.
And then of course you've got the business owners. They lost four pieces
four businesses in their downtown that were totally wiped
out. And so now those people that own those businesses have
got to decide if they're going to rebuild or not. And needless to say the
insurance that most of them had probably most of them
that insurance is not quite adequate to rebuild what they
had at today's standards. Ray: I was going to say
that's probably... you know you see the disasters
on the national television. And so many times you see small
business owners saying there's no way I can get back
into this business again. I just have to quit. [Mmhmm] [That's right.] That's a real
tragedy. Ray: I would guess that maybe
a part of the planning process is to make sure people understand
how much insurance they have to have. [Yeah]
Would that be true? [Yeah] Dan: That's helpful. How much insurance
they should have. And then also, once it happens, what are the resources
available? [Right] And for instance, we never used to think
that we could make grants to businesses. Because they're
not really a technically
speaking, they are not a charitable organization.
[Mmhmm] But actually there are methodologies that
we've been able to work with others. Where we do grant some dollars to
businesses to help them reestablish to help make up the
short fall between their insurance that they have
and what it's actually going to cost them. It doesn't make it up
totally. They still are hurt. But if we can make
it possible for them to get back in business and help the local community
do that, then that's worth doing.
Ray: So if you were to walk into a community like Brainerd, and I have no idea
what Brainerd's planning stages are here but
what, what's the first things you do to start working
on this? Nancy: Well, I don't do that. I.. don't
do planning stages. My job is specifically
I always say, I'm kind of like the non-profit FEMA person where
I go into the community only if a disaster has happened. [Mmhmm]
And I help them build capacity. But I always say
to the communities the best time to build your capacity
for a disaster, is after a disaster. [That's right.] Because nobody
wants to be more prepared when they...[Yeah] ...until they
realize how poorly prepared they were, right? [Yeah] So it's
really a great opportunity. So, one of the things that we're trying
to do with our program, and I know other philanthropy's are doing as well is
trying to understand this idea of community resiliency
and how that ties into disaster recovery work. So as
we do recovery work, we're also building resiliency for future
disaster. [For the next time.] So making sure not putting people back in
harm's way. Making sure that we're better decisions about
you know, placing trees or taking old trees down. If you
live in a community with a lot of old trees. And
like we do in the midwest. Um, really talking about flood
plain, and what flood plain means. And making sure....
because our most vulnerable people live in flood plains. [Mmhmm]
Most people that are building today aren't building
on or near flood plains. But the older houses that
live there... Ray: Cheaper land, I suspect. Nancy: Cheaper land... a lot of
rental properties, right? [Mmhmm] And so were adding
vulnerability to vulnerability. And so we really
need to be making better decisions. And you know, we were talking
a little bit earlier about the fact that disaster recovery is also
about community development or redevelopment,
right? So, if things were located in areas that
weren't really good for the community, it's also a chance to redevelop.
And so those opportunities come along. I know they
came along in Wadena as well. [Yup] But
the planning part that Dan's talking about [Mmhmm]
which is really this idea about, getting people understanding the
process of recovery, it's pretty new.
A lot of, I mean a lot of communities, unless you live in New Orleans or
in hurricane alley, where you know, it's a given [Right]
that this is going to happen. But you know, we're seeing
more and more catastrophic events in the midwest. More
drought versus flash flood. They almost happen simultaneously
and it really exacerbates the situation.
Brian: Yeah. Making the case for these kinds of ideas
is actually becoming easier because we can show people
that these things have happened. We can show, we talk about Wadena.
You know later, next year we're going to be talking
a lot more about Waseka [Yeah] and all these kinds of things. One of the
hard things though is to figure out how do you do this?
And that's kind of one of the things that we've been talking about. Dan and I
have been talking to some communities where we've we reach out to
some of the local civic leaders and local governments
to talk about these sort of things and ask them how
would, you know, and provide some technical knowledge
and talk to them about engaging their local communities
about these kinds of topics. Who would lead
a long term recovery effort in your town? They may not know
but we can give them some ideas of who would be
good people, you know, civic leaders of some sort. It doesn't necessarily
you don't want necessarily to have a mayor or
an official kind of thing because you want it have it be more
of a civic project kind
of thing. [Mmhmm] So one of the things that we do is we go out
to these communities across the state where
they can identify some vulnerabilities you know from
floods, or tornadoes or anything else. Like I just said,
you know, perhaps some kind of an oil train
or something like that. Where you can say, these are things you need to think about
and what happens after? And who would you, who would you
go to, you know? How would you put this together?
There's a lot of technical aspects to this stuff where
you can say, you'd should plan for this stuff
and they say ok but what does that really mean?
You know, you're going to be collecting money. People give donations.
You know, who manages that? Who gets the money? How do you
you know prioritize the needs of the community?
And those are the kinds of things that these long term recovery committees
that we're encouraging communities to create
would be tasked with. And we can show them
through both from good and bad examples, I think along
through history where these things have, are...
obviously, hopefully the good ones to say... these are some thoughts you need to
put behind this as you move forward. Dan: What we've been doing
with we did two pilots this last year. We did one in Staples
and that's why we were...Hope put on the list to be able to be here but she
wasn't able to. Ah, and we did one in Millaca. And
what we actually did is we went in and we set up
a skeleton a small long term recovery team before they have
a disaster, of about ten people. And then we
train them in what kind of disasters might they
expect. And if they did have a disaster, what are the elements
that they would have to deal with as a long term recovery team? And
then we give them resources and materials, we spend a day with them
and when we leave, the idea is is that
next time their fire department or their police department
does a....a disaster drill like say,
an oil train derailment, ok? Because that's been the news
in the past. Or a flood. Ah, and
so they do that. And when they do those disaster drills they
practice the initial response. You know, how do you get people
health and safety. But then we're saying, now...now that you have
that team for long term recovery and they have some knowledge
the day after the disaster drill, that team
then has a drill to say, ok...we just practiced an
oil train derailment. Now if we would have had an oil train derailment
what are the things we would need to be dealing with if that would've
happened? And then, they go through what we call a table top
exercise to talk through, ok we would have needed this
this and this. Where would we get that, etc? And
we've already given them the information and training so they know where
to go for the help. To organizations like for instance,
to ah the Homeland Security Emergency Management
and their local emergency manager who can then reach out
to MInnesota VOAD, the Voluntary Organizations
Active and Disaster, who can bring in other
people even for long term recovery. They can help them with that
process. Or people like Nancy's organization
and or Homeland Security itself, they can help
connect them with resources. So it gives them a head start.
They've got a team of people who've already thought about this. So that's
what we did in two cases. In the ah,
the ah evidence won't be in until and if they have a
disaster and we see how much that helps. Ray: Are most of those folks volunteers
or are some of them...? Dan: Yeah, most of them are volunteers. We
try to get....for instance most of them have been like somebody from the
city, the local emergency manager, somebody from local
hospital or clinic. Somebody from the school district, somebody from the chamber
of commerce. Faith community. Ah and if you
have anybody in town that does psychological type services
and emotional services. And of course, non profits.
Like for instance, when we had the wind storm here in Brainerd in
2015. Bridges of Hope actually and Lutheran Social
Services and the Salvation Army and
Tri-Cap, you know community action agency all worked together
to do case management. So those are the things they need to think
through. So what were trying to get them to do is just give them a
little training, help them get organized. And then once they have a disaster
they're ready to go into action quicker.
Which is really key if you have a disaster. Even long term
recovery groups need to get started very
quickly after the disaster happens.
Nancy: I think the other thing that we ah, take for granted
is that a community is going to be able to organize. But the community has been
traumatized. [Yes] And we forget that the
that everybody in the community is traumatized usually. [Is effected]
If it's a significant event. And so really
the fact that the three of us
kind of can stand in that gap while the
community sort of mourns their losses and
and kind of gets past this
initial...you know, this is what always happens,
Or, "I'm Ok. I'm Ok." But
the truth of it is, you're ok today. And that's
great and we're all grateful for that. But in two months
when you....you can't repair your home because you have
no money and you don't know where to turn
for help, that's when the community really needs to stand in that gap.
And in between those two stages, I think
people like us come in and say, let's get you organized so
when that part comes we can...we know that we
can have the resources available. It's really about developing
resources. [It is.] At the end of the day all of this organization
and all that we do happens because we want to make sure
that every single person who has lost their home
in a disaster can be...go back home.
And that can be really complicated. Because you have to work with
people on an individual basis. Everyone has different insurances
different needs. Has a different payment
plan on their house. Has different people living in their house lots of times
and especially in places like Minnesota. And this
is true. I work in the midwest, I work in ten states in the midwest. We have
a lot of people for example who aren't deed holders of their homes. [Yes]
Ray: Oh really? Nancy: There's a lot of legal issues so you know
a lot of small towns in the midwest
um, families have moved into...you know into town but they still own
their homes in the rural towns. Like the small
200-300 elevator towns that we have all across southern Minnesota.
Um, those homes might
your cousin might live there. Or your nephew might live there. And if you're not
the deed holder for the home, you can't get help
from a lot of organizations. [Oh, sure] Right. So we bring
in legal aide. We bring in all kinds of people. Ah, animals
and farm....um, farming communities
[Pets] pets. There's all these different layers
of um...Ray: That you don't think about. Nancy: That you don't think about. Ray: Until you don't
have it. Nancy: You don't have it. Brian: One of the terms that we use with a lot of our planning is called
meeting the unmet needs. [Yes] That's looking for
ah, when FEMA comes to town or with other
ah, assistance's out there we can....we can help rebuild
in some of these cases and things. But it doesn't cover
everything. Um and often times there
are needs beyond what um, you know the
grant from FEMA or from the state or anything else, any other local
can do. And that's where these committees
need to get together. And because we live in
a, in a good place here where you know there's
generally not...no shortage of getting donations from local
ah, benefactors here.
You know from the local communities. But then you know
how does that money get to the people who need it the most? Ah, and
what is it for? And how can we make sure that these
gaps, ah that Nancy talked about are
filled? And sometimes they don't show up right away.
And so the long term recovery committees are something that often times
can take months, years to fulfill their
mission. If you just look at things even as the
large scale things like hurricane Sandy, there's still
they're still out there trying to put people. Ray: Isn't that something? [Yeah, yeah]
[And Katrina, yeah] Nancy: Well the....and the recovery in Rushford took 18
months. [Yes] That was a large disaster in southern Minnesota.
And the recovery in ah, in ah northeast Minnesota
took 18 months. [Wow] That committee....that committee was
standing for 18 months. Brian: It's not completely over yet either, I mean there are still things that are
popping up now and then that ah, were a
result of that event. [Wow] So being able to
ah keep a committee together ah, and committed
to rebuilding those communities often takes a lot of
commitment from the local people. [Yeah] Ray: We're down
to our last minute. What advice would you give? And
we're going to post your website on the end of this. [Yup] Is that the place that people should
start? Dan: That's one place they can start. And it connects to resources
from both that ah, have come out
that ah, Nancy certainly used and referred to.
And also with Homeland Security.
Ah, so that's not a bad place to start. One thing is there's lots of resources.
And on that website that they'll see we tried to narrow it down
just to a good sampling both for communities and businesses.
So that's a good place they can start. And it will connect you to our other
key partners that are sitting here at the table.
Ray: Well, it's really... good work that you folks are doing
and I appreciate your taking the time to jump on the show with us today. [Thank you]
And talk about this. And we'll have that information posted and ah [Great]
if you're city manager or whatever ah this
is the place to start. So thank you folks very much, appreciate it.
[Thank you, Ray.] Ray: You've been watching Lakeland Currents where
we're talking about what you're talking about. I'm Ray Gildow
so long until next time.

Pennywise The Dancing Clown - Why is IT Scary? | Darkology #14 - Duration: 9:28.
When you think of clown, the very first image that comes to mind is Loonette from The Big
Comfy Couch.
"Wrong"
Just kidding.
It's THIS guy.
Even when you search up "nice clown", he's the very first image, trolling anyone
with coulrophobia.
With the recent wave of interest in clowns, including 2016's creepy clown sightings,
I thought it was time to dust off the old clown topic.
The new teaser trailer for the upcoming adaptation of IT is hitting us hard.
Let's just roll that a few more times.
Clowns have become synonymous with the phrase "will murder you".
They get a bad rap but it's hard to blame people.
Even when they're nice, they're terrifying.
Fresh from the uncanny valley, they almost exclusively now appear as menacing creatures
in film and pop culture.
Even Disney acknowledges this in a scene from the animated film, Inside Out.
And the king of clowns- well he's been at the top since his film debut in the 90s.
By many, he's widely considered to be the scariest clown in history.
You don't even need to know his backstory- his appearance alone frightens enough people
to make him so widely popular.
So just what is it exactly about Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the idea and the character,
that makes him so potently horrifying?
Today we'll find out on this episode of Darkology.
"My name is Pennywise The Dancing Clown"
"See you in your dreams!"
Coulrophobia as you may already know, is the irrational fear of clowns- coulro in Greek
meaning "the one who walks on stilts".
According to Rami Nader, a psychologist and director of the North Shore Stress and Anxiety
Clinic in North Vancouver, B.C., the psychological roots of the phobia may be traced to the fact
that clowns are basically wearing disguises (albeit funny ones) while displaying artificial
emotions (even silly ones) that perhaps hide their true feelings.
A study in England surveyed 250 youth patients at a hospital on their opinion of clowns.
The result?
All 250 reported that they generally disliked clowns.
It was unanimous.
But interestingly enough, coulrophobia doesn't appear as a mental disorder in the DSM-5,
the official psychological handbook of mental disorders- which indicates that there isn't
really an official or effective way for treating this fear.
The "evil clown" archetype was solidified by the 1980s, as a result of the influence
from real life serial killer John Wayne Gacy, as well as fictional characters that popularized
the idea like The Joker and most notably, Stephen King's novel, IT.
While older generations may remember clowns as party entertainers, the current generation
of youth really only know clowns as evil and creepy.
Hell, I remember seeing clowns at birthday parties as a kid and I wasn't too particularly
fond of them myself.
Some of you might remember the time of Blockbuster, where you could run down to a video store
and pick and rent a tape to watch at home.
These stores always sectioned their selections based on genre, and as a kid, I remember being
extra cautious around the horror section, for fear of setting my eyes upon the image
of a certain nightmarish clown that appeared on a movie cover which had two big red letters
that simply read "IT".
But for me, this fear of clowns eventually evolved into a morbid fascination that I think
applies to many of you out there as well.
So let's take a deeper look at Tim Curry's portrayal of Pennywise the Dancing Clown-
the image and behavior as well as how people respond to him.
Here are four pictures of clowns.
Be honest, which one caught your attention first?
Was it possibly one of the ones in red?
There's a point to this I promise.
Pennywise's bright red lips accentuate his malicious smile.
If we look at the psychological properties of colours, red happens to be the most powerful.
It appears to be nearer than it is, and thus grabs our attention first, evoking a powerful
sense of fight or flight.
This is why the most important traffic lights are red.
It is stimulating and lively, very friendly.
And at the same time, can be perceived as demanding and aggressive.
Pennywise the Dancing Clown has a spherical elongated head, which makes him look almost
human, but at the same time, very much not.
In fact, it's this gap in the theorized "uncanny valley" concept.
He's realistic enough, but also so clearly not human that it's dead-on creepy.
In our first glimpse at Pennywise in the film, the girl is initially happy to see a clown
in her front yard, but then we see the gradual change in her expression as the absence of
a party and the ghastly look on his face begins to finally sink in.
For clowns in general, the pale makeup makes them appear extremely ghostly.
And in combination with his abnormally long forehead, Pennywise's glaring white makeup
highlights his entire head, like a sun, directing your eyes straight to his face.
And what about hair?
Ronald McDonald has bright red hair, but it's in natural locks that scream shampoo and conditioner.
Pennywise's hair is fried and juts out in all directions, giving him a disheveled look,
as well as pointing more line emphasis, like rays from the sun, towards his face.
From his nose, to his lips, to his big and wild hair, Pennywise's head immediately
grabs your unconscious attention.
Above his eyes, are two blue triangles that accentuate his eyelids.
Where red is a physical color, blue is an intellectual one.
While blue may evoke a sense of intelligence and calmness, it is also indicative of unfriendliness-
a primary reason why it's a rare color to see on a clown who isn't wearing it ironically.
Speaking of his eyes, have you noticed that they're usually always bloodshot?
This makes him look wild and manic- brimming with deranged excitement and energy.
If you saw someone with this appearance in any setting other than at a party, there's
probably something very wrong.
Say for example, a sewer.
Throughout the scene, we can clearly see that even someone as young and naive as Georgie
begins to grow suspicious.
This is what we can infer from his image alone.
Now with context into the character- well, that's a different story.
Pennywise is a shapeshifter, mind-controller, and teleporter.
It's ominous to think that the blood he leaves behind can't be normally seen by
others.
That he might disguise himself as your loved ones, even when they're dead, and if that
wasn't enough, also read your mind and take on the form of your worst fear.
"RAAAAAHH!!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Stan!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"You saw it too."
"I didn't want to!"
Scary gets scarier once you consider that the laws of physics don't really apply to
him.
The shower scene goes down in my mind as the worst- specifically because it revealed the
absolute hopelessness in running or hiding- even if it looks safe.
Finally, Pennywise is evil.
What do I mean by that?
It gets pure enjoyment from terrorizing its victims.
Sure it could probably kill and eat our protagonists whenever it wanted.
So why does it opt to terrorize them so relentlessly?
Pennywise enjoys the taste of fear itself.
"BE AFRAID!"
"YOU ALL TASTE SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU'RE AFRAID!"
"I am ETERNAL, child."
"I am the EATER OF WORLDS, and of CHILDREN!"
Pennywise is scary because not only is he a clown with a particularly twisted visual
appearance but his jolly appearance is too far of an extreme in the wrong direction to
where it's unnatural and fishy.
The bright and colorful clown persona is just a front for something much more malevolent
and sinister, and unlike all the other clowns imitating him, Pennywise's appearance doesn't
give off the impression that he's trying hard to look scary- and it's that subtle
creepiness about him that goes the extra mile.
The idea of what his character really is, brings about the harsh and scary realization
that unlike with most clowns, perhaps logic doesn't apply here.
With a new adaptation of Stephen King's IT coming in late 2017, a new version of Pennywise
is on the horizon.
And so far, he looks very different- and while I love Tim Curry's version, to me, that's
a good thing.
Skarsgard's version looks like it might be more violent just because there's no blue
and it's completely red and yellow.
Tim Curry's Pennywise would probably appear more balanced in comparison.
But it's still too early to judge Bill Skarsgard's interpretation of the creepy clown, so for
now, we'll just have to trust what we've seen from the new 2017 IT Teaser Trailer.
And from what we've seen so far, I'm excited.
Are you?
What do you think of clowns?
Let me know in the comments below.

say hello.
And as always, thanks for watching!
What's one of your best memories about IT?
For me, it was this time that a friend and I walked past a DVD rack in a grocery store.
I pointed at Pennywise and ironically stated that I wanted that for my birthday.
Sure enough, I walked into English class later that year to find Pennywise's mug staring
back up at me from the seat of my desk.
It scared the crap out of me but it was the main reason why I saw the movie at all.

The Boy and the Ball and the Hole in the Wall (1965) | English subs | Ismael Rodríguez - Duration: 1:25:38.
The Boy and The Wall
A Mexican-Spanish Co-production
Exterior scenes filmed in the city of Berlin
"Since the early hours of that Sunday,"
"13th of August, 1961,"
Hi!
Wait.
"work continues without interruption"
"The old concrete barriers, and the barbed wire fences,"
"are substituted by slabs and cement,"
"Along the borders of all sectors,"
"and the East Berlin zone."
"This work is being carried under the supervision of the regular army,"
"and police, who hermetically seal the western part of the city,"
"where the wall has already been completed."
"Meanwhile, in the heart of Berlin,"
"In the streets that mark the border between West and East,"
"incidents are arising that require the involvement of public services."
"the homes that border the the sectors,"
"are demolished to widen no-man's land."
I'm coming!
"The wall, still allows some passage in the more remote sectors of the city."
"the wall has been going up, since August 13th, day by day,"
"Until it separates East Berlin, from West Berlin."
"This cordon separates it from the rest of East Germany."
"until it becomes an island."
"in the background of this panoramic shot,"
"you can discern the path of the wall."
She will come tomorrow, I promise.
Don't sell it, you won't forget?
Mom will buy it for me.
Yes, mom will buy it one of these days, you have told me many times already!
Say, too many people can see it there, why not put it in the back?
If you don't leave right now, I will sell it, understand?
Ok
Don't come back late.
I won't
Dieter?
Dieter?
Its that...I was quite bored, Mother.
Dieter?
Go wash your hands.
We keep on saving and...in four years we can buy a house.
Does it make you happy?
Lots.
What is wrong?
Nothing,
we both work,
we live in the oldest house in the neighborhood.
All is going very well.
Why must you talk like that?
All of your co-workers live better than we do!
Plenty of luxury,sure,cars,yes, but in a savings account, nothing!
Not one Mark!
One must save!
My co-workers will never own a home, I will.
That is the difference!
Money must be enjoyed in the present.
A house, in four years,
and why not a palace in one hundred?
it would be better, don't you agree?
You speak like a woman!
and you like a man!
Mom?
I washed them.
Wash them again.
But I washed them well!
May I go outside and play?
You have not had your pudding yet.
I...I don't feel like it today.
that...that was my piece.
To bed then?
Sure, now I am grounded.
but that was my piece!
We should go to bed as well.
May I help you?
No...
you rest.
I will wait.
I am done.
I am going to bed.
I am on my way.
tonite?
No.
What did you tell me yesterday?
I don't remember.
You said tomorrow.
I did?
You did.
I know what your problem is.
What is it?
You are scared.
Let go!
Don't look at that.
It's midnight.
You know,
I was dancing, all night long.
And what where you dancing?
Twist.
I passed the exam.
I am now a typist.
Great!
I am writing to your mother.
I still cannot believe that we are here,
and she is over there.
And we cannot return.
Karen,
this won't last.
"Private car park, only for tenants"
"Flats for sale"
the terrace is thirty three square metres.
completely fenced off,
Clean air and sunshine, all day.
Can one ask for more?
From here, and no where else, you will have the most marvelous views of Berlin.
Will you be purchasing outright?
Naturally.
Naturally!
But I have not yet saved that amount.
That is no problem,
you may purchase, with a down payment.
Purchase in installments?
Payments, interest, closing costs?
I wont have it, I do not purchase in installments.
I will return when I have the complete amount.
When?
If you can wait, four years.
"Dalman Furniture"
Very well, yes sir, I will send it to your home.
Thank you.
Can you give me the ball?
Can you give me the money?
Sure.
This won't do.
You are missing eleven Marks.
Can you discount them?
Sure you can.
That won't do.
If you discount them, I will give you half of this.
Look, if you like, I will give you all of it.
I can't chew.
The gum would get stuck, understand?
Good morning.
Good morning, Madame.
What toys do you have, for boys.
Well...Mecano, puzzles, a tricycle, lorries, breakdown lorries...
Hey you!
How do you do that?
and that ball!
How much is it?
Twelve Marks.
Very well, I will buy it.
Apologies, now I remember, the ball has been sold, I am sorry.
I will find something else.
I was sure he would have liked the ball.
Now I don't know what to buy him.
Hey you, this is for you, a gift!
Bye!
What are you looking out for?
The stork that will deliver my baby brother,
and it will come in trough the window.
It's coming from heaven.
Frida!
Frida, come here, your baby brother is here!
Come!
Here you go, Mr. Dalman.
Oh, thanks.
Mr Schmidt, why not buy the ball?
What ball?
That one.
Your wife has not picked it up.
My wife?
Yes, Dieter says she will buy it for him,
so I have not sold it.
How much is it?
Twelve Marks.
It's absurd, twelve Marks for a used ball?
Besides, it's not right for his age.
He does not feel the same.
He visits every day.
Oh, and you encourage him to purchase it, right?
What are you insinuating?
Besides, it is your trade, to make sales.
The lad and I are friends.
but he has been decieving me.
No one will buy him the ball, right?
And for what reason?
It is not his birthday, and it is not Christmass time.
There is no motive for it.
You are quite right, but, perhaps I feel diferently.
What would you expect, he gave me half a stick of gum today.
Mom?
One can go in trough a closed window, right?
What kind of a question, that is why you close them, so no one comes in.
Well, It happened, I swear it.
That just can't be,
if the window was closed, it can't be.
It came in at Frida's house, I saw it.
Who?
The stork that brought Frida's baby brother.
It came in trough the smoke stack.
It did not come in trough the smoke stack, it would not fit!
Well...it came in some other way, not trough the window.
You did well in school, rigth?
Here.
You lied and tried to buy something without my permission, understand?
Yes, may I play with it now?
Go on.
But come back soon for dinner.
Yes mom.
Why did you tell him that?
I get careless, and he will make me buy him a television.
In any case, thank you.
It was only twelve Marks.
Gunther?
I was thinking of the boy.
He is always alone.
And what can we do?
I too grew up alone, he will manage.
I want to have another child, Gunther.
What!
I said I want another child!
Nonsense!
As much as children cost!
It is not polite to eavesdrop on grownups.
Is it true, that children cost much?
Not that much.
but they do have a cost.
Go to sleep.
You have a want for no one, not even your son!
What foolishness is this!
He was not born according to your schedule, right?
You are getting things wrong.
I have never said I did not want my son.
What I said...
What you said, is that he should have been born five years later.
That way we would have saved more, and we would have our own house.
And what's wrong with that?
But what, what is wrong with you?
What do you want, to have ten children?
I think its a fine idea.
We will have them, sure, in due time.
Come to bed.
If we wait to have a child,
until you can give it everything it needs,
you will not be able to.
Mind what you say.
I am tired.
Tired of everything!
I tell you the boy is lonely,
and all you say is that he must learn that life is hard.
You may not care, but listen.
Your son does not love you.
he is scared of you.
You are quite distressed tonight, it will be best to talk tomorrow.
"In Memoriam"
"Worksite"
"You are leaving the American Sector"
Hey you, where are you going!
let me go, I have to get my ball back!
It fell over there!
Germans must cross trough the English sector, and you are German.
You let me trough, or I will get a rock and kill you!
Ok, kill me then, but you still cant cross, I will not let you, understand?
Come on, let me cross.
Tell me, where were you born?
If I tell you I can cross?
You will let me right?
Sure.
I was born over there.
You are from Berlin, so you cannot cross into Berlin.
Enough, get out of here already, you hear me, go!
I will find the biggest rock, the biggest one!
Dieter, where is he?
He is not here?
He did not go with you?
No!
How can you not know the whereabouts of your own son!
And you, do you know!
Dieter!
Where does he play?
I don't know!
Dieter!
Dieter!
What happened to you?
It rained...and...I put myself out to dry.
Are you cold?
No...
Can I borrow it?
What?
Your cap.
The men had a tarp exended, but he landed outside of it.
He jumped from the fourth floor.
From the fourth?
Poor lad!
Move aside please.
Hey!
Hey, you!
Come here!
I'm over here!
Come!
Hi!
Give me the ball!
What ball?
What ball? What ball! that one! Its mine!
No way.
This one is mine.
Yours? I lost it the other day, and you found it!
You lost my ball?
Yes, now give it to me, or I knock down this wall and punch you in the eye!
What's your name?
And what do you care, give it to me!
No.
You sow!
Bendy legs! Donkey nosed!Bendy legs!
Say!
Say...
I will trade you the ball, for a much better toy.
What is it?
It's Hans, a mouse that runs about, shakes its tail, and has red eyes!
I don't like mice, but let me see it.
Put out your hand.
Give me the ball, or I break your arm!
Give it to me!
Look, you don't have a donkey's nose.
I swear.
You do have bendy legs tough, but not that much.
Look, I will lend you my ball, until tomorrow.
Ok, you bite me then.
Why aren't you biting, bite me!
You lend me the ball until tomorrow?
If you don't wear it out, sure!
I won't
But don't tell my dad, he might kill me.
I will tell no one.
What is your name?
Dieter, and yours?
Martha.
But I am bigger than you.
Well then, I must be going, good bye.
I won't bite your arm again, I swear it!
Mom, can I ride with you?
sure.
You played a lot?
I did.
May I get a kiss, mommie?
Leave me alone, will you!
Smoke?
Can I visit you tonight?
What do you think?
I think yes.
I think not!
Martha, look at me, would you like me for a dad?
You see, she agrees.
So now you know it.
Tonight, a good goulash and four bottles of beer.
I will bring the rest.
You will give in.
You will give in!
Who will give in, mommie?
Nobody.
He wants to marry me.
Then, why did you burn him?
I don't know.
He might be right, that gorilla.
It's quite queer.
Why did he not ask us to buy him the ball?
He asked me.
He asked you?
Yes.
And why did you not buy it for him?
I guess because of you.
Because of me, what foolishness.
What would you have said coming home and seeing the ball?
Nothing, what was I to say?
What, you think I do not understand things?
You tell me, the boy wants a ball, and I say fine.
Why must you lie?
You know you would have cried out.
Well then, the boy is scared of me, you have told me,
and so are you, is it not so?
If you feel that way, why are you with me?
I am not scared of you, Gunther.
The only thing I want is... that you get close to him.
That you play with him.
But...you let me out afterwards, right?
If you win, I will.
Fine.
How many times must I tell you, you cannot make that move.
And you can, right?
Neither can I.
No, Dieter, no, not that way.
If you want to move the knight, you must move him here,
here, or here.
And you can't right, sure.
I can as well.
You put that there, and I said nothing.
In that case, check mate!
It will be best for us to play something else.
Go on. bring over the football.
The ball?
Look, I will give it back to you, see.
And now, since I won, may I go?
Go on.
You can't say I did not try.
Gum?
Where have you been?
At...a dance.
Dad...
I don't know.
Maybe...the fault is not entirely your own.
Your mother is not here.
Are you going to marry him?
The truth.
You love him?
No...
Then...why?
You are seventeen.
When we got married, your mother was twenty three.
And she had kept herself for me.
Go on...
Hans says...cross your eyes.
Hans says...stick out your tongue.
Hans says...look ugly.
No, not like that.
Hans says you should look uglier.
At the count of one,
two,
three!
You like it?
It's not bad.
Say, if I bring you money, will you buy me a ball like yours?
Sure.
How much are they?
Twelve Marks, do you have them?
I do.
Now it's your turn.
Hans says that...I stick this straw in your ear.
No way!
Hans says I must.
It't that I am quite tickleish.
Hans says for me to stick this straw in your ear.
Fine!
Halt!
Halt!
You allowed him to escape.
Hey!
I am here!
What a racket!
What's wrong?
What happens if a sentry from over there, let's someone escape?
That lot?
That lot let no one escape.
They execute them.
But if one would?
Lifetime inprisonment.
Can we go over to my house?
Would you like to spend with me, the entire night?
Yes.
Did I startle you?
No, did I startle you?
You did.
You know, I rode on the tractor with my mom.
On a tractor?
Yes, and she let me put my hand on the steering wheel.
Do they let you do that?
Me? my dad takes me on the car, he buys me christmass trees,
he buys me ducks, cats, and mice.
And if I ask for money, he gives it to me.
How about that.
And everyday he goes to the movies, and takes me along.
And you are never alone?
Never.
And you are?
I am, almost always.
At night?
At night? no.
No, not at night, I sleep in her bed, and it gets so stuffy.
And she tells you bedtime stories?
Lots of them.
Do you know the one about Red Riding Hood?
I do.
And the Dwarf and the three hairs of the devil?
I do.
If you want to be my friend, you must make a promise.
What kind of promise?
Promise!
I swear I will be Martha's friend forever.
I swear to be Dieter's friend forever.
I swear I will come to the hole, everyday.
I swear...and what if I am grounded?
Then you don't come, but swear anyway.
I swear it!
And I swear it even more!
and I swear it too.
and now we are friends of friends.
We are, lots and lots.
And the ball? did you wear it out a lot?
No, look.
Here, so you can buy me one.
Ok then.
Throw it back, so yours can be the same.
Here you go!
You wait right here, right?
I will.
I swear that Frida is uglier than you are.
I will buy from you another ball, like this one.
it will not be easy.
It's that...its for my girlfriend!
But, if you have money, tomorrow I can.
You can't today?
It is too late today.
I told her today!
Here, take this.
Who gave you this money?
She did.
Who is she?
Martha
Go get her, and she will get her ball.
She won't fit trought the h....
Besides, she is sick, she ate too many figs.
Where is she?
Tell me, does she not want that ball?
You swear you won't tell my dad?
And why must I swear!
Because I will not tell you if you don't?
Swear it!
Ok then, I swear it.
Martha lives on the other side of the wall.
Mr. Gunther Schmidt?
One moment, please.
Listen to me well,
The barbed wire must pass trough here,
and we must reinforce this section of the wall.
Thanks.
What is the matter.
He made him swear he would tell me nothing.
He made him swear it.
Swear what?
You are right, my son does not love me.
He is afraid of me.
Martha!
Dieter!
Martha!
Martha!
Martha!
Martha!
Dieter!
I am here!
I am here!
I am here!
I will give you my ball!
Tomorrow we will open another hole,
I promise!

The Calling Part 2 (Fiction Narration) - Duration: 6:09.
The sirens are still a bit away, and it will take them a bit to navigate through the traffic.
I can only hope the helicopter pilot isn�t sure which house is mine.
As quickly as I can I put on a hoodie to hide the Words, grab my credits chip, and shove
a few changes of clothes into a backpack. I�m breathing shallowly, mind spinning with
fear so potent it makes me sick to my stomach. I pull the bag onto my back and take the stairs
two at a time. I�m surprised to see my parents waiting for me at the bottom of the steps.
One look at them tells me they know. Mom hugs me tight, and then moves aside so
my dad can, too. He slips his credits chip into my hand and then side glances at mom.
This is our secret. �This is who you�re meant to be,� dad
says. �There are no mistakes in the Callling.� [You have two minutes to vacate your street.]
We all three look at my watch from which the smooth voice just sounded. It takes a moment
for the words to hit us, and then my mom is shoving me out the door.
�Go. We love you, and no matter what, we�re proud of you.�
I�m running as fast as possible in the next moment.
Outside the helicopter sounds closer and, yes, there it is over the tops of the trees.
I slow to a brisk walk, not wanting to draw attention to myself. My heart pounds in my
ears having little to do with the fact that I just ran more in the last thirty seconds
than I have my entire life. Police cars fly past me going to my house
and I have a moment of elation. I�m getting away with this. I�m actually evading TelGov.
A second later there is a boom that pops my ears and makes the ground shake. A cloud of
smoke and flame raises from my house. I�m too shocked to scream, I�m too afraid
to move, and I think that I will spend the rest of my life rooted to that spot.
My parents. Gods, my parents. I don�t know how long I�m standing there
until a black car pulls up beside me and rolls down the window. A girl with dark skin and
wildly curly hair leans over the passenger seat.
�Get in, Leader.� It�s that word that jars me awake and I
realize that I�ve been crying. My face is wet and my chest is empty.
�What?� �I said get in. Hurry up.� She sits up
and unlocks the door. If I had had any sense I wouldn�t have gotten
in, but if you had just seen your childhood house and your parents murdered by the government,
you wouldn�t really be thinking straight either.
We ride in silence. She has a scar on her right cheekbone and an outdated watch on her
wrist. I look at mine and tap the screen. I see the old missed call from my dad and
I quickly look away, eyes burning. �So,� she says after we�ve been driving
for about ten minutes. I don�t look up. �Seems like it�s been a long day for you.�
I laugh. �Something like that. Where are we going? And who are you?�
�Don�t ask questions. I�m not the person to explain anything, you�ll have to talk
to Bones.� I think of something sarcastic to say and
come up with nothing, so I say just that and look out the window.
�Sorry about your parents,� she says another five minutes later.
�Thanks. I don�t really want to talk about it.�
�Fair enough.� I�m getting tired of riding a good hour
later when we pull into a parking garage on the side of town that�s been abandoned for
years. I start to get anxious and think about telling her to let me out.
Then I notice the people sitting around in front of tents, watching the car slowly make
its way to the top floor. They look curious, some look bored, others look nervous. I even
recognize a few, kids from school who had disappeared, a neighbor from down the street.
�What is this?� I ask, even though I feel stupid immediately because I know what this
is. This is the Rebellion, or at least part of
it, and I feel queasy. I�m supposed to lead these people?
The girl, of course, doesn�t answer my question, and we�re on the top floor in the sunlight
when she shuts the car off. �Come on, I�ll take you to Bones, then
you can ask questions to your heart�s content.� She gets out and I fumble with the car door
to follow her. The top floor of the garage is laid out with
stalls selling things on one side and a large tent on the other with tables and chairs.
There�s a smaller tent off to the side that she takes me to and as soon as she pulls back
the curtain I feel my stomach drop. My best friend stands slowly.
�Now before you flip shit,� he begins, and he doesn�t have a chance to tell me
what I shouldn�t flip shit about before I�ve punched him as hard as I can.
And then, ever the lion hearted, I pass out. Do YOU have an EPIC story or experience?!

Pennywise The Dancing Clown - Why is IT Scary? | Darkology #14 - Duration: 9:28.When you think of clown, the very first image that comes to mind is Loonette from The Big
Comfy Couch.
"Wrong"
Just kidding.
It's THIS guy.
Even when you search up "nice clown", he's the very first image, trolling anyone
with coulrophobia.
With the recent wave of interest in clowns, including 2016's creepy clown sightings,
I thought it was time to dust off the old clown topic.
The new teaser trailer for the upcoming adaptation of IT is hitting us hard.
Let's just roll that a few more times.
Clowns have become synonymous with the phrase "will murder you".
They get a bad rap but it's hard to blame people.
Even when they're nice, they're terrifying.
Fresh from the uncanny valley, they almost exclusively now appear as menacing creatures
in film and pop culture.
Even Disney acknowledges this in a scene from the animated film, Inside Out.
And the king of clowns- well he's been at the top since his film debut in the 90s.
By many, he's widely considered to be the scariest clown in history.
You don't even need to know his backstory- his appearance alone frightens enough people
to make him so widely popular.
So just what is it exactly about Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the idea and the character,
that makes him so potently horrifying?
Today we'll find out on this episode of Darkology.
"My name is Pennywise The Dancing Clown"
"See you in your dreams!"
Coulrophobia as you may already know, is the irrational fear of clowns- coulro in Greek
meaning "the one who walks on stilts".
According to Rami Nader, a psychologist and director of the North Shore Stress and Anxiety
Clinic in North Vancouver, B.C., the psychological roots of the phobia may be traced to the fact
that clowns are basically wearing disguises (albeit funny ones) while displaying artificial
emotions (even silly ones) that perhaps hide their true feelings.
A study in England surveyed 250 youth patients at a hospital on their opinion of clowns.
The result?
All 250 reported that they generally disliked clowns.
It was unanimous.
But interestingly enough, coulrophobia doesn't appear as a mental disorder in the DSM-5,
the official psychological handbook of mental disorders- which indicates that there isn't
really an official or effective way for treating this fear.
The "evil clown" archetype was solidified by the 1980s, as a result of the influence
from real life serial killer John Wayne Gacy, as well as fictional characters that popularized
the idea like The Joker and most notably, Stephen King's novel, IT.
While older generations may remember clowns as party entertainers, the current generation
of youth really only know clowns as evil and creepy.
Hell, I remember seeing clowns at birthday parties as a kid and I wasn't too particularly
fond of them myself.
Some of you might remember the time of Blockbuster, where you could run down to a video store
and pick and rent a tape to watch at home.
These stores always sectioned their selections based on genre, and as a kid, I remember being
extra cautious around the horror section, for fear of setting my eyes upon the image
of a certain nightmarish clown that appeared on a movie cover which had two big red letters
that simply read "IT".
But for me, this fear of clowns eventually evolved into a morbid fascination that I think
applies to many of you out there as well.
So let's take a deeper look at Tim Curry's portrayal of Pennywise the Dancing Clown-
the image and behavior as well as how people respond to him.
Here are four pictures of clowns.
Be honest, which one caught your attention first?
Was it possibly one of the ones in red?
There's a point to this I promise.
Pennywise's bright red lips accentuate his malicious smile.
If we look at the psychological properties of colours, red happens to be the most powerful.
It appears to be nearer than it is, and thus grabs our attention first, evoking a powerful
sense of fight or flight.
This is why the most important traffic lights are red.
It is stimulating and lively, very friendly.
And at the same time, can be perceived as demanding and aggressive.
Pennywise the Dancing Clown has a spherical elongated head, which makes him look almost
human, but at the same time, very much not.
In fact, it's this gap in the theorized "uncanny valley" concept.
He's realistic enough, but also so clearly not human that it's dead-on creepy.
In our first glimpse at Pennywise in the film, the girl is initially happy to see a clown
in her front yard, but then we see the gradual change in her expression as the absence of
a party and the ghastly look on his face begins to finally sink in.
For clowns in general, the pale makeup makes them appear extremely ghostly.
And in combination with his abnormally long forehead, Pennywise's glaring white makeup
highlights his entire head, like a sun, directing your eyes straight to his face.
And what about hair?
Ronald McDonald has bright red hair, but it's in natural locks that scream shampoo and conditioner.
Pennywise's hair is fried and juts out in all directions, giving him a disheveled look,
as well as pointing more line emphasis, like rays from the sun, towards his face.
From his nose, to his lips, to his big and wild hair, Pennywise's head immediately
grabs your unconscious attention.
Above his eyes, are two blue triangles that accentuate his eyelids.
Where red is a physical color, blue is an intellectual one.
While blue may evoke a sense of intelligence and calmness, it is also indicative of unfriendliness-
a primary reason why it's a rare color to see on a clown who isn't wearing it ironically.
Speaking of his eyes, have you noticed that they're usually always bloodshot?
This makes him look wild and manic- brimming with deranged excitement and energy.
If you saw someone with this appearance in any setting other than at a party, there's
probably something very wrong.
Say for example, a sewer.
Throughout the scene, we can clearly see that even someone as young and naive as Georgie
begins to grow suspicious.
This is what we can infer from his image alone.
Now with context into the character- well, that's a different story.
Pennywise is a shapeshifter, mind-controller, and teleporter.
It's ominous to think that the blood he leaves behind can't be normally seen by
others.
That he might disguise himself as your loved ones, even when they're dead, and if that
wasn't enough, also read your mind and take on the form of your worst fear.
"RAAAAAHH!!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Stan!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"You saw it too."
"I didn't want to!"
Scary gets scarier once you consider that the laws of physics don't really apply to
him.
The shower scene goes down in my mind as the worst- specifically because it revealed the
absolute hopelessness in running or hiding- even if it looks safe.
Finally, Pennywise is evil.
What do I mean by that?
It gets pure enjoyment from terrorizing its victims.
Sure it could probably kill and eat our protagonists whenever it wanted.
So why does it opt to terrorize them so relentlessly?
Pennywise enjoys the taste of fear itself.
"BE AFRAID!"
"YOU ALL TASTE SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU'RE AFRAID!"
"I am ETERNAL, child."
"I am the EATER OF WORLDS, and of CHILDREN!"
Pennywise is scary because not only is he a clown with a particularly twisted visual
appearance but his jolly appearance is too far of an extreme in the wrong direction to
where it's unnatural and fishy.
The bright and colorful clown persona is just a front for something much more malevolent
and sinister, and unlike all the other clowns imitating him, Pennywise's appearance doesn't
give off the impression that he's trying hard to look scary- and it's that subtle
creepiness about him that goes the extra mile.
The idea of what his character really is, brings about the harsh and scary realization
that unlike with most clowns, perhaps logic doesn't apply here.
With a new adaptation of Stephen King's IT coming in late 2017, a new version of Pennywise
is on the horizon.
And so far, he looks very different- and while I love Tim Curry's version, to me, that's
a good thing.
Skarsgard's version looks like it might be more violent just because there's no blue
and it's completely red and yellow.
Tim Curry's Pennywise would probably appear more balanced in comparison.
But it's still too early to judge Bill Skarsgard's interpretation of the creepy clown, so for
now, we'll just have to trust what we've seen from the new 2017 IT Teaser Trailer.
And from what we've seen so far, I'm excited.

What's one of your best memories about IT?
For me, it was this time that a friend and I walked past a DVD rack in a grocery store.
I pointed at Pennywise and ironically stated that I wanted that for my birthday.
Sure enough, I walked into English class later that year to find Pennywise's mug staring
back up at me from the seat of my desk.
It scared the crap out of me but it was the main reason why I saw the movie at all.
