READING, Ohio – Creepy clowns continue to close down schools across the country.

Hours after Colerain Township police in Ohio arrested a junior high student for making clown-related threats online, a woman reported that a creepy clown grabbed her by her throat on her porch and threatened local students, WCPO reports.

The woman, who had recently undergone neck surgery, told police she was smoking on her porch around 4 a.m. Friday when a man dressed in a striped get-up with a red wig and white clown nose grabbed her by the throat and delivered a message.

The clown allegedly told the woman “I should just kill you now” and that “students and teachers (will) wish they were never born at the junior and high school today,” according to the news site . MORE

  1. Uuuugh a guy can put on a dress and follow a little girl into a public restroom and we’re not allowed to. Judge him. Put on a little bit of face paint and a red wig and everybody freaks out. Calling homeland security and the FBI

  2. Don’t you love farce?
    My fault, I fear.
    I thought that you’d want what I want…

  3. What is it about clowns? About 15 years ago, at a software company I worked at, us artists would gather round the computer and laugh at 3 websites. One was Homestar Runner, the other one was a 40+ year old guy who dressed up as Peter Pan and the last one…3D illustrations of Creepy Clown. Dark basic 3D renderings of poolside, front doors, barns and in the corner somewhere cloaked in darkness…Kreepy Clown.

    Maybe these jokers found that site archived on AOL or MySpace. Losers.

  4. @Thirdtwin,
    I think it started there too! Clowns use to be funny.

    Now theyare depicted as scary, or as Cato notes, drunks like Shakes the Clown who beat up mimes (the movie was about addiction).
