Evil Clown Contest Round Two

[weetlebeetle]

Everyone say hi to Zeebo

[mixedbagofships]

Are You Afraid of the Dark? monsters that I find more frightening than Vecna because sometimes you never get over the things you see in your childhood:

Badge 

The Ghastly Grinner

The Creature of Darkness (Quicksilver)

Nosferatu (usually I’m not afraid of vampires, but this one I am)

The Corpse (Dead Man’s Float)

The Fire Ghost (I’m deathly afraid of fire, so this guy is not fun)

I literally have no fear of clowns, so none are on the list. If you need someone to face Zeebo for you, I will. Plus I would never steal his nose in the first place. That’s just asking for trouble.

Also, special recognition goes out to the Twisted Claw for being the creepiest object.

… *sigh* … sorry about that clown.

… *he takes Zeebo off of Clown (awww… bye clowny :()* …

… thanks for… not killing him.

— Carbine

>>He looks like a frightened cat.

Yeah. Just. Keep him away from me.

[silhouette-anon]

Yelena picks up Zeebo and leaves, telling the young child that the adults need to talk and that none of this is his fault. She’s…very good with kids.

>>Everything here is a mess, oh my god,

>>Clown. You are going back to Dialtone's and you are going to stay there, and I am going to tell him that you tried to kill people again, so good luck with that.

WHA

HE'S GONNA BE MAD

>>WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, CLOWN.

Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

Episode 2 - The Tale Of Laughing In The Dark (1992)

[ayaotd500wordsorless]

Are You Afraid of the Dark in 500 Words Or Less: Season 1 | Episode 2 The Tale of the Laughing in the Dark

Instead of us starting at the campfire, we start with a story already in progress. When Betty Ann – this week’s storyteller – mentions clowns, Kristen freaks out and starts to leave. After being mocked by the rest of the gang, Kristen decides to stay in order to prove she’s not a chicken shit. Now we can start the story!

The Tale of the Laughing in the Dark is not only one of the clunkiest story titles we get over the course of the series, it’s one of the most iconic episodes of the show. We are introduced to an amusement park called Playland and our protagonist Josh. Josh is a redhead therefore by Are You Afraid of the Dark rules he is coded as an awful, awful human. This series is chocked full of horrible red headed kids so buckle up kiddies! Other characters include Weegee (yes you read that correctly) who for some reason is friends with Josh despite Josh being an absolute dick to him 24/7 and Weegee’s sister Kathy. Both Weegee and Kathy are too afraid to go in Playland’s haunted house “Laughing in the Dark” which earns them a teasing from Josh.  

The very next day, Kathy informs both Josh and Weegee that “Laughing in the Dark” is haunted by a cigar-smoking clown named Zeebo who stole money from Playland and was chased into the haunted house attraction by the police. What happens next is absolutely bonkers. Apparently Zeebo’s cigar ends up sets the place on fire and Zeebo gets trapped inside. Josh mocks Kathy which leads Weegee to dare Josh to go inside “Laughing in the Dark”. Josh accepts the dare and even says he will steal Zeebo’s nose which Weegee will have to wear at school for a week should he prove successful.

The kids head back to Playland and Josh enters “Laughing in the Dark”. He reaches the final room, finds the door Zeebo is behind and takes the clown’s nose. Bad move, Josh – bad move. Immediately after taking Zeebo’s nose, the clown begins to haunt Josh at his home by turning his spaghetti into cigars, placing a clown shoe-sized footprint in his pudding and blowing up balloons underneath his bedroom door. A rightfully freaked out Josh runs back to Playland, after hours I might add, and not only returns Zeebo’s nose but gives him an offering of Cuba’s finest cigars. Now hold on just a second here – how does a pre-teen boy get a box of cigars in 1992? Did he take them from his dad? Did he steal them? We never found out. What we do know is that Zeebo is pleased with the gift and decides to stop haunting Josh. End of story.  

Betty Ann ends her first story of the series and as the members start to leave, Eric scares Kristen by putting on a clown mask. Much like Josh, Eric is such a douche-nozzle. At least we never have to see Josh again – we’re stuck with Eric.
