In today's episode, (part 1 of 2) Eric Flynn takes a deep dive into the strange and fascinating history of clowns — from joyful jesters and circus entertainers to the terrifying figures of modern horror. He explores the evolution of clowns across cultures and centuries, tracing their roots in ancient performances, medieval courts, and the golden age of circuses, before diving into the rise of the creepy clown in pop culture and horror. Why did clowns go from funny to frightening? What do they say about society? As well as making content, Eric also writes books.
