Milwaukee's "Clown Hall of Fame" to declare the first Bozo


Vance 'Pinto' Colvig portrays Bozo the Clown in this undated file photo. For years Larry Harmon claimed to have created the character, and said he was the original. Now the International Clown Hall of Fame in downtown Milwaukee is formally endorsing a different version: Capitol Records executive Alan Livingston created Bozo for recordings in 1946, and the late Colvig was the first person to play the clown. On Friday, May 28, 2004, the hall is posthumously inducting Colvig as the first Bozo. (AP Photo/Photo courtesy International Clown Hall of Fame)

7. My son was scared to death of clowns when he was small.
They always made him cry.

Remember John Wayne Gacy in his clown makeup? Ewwwww.

Yep, clowns are kind of scary.
