The Nightmares – no clowning around when it comes to fear!
Fears come in many shapes and sizes. While most are rooted in very real threats and traumas, some derive from rather unique sources. What one might normally find harmless may cause another extreme anxiety.
Coulrophobia – an irrational fear of clowns – plagues many adults, and typically stems from children’s strong reactions to a familiar body shape with an unfamiliar face. While clowns are designed primarily to entertain and humor us, they somehow manage to rattle us in unexpected ways. It’s easy to become unhinged when it’s difficult to know what really lurks beneath the red rubber nose and painted on smile…
The clowns you’ll find within Netherworld Haunted House’s The Nightmares are far from the “crying on the inside” kind. Maniacal, mad, and menacing, they feed off the fear of mortals. Leering smiles frame deadly teeth, ever ready to gorge themselves on the fright that manifests itself when the haunt is full of visitors. A virtual smorgasbord of terror, The Nightmares transforms into an all-you-can-eat buffet for these giggling ghouls, and they can never seem to satisfy their appalling appetites.
Fear is nothing to laugh about, but for the Netherworld clowns it is a constant source of amusement. Nothing elicits laughter among these fiends quite like the screams and shrieks of scared humans, especially those suffering from coulrophobia – the greater the fear, the sweeter the taste. When you witness the tears of a clown inside The Nightmares, they are most likely tears of joy, as they savor every bite!
