Avoiding Supernatural

[caliente_uk]

I have episode 2 of S2 downloaded on my laptop, but I'm avoiding watching it. Why, you might ask? Well...it has CLOWNS in it! *shudders* I have a comletely irrational, but very real, fear of clowns. I'm not sure where the fear comes from, but I've been terrified of them since I was a child. Every time I go to put the ep on, I feel sick at the thought. So what am I going to do? I love Supernatural and I want to watch it, but I know it's going to scare me half to death! And watching it on my laptop is going to be even worse than watching it on TV, because I'll be completely alone! *shudders again at the thought*

How ridiculous is that?

I've seen a few comments on my f-list from others who haven't watched it because of the clown element. But you'll be missing some wonerful scenes regarding character progession if you miss it.

I think someone has actually done a dowload of the ep with the majority scenes involving the clown removed for those who can't or won't watch it :)

I'm just amazed at the vast numbers of people on my flist who have clown phobia. And yeah, if you are disturbed by clowns you probably don't want to watch this episode. And therefore, here's a quote about the episode from paratti which is, IMO, the most important thing in that episode anyway :
It also built on last week's final whisper in that scene and the whole episode in such a way that if I wasn't convinced part way into S1 that Sam's the Demon's, I'm bloody certain of it now.

Just as I'm certain that Dean's not ok with it. That beating the hell out of the poor Impala was all about him not being ok with the burden of his father's knowledge way more than it was about him being dead. It's why it had to be the Impala. Dad gave him that, along with the training and the know how on hunting. The Impala's the only tangible thing he can take the pain of that final thing Dad gave him on. He could have taken it out on Sam, but Dean's a hero and stayed that way by beating an inanimate object that he can fix - and Dean will fix it and get it working; that's What Dean Does - not the (half) brother that loves him. Great way to give the character a moment of catharsis without doing irretrievable damage to him. Kudos to the writers.

It isn't ridiculous at all, I watched it and now I want to take my computer hard drive, bury it on consecrated ground and salt the earth where it lies.

Clowns. Shudder.

Omg let me tell you are NOT being irrational. I watched it and it scared the pants off of me. It was good though and in the end you see who was the clown but believe me it still scared me. I'm shuddering as we speak!!

Ridiculous? Nah, I'm in the same boat. I love Tim Curry but ever since seeing It when I was eight, I associate Clowns with creepiness and badness. Example: Parvati's Jack-in-the-box clown in GoF was a wtf moment, seriously it was scarier than the snake! I have even given Ronald McDonald weary looks too, lol.
