Does anybody actually love clowns?

Last night's new Supernatural episode found our hunky heroes Sam & Dean grappling with a demented clown, and coming to terms with their father's mysterious death. The scene where the little girl looks out of her bedroom window and sees the forlorn clown staring up at her from the dark shadows of the moonlit garden sent chills down my spine and brought me out in goosebumps. I hope never to come face to face with a clown, vengeful or not, again. And believe me, I've known some clowns in my life.
