Cave paintings recently discovered in Lascaux depicting a Clown Hunt
Clowns. Clowny clown clowns. Man has feared clowns since the dawn of time. Whether we're pitting them against our super heroes, or turning them into sewer-dwelling giant spiders, man has looked to clowns as inspiration for dredging up our darkest fears.
But clowns are funny, you say? Clowns are harmless. Well then, riddle me this: whenever you think of circus clowns, what song instantly plays in your head. It goes something like this "Do do doodle-oo do do do do do...", right? Do you know what that song is called?
Entry of the Gladitors by Julius Fucik, a Czech military orchestra composer.
The clowns are mounting an army. On Bozo's command, unleash Hell.
