In the early 1990s, a man dressed as a clown began to terrorize a small town in Florida. The clown would show up at children's birthday parties, holding balloons and offering candy. But when the children got close, the clown would pull out a knife and stab them. The clown became known as the "Killer Clown," and parents in the town were afraid to let their children out of their sight.
After months of searching, police finally caught the Killer Clown. It turned out that he was a local man who had a history of violent behavior. He had dressed up as the clown to avoid detection, and had been terrorizing the town for over a year. The community was shocked and traumatized by the Killer Clown's actions, and many parents still refuse to let their children attend birthday parties with clowns.
