Killer Clown Fired for Being ‘Too Scary’A circus clown whose main role was to frighten patrons has now been fired for being too scary, according to Doug Child, who played Rellik the Psycho Clown at the Circus of Horrors in London for over two years. He was recently told by his bosses that he has to tone it down, create a new character or leave the job entirely. Is this a sign the clown fears have gone too far? Circus of Horrors creator Dr. Haze said: "Our philosophy has always been that people like to be scared and not be harmed but with last year's Killer Klown outbreak people began to fear that they would be harmed." The killer clown outbreak is the period over the last couple years, both in the UK and the US where clowns have been spotted doing very bad things, like macing people or just staring menacingly. It's happened enough that people are scared. Now, with Stephen King's "It," the story of a killer clown who terrorizes children, making bank at the box office, it's gotten even worse. So is it bye-bye Rellik? Only time will tell, but as of now, his job is set to end on Nov. 1. Does this seem fair?
