SCARY CLOWNS...Why were these made? Abandoned amusement park
« on: December 03, 2007, 11:09:29 AM »
Just had to share these. Carved clowns on rides at the abandoned Whalom Park in MA.

What did these do to the psyches of little kids that were eye-level with them under flashing amusement-park lights? O_o

My wife doesn't like clowns, probably for reasons very similar to the pictures. Then you have Stephen King's, "IT".

What a great looking place to check out to bad I am on the other side of the country.  Kind of like a ghost town for amusement.  I like the top picture front cab clown with pink bow to the left.  He would be my vote for horror film mascot.

I don't like clowns either. I'm not afraid of them. I just dislike them.

What a great looking place for a low budget slasher film.  Clowns are creepy.  All of them.

Yeah, a movie where a bunch of gunnies like us are forced to defend ourselves and our families against evil monster clowns.  The only problem is, it would only be about five minutes long given the gun nuts on this board.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Whalom Park is closed?  No more "whale" of a time?  When did that happen?

They demolished a good bit of it already, the 19th century roller coaster and all, to build condos.

Yeah, they did the same to Ocean View Amusement Park in Norfolk, Va. It wasn't a GREAT park, but it was a place to go have some fun (besides drinking). They did make a movie of it as it was demolished. I watched it being destroyed on the local news in Norfolk. Took a bulldozer PLUS explosives to bring down the roller coaster.

This guy is a NJ legend from asbury park. This is/was a huge painting on the side of an amusement hall. They saved him by cutting out a huge section of the cement wall before tearing the buildings down. All so they can build condos. Almost forgot his name is Tilly

Seems these days, it has become fashionable to hate clowns. I guess it took the pressure off the rock band "Queen".

I could see it now.

"clearly, .45s are better because they blow bigger holes in the evil clowns!"

"Sure, it's bigger holes, but I can shoot more evil clowns."

"Oh yea? I have a Barret light .50 and only 10 rounds.  Now, let's get those clowns to line up.... "



Seriously, kinda cool looking place there... wonder if the rides would function with power applied?
