Vous avez PEUR?? C'est vendredi, le trente et un octobre!



The act of dressing up as an evil clown and terrifying passers-by, a phenomenon previously seen in the United States and Britain, cropped up in northern France in early October. Complaints have since poured in over 'armed clowns' wreaking havoc in various parts of the country, with some of them armed with baseball bats, knives or firearms. French police have detained several suspects. | CC-BY-SA-3.0 / IGGY35
