DragonKing Dark: Creepy clown hysteria
On this week’s DragonKing Dark, host Karl Stern takes a look at this generation’s mass hysteria that probably isn’t really happening.
In the 1980s, Geraldo Rivera convinced a nation that Satanists were kidnapping our children and offering them up in ritual sacrifice. In 2016, social media and mainstream newspapers, with the power of the internet behind them, are trying to convince us that creepy clowns are after our children.
History is repeating itself right before our eyes, but there is no need for alarm, neither Lucifer nor Bozo are after your children.
Karl Stern is a pro wrestling historian specializing in the 1980s and pioneer era (pre-1900) of pro wrestling. He is an author who has written several books on wrestling and independently runs the When It Was Cool retro pop culture website.
