I can't honestly say I've ever had nightmares about any movie, no matter how creepy. For some reason I never dream about my real life, unless there's something that's become an obsession (Wheel of Time novels a few years ago, for instance). The closest I ever came was with the Grudge, which truly freaked me out. I kept thinking I saw the ghost crawling around the corner and out of my bathroom while half-asleep--you know, the version that was crawling down the stairs in the trailer.

Yeah. And also, I think, the fact that circuses used to be where people went to see freak shows and conjurors and cow fetuses in jars labelled as aliens (like in Firefly!) and other strange things that were supposed to scare you in a way. A safe sense of danger you'd pay for, like rollercoasters of today, I guess. So maybe the music's always had that creepy feel to people. Or do you think it's just now, after all the horror movies about deranged clowns and deserted haunted fairgrounds and things that have come about in the past hundred years?

I think it's creepy because way too may TV shows in the '70s would always juxtapose the circus with some psychotic killer dressed as a clown holding some poor child hostage.
