Could Dressing in a Scary Clown Costume for Halloween Make You A Target? [VIDEO]

We have all heard the stories circulating over the last year or so of sightings of an adult walking around neighborhoods and city streets in a scary clown costume, causing fear for many residents. So, could this Halloween make people more on edge seeing someone dressed like this?

Obviously on Halloween and even days leading up to it you see people everywhere in all types of costumes and don't think anything of it, but the creepy clown stories have made many people cautious, especially regarding their children.

With the internet rumor mill running rampant sometimes many of these stories could be just rumors with stolen photos used to hype up the story. But, in all seriousness given that a few sick people out there may take advantage of this, or some may try to prank people, you may want to think about a different costume choice this year instead of a scary clown, just to be safe.
