I think that part of the creepiness is due to the fact that you don't know who is behind the greasepaint? Sometimes a childhood incident can really ruin it a person?

When I was a kid we went to the VFW Christmas party and the Santa was past the point of being 'drunk'. To this day, I can't stand to be around a 'santa' w/o remembering the smell of alcohol on the guy's breath....As a grown up, I should be past that thought, but it was too creepy - there I was giving my toy request to a guy who probably slept thru Christmas!!!
