The good clown name continues its tragic decline into ruination this week, with a mysterious Alabama group of so-called 'Flomo Klowns' forcing two schools on total lockdown Thursday morning.

After a series of threatening posts on the “Flomo Clown” Facebook page, authorities in the Alabama town took two juveniles and one adult into custody on Thursday in connection with the incident.

Clown mask sales are up 300 percent from 2015, Brad Butler of the costume store Halloween Express told Eye Opener TV. Normally half of the best-selling masks are "evil," he said.

First they just stood there, hoping to creep people out as a joke. Then at least one tried to lure kids into the woods. Then came bomb threats to a school. Then an alleged shooting.
