Ella Rena
Ballerina
Pachyderm Divine!
Come take a chance
And watch her dance
But make sure
You read the sign!
“Front Row Seats Available!”

Let’s face it… clowns can be scary!

I’ll bet I’m not the only one that found this scene scary in The Wizard of Oz! The book and the movie were both frightening and delightful, which makes it such a great memory for so many people!

So you thought that all the Halloween candy and those plastic goblins that scream just as your three year shouts “trick or treat” came from the store? Oh no my friends, these fine ladies are in the business of conjuring up a darn spooky atmosphere!
“Fillet of a marsh snake, In the cauldron boil and bake:
Eye of newt and toes of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind worm’s sting, Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”
“Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble!”
