My favorite part of Seaosn 2 was Bob Newby trying to relate to Wills trauma with Mr. Baldo
Okay, listen to me.
So Bob said that this terrifying clown scared the shit out of him once many years ago (by offering him a balloon, no less). Enough to make him have tons of nightmares he wouldn’t get over until he faced his fear.
It’s safe to admit this probably happened when he was very young, and, since the show is set in the 80s, I’m guess his encounter with the clown happened around the 50s.
Then he mentions his parents having a house in Maine.
What kind of event in Maine (let’s say he spent the Summer there and not in Hawkins) in the 50s could have caused such a trauma?
Oh. Right.
IM GLAD SOMEONE ELSE THOUGHT THIS TOO
I WAS FREAKING OUT!!!! Also, he defeated him by not being afraid of him anymore??!! I mean!
