Halloween is right around the corner and people are getting prepared by stocking up on candy and buying their costumes.

And like it or not, people are going to dress up as creepy clowns. Brad Butler from Halloween Express says, "Clown mask sales are up more than 300% from a year ago.”

Creepy clowns have dominated the news headlines over the last week. Yesterday we reported about threats being made against Rochester on a Facebook page titled 'Kroacky Klown.' Law enforcement was able to track down the person behind that account, a 15-year-old girl, and charges will be filed. A 12-year-old in New Jersey was also arrested yesterday for posting a clown picture on Instagram with a threat against her school.

So will you be opening the door when a creepy clown comes trick or treating?!?
