With just a few weeks before Halloween, retailers are pulling clown masks from their shelves and online inventory amid the scary clown craze sweeping the world.

You won't be able to find any clown masks at Target's physical store, but some are still available online.

A representation from the retailer said there's no data of an increase or decrease of clown mask sales since reports of clown sightings began.
