Pennywise copycats from Stephen King's book/movie 'It' are popping out of sewers all over America.
Derry, Maine: That’s where this story begins and that’s where it will end. Stephen King’s popular epic It, set in the fictional town New England town, has been adapted once again and took the domestic box office by storm, grossing more than any horror film ever. The reason for that? Pennywise, the film’s titular (“It”), child-eating alien joker, is the cream of the evil clown crop.
Unfortunately, in recent times, a sort of It-esq epidemic surfaced, featuring clowns loitering in a Pennywise-like fashion in cities all over America. So, to that I say, “Nope!” I will stay in my apartment until the end of time if I ever spot one of these copycats.
What I can tell you is where these sightings took place, so that you may keep your eyes peeled if you’re visiting the region(s) and run to the nearest mildly populated area if you become a witness of such terror. What do you do if you spot a terrifying jester? I’m not saying immediately call the police–it’s not against the law to be a clown. But you know what’s not illegal? Running from a clown. And don’t look back. Bye!
