Photographer gets little brother to dress up as It for brilliant (and creepy) photo-shoot

"We all float down here."

Jade Hayden

This is amazing.

And terrifying. But mostly, amazing.

The remake of Stephen King’s horrifying novel It is set to hit cinemas next week, and while we know we’re going to be absolutely terrified watching the movie, we also can’t wait.

Neither can Eagan Tilghman, it seems, because he’s only gone and dressed his little brother up as Pennywise the clown and done an unreal photoshoot with him – balloons and all.

It’s scarily accurate.

Eagan originally shared the photos he took of three-year-old Louie on his Facebook page with the caption “I got bored.”

Fair play to you, Eagan. When we get bored we usually binge watch trash TV on Netflix, not create our own (painfully impressive) real-life Pennywise.

He even convinced brother Louie to stand in a river for the shoot.

That’s artistic dedication (and creepy as hell).

Eagan’s work has already received almost 3,000 likes on Facebook, with friends and fans of the movie applauding the Mississippi teenager’s creativity.

And we don’t blame them.

He is one talented guy.

Eagan has since shared a photo on his Instagram of Louie without his Pennywise makeup and forehead modifications.

In the post’s caption, he wrote:

“(Louie’s) actually quite adorable compared to his portrayal of pennywise. So as you can tell, he’s pretty serious about staying in character.”

He also doesn’t want his brother’s new found fame to stop here.

Eagan’s been all over Twitter trying to get he and Louie a spot on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. 

They’re certainly hell-bent on scaring the crap out of America.
