We’d hope we were over the whole ‘scary clown’ thing.
Stephen King’s
It is a stone cold horror classic. Whether you read the 1,200 brick of a novel, or watched
the 1990 TV miniseries starring Tim Curry, Pennywise the Clown has remained particularly terrifying to 80s and 90s kids.
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a new big screen version of
It out – and it’s definitely worth seeing. It’s a big-budget, violent, scary and surprisingly funny horror ride, and Bill Skarsgård makes an utterly petrifying Pennywise. The movie already looks like it’s going to be a massive hit as well – which means scary clowns are probably about to jump right back into the pop culture landscape and start scaring us again. Oh dear.
And it’s started already. Twitter user

Instead of fleeing like a normal person would, he took a few snaps as the clown wondered about.

He even had a chat with him.

Just him and the clown, chilling.

Don’t worry, he tweeted after the film, so we know he’s ok and now floating down a sewer somewhere.
