webfact Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Stephen King steps in to calm the creepy clown craze Catherine Hardy Sightings in US and across the UK Warnings from police Horror writer Stephen King steps in Keep reading to see a cute clown pic BANGOR, ME: -- The best-selling horror writer Stephen King has stepped in to calm concerns about the current craze for clown sightings. King wrote the 1986 bestseller “It”, which tells the story of a supernatural being that appears as a clown. “Hey guys, time to cool the clown hysteria – most of ‘em are good, cheer up the kiddies, make people laugh,” King wrote on Twitter. The prank craze began in the United States and has since spread to other countries. “Killer clown” sightings British police have taken the unusual step of issuing a warning after a spate of creepy clown sightings across the country. Police forces say they have received dozens of reports of so-called “killer clown” sightings in the last week. Individuals dressed in clown outfits sometimes carrying knives have been seen acting suspiciously or have chased people, often young children. -- © Copyright Euronews 2016-10-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I think anyone in a clown uniform needs help, good and bad. Strange bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silurian Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Isn't it a little ironic the master of "creeping out" stories tells people not to creep out? "It" was good but a little long. I prefer "The Stand". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khon Kaen Dave Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Silurian Good choice,the stand was superior to IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM07 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I still think "The Long Walk", written as Richard Bachman is way superior. But I can't wait for the remake of "It" and "The Stand" for TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
