Real-life Pennywise taunts police in quiet Scottish village

A real-life version of Stephen King's terrifying killer clown Pennywise has been leaving red balloons all around Skelmorlie.
It seems that we can't go one Halloween season without some sort of creepy clown story cropping up and this year is no exception.

According to reports, a man dressed as Pennywise from Stephen King's horror masterpiece 'It' has been filming himself wandering around the streets of Skelmorlie in north Ayrshire, Scotland.

"Well, well, well, I've made the news again," he said in his most recent video.

"Should I smile for the cameras with my 'hideous' grin?'"

"The police have been informed, do you think that I care? They'd have to catch me first anyway - and yes, that's a dare. They called me 'killer clown'. Why don't you leave the jokes to me."
"The only thing that's dying is your credibility."

"If you come to visit then you'll float too. This clown doesn't want fame, glory or gold. He just wants to play in this so-called 'sleepy town'. So, come and join in and learn to fear the Skelmorlie clown."

His Facebook page, under the name 'Cole Deimos', can be found - here.

While the clown hasn't technically committed any crimes, some local parents are concerned that he could be dangerous and are planning to keep their children in on Halloween.

"Someone needs to have a word with him before the police get involved or he really terrifies someone," said one local. "He could give someone a heart attack."
