| Dec 13, 2017 at 23:50 | comment | added | XeLa | Daft is correct, yes; Pennywise liked to take the appearance of a clown in order to lure children away from prying eyes (if necessary), and in order to lull them into a false sense of security/surprise. The quote, supporting this, from the novel is: "The fears of children could often be summoned up in a single face . . . and if bait were needed, why, what child did not love a clown?" - Pennywise It, Under the City, 3 | |
