PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Pennsylvania State Police are warning about the possible return of “creepy clown” sightings.
Police issued a community awareness bulletin as the Stephen King movie “IT” nears its theatrical release next month.
“With the fall of 2017 upon us, it is anticipated that similar ‘creepy clown’ sightings could be reported starting as soon as September, in part due to the fact that the movie ‘It’ will be released in theaters on 9/8/2017,” the bulletin reads. “The movie, which is adapted from a Stephen King novel by the same name, portrays an evil demon who takes on the shape of a clown named Pennywise, ‘that stalks kids from within the sewers and killing them when they least expect it.’”
Sightings were reported in 16 states last year, including Pennsylvania.
“The creepy clown craze in September 2016 resulted in at least a dozen people arrested in Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia for either taking part in the menacing stunt or for making false reports.”
Police added that “creepy clown” sightings are not new, as several were reported nationwide in the 1980s.
This bulletin comes as the World Clown Association braces for a wave of backlash due to the upcoming release of “IT.”
The association’s president says some members have lost work or even had the police called on them.

Define “creepy clown”! Another round of insanity?
How about being afraid of “creepy m*slim” instead? they actually DO kill innocent people and rape young girls.
For the edification of anyone who might have missed the phenomenon in the swirl of the election, the “creepy clown” sightings were of people dressed as clowns, often with distorted halloween-clown masks, who would step out of wooded areas or lurk on the shoulder of unpopulated stretches of road, and who would make threatening gestures at passers-by. On a few occasions, they pursued people, and on a few occasions (some overlap) they would brandish weapons (usually knives).
The roadside sightings were usually too far off the main road for the driver to do anything about, and IIRC the “clown” would usually only make themselves visible briefly just as a car was passing i.e. you couldn’t see them too far ahead.
Bill and Hillary need to stay indoors. Talk about creepy....
I saw him on Yahoo news the other day. Obama, that was creepy enough for me.
The Clowns should organize. Call themselves...AntiClowns.
I thought Tim Kaine had gone back to Virginia? /
“The Clowns should organize. Call themselves...AntiClowns.”

Where’s the “Do you wanna get shot? Because this is how you get shot.” meme guy?

Sooner or later one of them is going to get ventilated....
HYSTERICAL!!!
Why won’t Hillary just stay in the damn woods!?
The thing about demons...they don’t always look creepy and their leader is supposedly beautiful. BTW, I think Steven King is awful.
