NEW YORK CITY — Here’s a new complaint to add to your long, long list of L train woes: among its commuters is a child-eating clown.
Pennywise — the demonic clown terrorizing the children of Derry in Stephen King’s classic novel “It” — was spotted with his iconic red balloon in hand on a Manhattan-bound L train, video shows.
“We all float down here,” Pennywise informed is fellow straphangers, who did not seem to be in fear for their lives.
One L train rider waved at Pennywise and he gave a polite wave back.
The L Train It is actually New York City magician Alejandro Torres, who said the videographer caught him commuting home at 1 a.m. after a daylong shoot in Manhattan.
“I was trying to get back to Brooklyn,” said Torres, who plans to release video of his Pennywise magic video next week. “I did my best to stay in character but I was exhausted.”
Torres said his It-inspired magic show movie will feature red balloons, pompoms, and the throaty up-speak made iconic by Hollywood’s Bill Skarsgård, who will portray the evil clown in the Warner Bros. sequel “IT Chapter Two,” scheduled to release on Sept. 6.
“I want to take stuff that can be seen as scary and make it fun,” Torres told Patch. “The reactions so far have been really positive.”
The video was shared by SubwayCreatures, New York’s favorite Instagram account for tracking MTA oddities, and had been seen more than 600,000 times as of Monday morning.
Several followers were quick to quip that the evil subway clown had a harder time scaring New Yorkers than the residents of the fictional Derry, Maine, where King set his 1986 horror novel.
“Hilarious,” wrote chefterridien. “Clearly no one is threatened by Pennywise in New York.”
“Ugh, wrote babygotslack. “Hate running into my ex on the train.”
