What the fuck was that about?Another MkUltra type of bullshit?
They were actually aliens/demons.
Probably a mass demonic ritual ferrying us deeper into clownworld/demonic dreammatrix.
>>41811524>>41811585can christcucks stop spreading their jewish schizophrenia everywhere?
>>41811588Anon...this is /x/. Demons are part of the territory. Got it?
>>41811516It was obviously a few people fucking around which then caught on and got copycats. It was fun though, it generated a nice atmosphere for a little while. You don't get shit like that on the internet anymore. It's just all hate and fear.
>>41811585Yes it's SRA, you don't hear about the ones who couldn't outrun. Every once in a while in those true scary stories people share on plebbit or youtube comps, you'll find one about encountering a person in the woods who's holding a knife and wearing an animal mask or clown suit. Even before the 2016 scare.
>>41811516it was the same year the first IT movie came out and was a promotion for it, similar to how there where mooninite light brights that the boston police freaked out about during the aqua teen hunger force colon movie film for theaters promotion
>>41811516Just look in the mirror honey
>>41812683correction it came out in 2017 technically but you know what i mean it was the 2016-2017 season and it's normal for promotion to start about a year/half a year in advance to stir up hype and get the idea of killer clowns in the collective zeitgeist so then people are primed and hyped to go see a movie about the same, plus the nostalgia effect since the 1990s it made for tv movie was based and a huge part of all our childhoods so i mean not technically mk ultra or anything that sinister but benign psychological manipulation for sure, which is all marketing is at the end of the day
>>41812683>>41812701More likely IT came out around then BECAUSE of the clown theme, not the other way around.
It was kinda funny and interesting while it lasted. Won't get anything like it anymore ever again. Just some straight up political murder crap instead
>>41813900Lol you were, what, five back then? Not throwing shade. I like ya Migga. I've always liked ya. Best goddamned tripfag from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine. Or Portland Oregon for thar matter.
>>41815059Please stop replying to yourself
>>41811516There was a wave of clown sightings in the 80s as well- bizarre
advertisements for the it shit
>>41813900>More likely IT came out around then BECAUSE of the clown theme, not the other way around.do you realize how long it takes to make a major studio hollywood movie, especially when working with a production house like newline cinema? not even including pre production and green lighting? especially a decade ago. sorry anon this is a very very naive borderline retarded take and you've clearly never worked in the industry before.
>>41811516It was that eras iteration of The Founders performing a ritual. Some where copycats; others were trained killers looking to invoke some sort cultural shift by appearing to the masses en mass.We know The Founders were real.We know High Level Government Officials engage in Occult Rituals.We know many of them are connected to Child Sex & Murder.We know they have plans to rewrite society and return us to an age of Overt Subservience.Serial Killers are still around; they've just been absorbed into Government assets. Like mass shooters and child Predators.How the trip never stopsOn and on, it's beyond insaneWhy I set myself upIn a raging sea of flames?
>>41811516could've been some cult shit in the beginning, but i reckon it was ultimately just mass hysteria and clout chasers. They were weirdly frequent though, I remember seeing one alone way out in buttfuck no-where in wales
>>41816215There was alot of hightech stuff then tho. Honestly, they probably can generate a film on seconds. How do you know it is not AI/demon generated? You know how many films get pumped out quick? Like not b-films? Even putting the skitzo take aside, how do you know they did not have a planned date for all this to occur. Why would people advertising a film go after children? The IT film explanation is a coverup for legit /x/ crap going down.
>>41811516There was anouther episode of clown late 70s early 80s . It’s like some sort of cycle. I’m sure if you look further back in history you would find more clown episodes.
>>41817621Wait you saw one in wales ? Your like so casual about it like “ oh it’s just some fad” . Like that’s weird man.
>>41811516I don't believe it was directly tied to the It film as many anons are suggesting - it could've been to a minor extent, but I believe at the time there wasn't much information besides production information.Clowns are a popular horror trope, either you're scared of clowns, or someone you know is scared of them. Realistically, there was probably a prank video that interested others in mimicking the format, which spiralled into a meme. Besides the stabbing, which I account to a sicko tacking advantage of the situation, the majority of sighting can be understood as teens dicking around in costumes.Sorry for being such a skeptic on this one, but I've never understood why so many of you hold this event in a paranormal light - do you assume the ghouls haunting the streets on Halloween are real?
>>41811516I thought it was just another trendy wave of people online figuring out a weird way to mess with other people in public
>>41811516It was probably manufactured (viral marketing?), but it was kind of funny seeing an artificial wave of terror go across the nation. People propagated it further with copycats. I assume it probably ended after someone got shot somewhere or something. Nothing on the same level has really happened since except for "phantom drones" last year
>>41812683The clown craze was kicked off over a guerrilla marketing campaign promoting an indie movie called Gags the Clown. It’s pretty well documented, the original page that spun up was called “Gags the Green Bay Clown”.
I believe they were doing a short film at the time they later adapted into a feature which is what this poster is from. People in Green Bay found the page as intended, and since it wasn’t presented clearly as movie promo, they thought it was a real weirdo and got spooked. The pics drew press coverage, and it gripped people enough to enter the mainstream and inspire copycats. Clowns have always been one of those things people tend to have phobias of so the probably helped. But yeah, it wasn’t tied to to IT, if anything it was just incidental marketing that worked in WB’s favor. Kinda like an early version of Barbenheimer or the Gentle Minions trend
>>41819801Shriners have clowns for a reason, Royal Order of Jesters too. I think what we saw was definitely ritualistic, and a bit more than viral marketing for a movie still a year out. I recall hearing local stories in the Midwest about rural couples seeing clowns by the tree lines, many of these people weren't media savvy or TV fiends, so it just being hysterics on their end I don't believe.
>>41821780That makes it even creepier.
>>41811516My friend stumbled upon a clown in the forest at night, it was December 2015 actually. The clown was spotted with a huge axe, my friend was a bit drunk and high as fuck, so he shot the clown. To this day we don't know what came out of it. But who the fuck normal walks around woods at night, dressed as a clown with big axe, a real one mind you.We were all very suprised when the Sightings of 2016 happened, weird coincidence.
>>41821803It sounds like a clean shoot.
Predictive programming for Trump 2016.Iykyk.
>>41811516Why does the clown sightings feel like the last novel super event of this timeline? After 2016 it feels like we slipped into an information singularity. An unfathomable amount of data is processed but nothing "happens". Pre-2016 it felt like the universe was ramping up the novelty simulation tenfold but then it all just stopped.
>>41821845Possibly. Or that thing wasn't human at all if we go full schizo.
IT is real same as everything else Steven King wrote, it was written in a drunken cocaine induced trance. Was he channeling or writing an evil spells
>>41821876clown world?
>>41822474Yes. It was the required warning fools in heavy makeup with fright wigs (Orange Man, trannies, blue hairs, etc) would bring us chaos and silliness in equal quantities.
>>41822418Cell seems like preductive programming too. Funny thing is Samuel L. Jackson played in 2 different movies with a zombifiying signal. Around the same time too.
