This Terrifying Paper Mache Pennywise Sculpture Will Give You Nightmares

Who needs to sleep anyway, right?

Whether you loved IT or didn’t care for it, there’s no denying that the new Pennywise was one of the most striking, instantly iconic monsters to grace the big screen in years. Sure, Pennywise was a pre-existing horror icon thanks to Tim Curry, but the ground-up redesign of the character, well, essentially made him a brand new villain.

Not surprisingly, countless artists have been inspired by the redesign in the wake of IT being released last year, but no single piece of Pennywise art has impressed us more than this one courtesy of El Mescalito: a 9-foot tall, paper mache recreation of the child-eating killer clown that’s currently on display at the Copro Gallery in Santa Monica, CA.

The piece is part of the gallery’s latest exhibit, Conjoined 8, which had its opening reception this past Saturday night. It’s on sale for $4,000… and worth every penny(wise).

If you’ve got the money and you need it, head over to Copro Gallery for details.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
