Clown Sightings Have Allegedly Turned to Murder
What started as a small joke? sampling of sightings, the clown “craze” has officially got out of control (if the threats of violence earlier this week weren’t enough).
A story that appears to have gone under the radar, maybe to avoid mass panic, is that there has allegedly been a clown-related murder. Police in eastern Pennsylvania are trying to figure out who stabbed a 16-year-old to death during a fight that broke out after a person showed up wearing a clown mask, Fox News reported last week.
“We urge anyone who was there to contact the Reading police,” Berks County District Attorney John T. Adams told the Reading Eagle. “Someone was wearing a clown mask and a fight broke out. Anyone who knows anything about this, please contact the Reading police.

Officials told the newspaper they responded to reports of a person lying on a front porch of a home, and that there was a large crowd in the street. The Reading Eagle identified the victim as Christian Torres, 16, who was a 10th-grader at Reading High School.
Reading Police Chief Andres Dominguez Jr. told the newspaper that investigators believe there are several suspects.
“I believe the issues got out of control,” Dominguez told the Reading Eagle. “Everyone in the neighborhood knows each other.”
It’s only a matter of time before the media will deem this as “clown terrorism”, which will be both hysterical and frightening. There’s nothing funny about violence or the threat of harm, and what may have begun as a tasteless joke is now a National emergency. 2016, man, how did we get here?
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
