A vintage circus poster styled like it’s been pulled from a dusty trunk in some forgotten attic—creased, sun-faded, and water-stained, yet still horribly vibrant. At the center is Pennywise the Dancing Clown, unmistakably the Tim Curry version: wide, painted smile stretching across his face like a gash, bright red hair fanning out from his white-painted scalp like tufts of fire, and that unmistakable stare—mirthless and menacing. His clown suit, a garish mix of faded purple, blue, and yellow, has the stiff ruffles and puffed sleeves of an old-timey harlequin. He stands mid-bow, one arm extended, holding a balloon that floats a little too perfectly above his head—the only thing in the image that looks new.
Behind him, the background is illustrated like an old circus tent interior, the fabric striped red and gold, but stained with age and shadow. Faintly in the corner, silhouettes of children (or are they?) blur into the tent walls like ghosts watching the show. There are frayed ropes, cracked spotlights, and torn banners hanging above him, fluttering despite no wind.
At the top of the image in bold, distressed circus font, the title arches grandly:
🎪 PENNYWISE THE DANCING CLOWN 🎪
—with starbursts and little flourishes around the words, like a twisted parody of old Barnum & Bailey posters. The font looks like it's hand-painted, but the red ink has bled slightly, resembling old blood soaked into parchment.
