My first pass at a costumed Pennywise with full head mask. It's all about balancing and weight distribution but like all weather New Brunswick-style, it rained and Pennywise's gloves and clown shoes fell off (wardrobe malfunction). The other challenge was the cold air and latex balloons do not coexist -- mylar balloons will work.
In 2026, I'm foregoing the magical line and going for industrial strength to hoist Pennywise about ten feet above the cemetery. Though I've considered giving him mylar balloons, I may opt for a non-helium prop. The next step is making him move up and down.
