With the release of the latest cinema adaptation Stephen King's "It," popularity of Pennywise the Dancing Clown increased enormously. Night and day, countless numbers of jokes and memes appear in social networks since late August.
The most peculiar "memefication" of Pennywise started when one user twitted a screenshot from the 2017 movie, accompanied with a challenging question, asking what it would take for people to join the nightmare.

Since then, microbloggers started finding all kinds of reasons to crawl down the sewers and follow the villainous clown.
