  3. Ken: You've got people
  4. who see something.
  5. akumenang.com
  6.  
  7. 2
  8. 00:00:47,308 --> 00:00:51,660
  9. It can create
  10. instantaneous ramping
  11.  
  12. 3
  13. 00:00:51,834 --> 00:00:54,097
  14. of fear, frenzy, concern,
  15. in a community.
  16.  
  17. 4
  18. 00:00:59,537 --> 00:01:02,801
  19. You typically would see
  20. that kind of situation
  21.  
  22. 5
  23. 00:01:02,975 --> 00:01:05,543
  24. around serial rape,
  25. serial murders.
  26.  
  27. 6
  28. 00:01:11,375 --> 00:01:15,684
  29. I can tell you that it creates grave concerns on our part
  30.  
  31. 7
  32. 00:01:15,945 --> 00:01:18,774
  33. because what we don't want
  34. is people to be
  35.  
  36. 8
  37. 00:01:19,035 --> 00:01:22,691
  38. subsequently injured
  39. in an assault, or murdered.
  40.  
  41. 9
  42. 00:01:28,523 --> 00:01:30,786
  43. Where somebody claims
  44. that they felt threatened,
  45.  
  46. 10
  47. 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,136
  48. or this frenzy just kinda
  49. takes over
  50.  
  51. 11
  52. 00:01:33,354 --> 00:01:34,833
  53. and people start
  54. behaving in ways
  55.  
  56. 12
  57. 00:01:35,007 --> 00:01:37,314
  58. that they would
  59. not otherwise behave.
  60.  
  61. 13
  62. 00:04:12,469 --> 00:04:13,818
  63. Boy 1: Oh, my God.
  64.  
  65. 14
  66. 00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:15,820
  67. I didn't know
  68. this was really real.
  69.  
  70. 15
  71. 00:04:15,994 --> 00:04:17,561
  72. Boy 2: Then why did you hide
  73. under that girl's bed
  74.  
  75. 16
  76. 00:04:17,779 --> 00:04:19,128
  77. that one time?
  78.  
  79. 17
  80. 00:04:19,302 --> 00:04:20,695
  81. Boy 1: I know you really
  82. don't kill,
  83.  
  84. 18
  85. 00:04:20,869 --> 00:04:22,566
  86. you just show up
  87. at people's houses.
  88.

  301.  
  302. 65
  303. 00:06:12,937 --> 00:06:14,417

  351.  
  352. 76
  353. 00:06:43,141 --> 00:06:44,229

  355.  
  356. 77
  357. 00:06:44,621 --> 00:06:46,797
  358. Wrinkles walks by
  359. and the whole thing.
  360.  
  361. 78
  362. 00:06:47,842 --> 00:06:50,497
  363. What I saw was like a little
  364. flyer or pamphlet on a post
  365.  
  366. 79
  367. 00:06:50,671 --> 00:06:52,237
  368. and I was walking home
  369. from work one day,
  370.  
  371. 80
  372. 00:06:52,542 --> 00:06:53,978
  373. and it had him, and his name,
  374. and his number, and I was like,
  375.  
  376. 81
  377. 00:06:54,152 --> 00:06:55,806
  378. "Dude, I'm gonna try
  379. to call this, you know,
  380.  
  381. 82
  382. 00:06:56,024 --> 00:06:57,547
  383. phone number, get ahold of him,"
  384. it goes right to his voicemail.
  385.  
  386. 83
  387. 00:06:57,721 --> 00:06:59,114
  388. I'm like... so I call him over
  389. and over again,
  390.  
  391. 84
  392. 00:06:59,288 --> 00:07:01,029
  393. he finally picked up.
  394. It was the coolest thing
  395.  
  396. 85
  397. 00:07:01,246 --> 00:07:02,857
  398. 'cause it was, you know,
  399. actually him saying,
  400.  
  401. 86
  402. 00:07:03,031 --> 00:07:04,815
  403. - "Hey, what's going on?"
  404. - I love what he's doing.
  405.  
  406. 87
  407. 00:07:05,033 --> 00:07:08,863
  408. It brings a spark, an energy,
  409. to the neighborhood.
  410.  
  411. 88
  412. 00:07:09,167 --> 00:07:10,821
  413. And...
  414. ...how many times
  415.  
  416. 89
  417. 00:07:10,995 --> 00:07:13,433
  418. do we bring it up
  419. to people alone, you know?
  420.  
  421. 90
  422. 00:07:13,607 --> 00:07:17,001
  423. Just be afraid of this.
  424. You can't be afraid of Jason.
  425.  
  426. 91
  427. 00:07:17,175 --> 00:07:18,568
  428. - It's fiction.
  429.  
  430. 92
  431. 00:07:18,742 --> 00:07:20,962
  432. You can't be afraid of,

  435. 93
  436. 00:07:21,179 --> 00:07:22,746

  438. of Wrinkles.
  439.  
  440. 94

  885.  
  886. 190
  887. 00:11:34,432 --> 00:11:35,912
  888. They're gonna try

  898. just a boundary saying, um,

  964. to scare somebody
  965.  
  966. 207
  967. 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,444
  968. because I'm a terrible person,
  969. man.
  970.  
  971. 208
  972. 00:12:29,618 --> 00:12:31,968
  973. I know where the gun is, okay?
  974. And I will...
  975.  
  976. 209
  977. 00:12:32,447 --> 00:12:35,319
  978. If he shows up to my room
  979. at 3:00 a.m...
  980.  
  981. 210
  982. 00:12:35,667 --> 00:12:37,060
  983. Eadie, you're gonna get me
  984. arrested here.
  985.  
  986. 211
  987. 00:12:37,234 --> 00:12:38,888
  988. He went in the bathroom,
  989. he got toilet paper.
  990.  
  991. 212
  992. 00:12:39,106 --> 00:12:41,935
  993. He was just throwing it
  994. all around the house
  995.  
  996. 213
  997. 00:12:42,109 --> 00:12:43,240
  998. so I called the number.
  999.  
  1000. 214
  1001. 00:12:43,588 --> 00:12:46,896
  1002. And Wrink... The voicemail
  1003. picked up again,
  1004.  
  1005. 215
  1006. 00:12:47,157 --> 00:12:49,899
  1007. and when we heard the laugh,
  1008. he lost his mind.
  1009.  
  1010. 216
  1011. 00:12:50,291 --> 00:12:51,988
  1012. I promise, he lost his mind.
  1013.  
  1014. 217
  1015. 00:12:52,293 --> 00:12:54,861
  1016. He just started crying and he...
  1017. I promise he didn't move
  1018.  
  1019. 218
  1020. 00:12:55,035 --> 00:12:57,602
  1021. for about, I think,
  1022. like, two hours.
  1023.  
  1024. 219
  1025. 00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:59,256
  1026. He didn't move for,
  1027. like, two hours.
  1028.  
  1029. 220
  1030. 00:13:01,041 --> 00:13:01,998
  1031. Antonio: Okay.
  1032.  
  1033. 221
  1034. 00:13:03,478 --> 00:13:04,566
  1035. Antonio: Hey, Wrinkles
  1036. the Clown.
  1037.  
  1038. 222
  1039. 00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:06,350
  1040. Kaila: Stop.
  1041.  
  1042. 223
  1043. 00:13:06,568 --> 00:13:08,309
  1044. - Antonio: Kaila's being bad.
  1045.  
  1046. 224
  1047. 00:13:08,483 --> 00:13:10,311
  1048. I need you to come get her
  1049. 'cause she's being bad.
  1050.  
  1051. 225
  1052. 00:13:12,487 --> 00:13:15,011
  1053. - Kaila: Stop calling him.
  1054. - Antonio: Don't be bad then.
  1055.  
  1056. 226
  1057. 00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:21,104
  1058. Woman: Hi, Wrinkles, there's
  1059. this very bad child...
  1060.  
  1061. 227
  1062. 00:13:21,322 --> 00:13:23,193
  1063. - ...Jordan,
  1064.  
  1065. 228
  1066. 00:13:23,367 --> 00:13:24,629
  1067. and I was just wondering
  1068. if you could give me
  1069.  
  1070. 229
  1071. 00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:25,674
  1072. a call back.
  1073.  
  1074. 230
  1075. 00:13:26,893 --> 00:13:28,895
  1076. You hear this?
  1077. This is Wrinkles.
  1078.  
  1079. 231
  1080. 00:13:31,332 --> 00:13:33,682
  1081. - So misguided.
  1082.  
  1083. 232
  1084. 00:13:34,335 --> 00:13:36,728
  1085. My name is George Holden.
  1086. I'm a professor
  1087.  
  1088. 233
  1089. 00:13:36,903 --> 00:13:40,167
  1090. and Chair of Psychology
  1091. at Southern Methodist University
  1092.  
  1093. 234
  1094. 00:13:40,645 --> 00:13:42,517
  1095. and I'm a developmental
  1096. psychologist.
  1097.  
  1098. 235
  1099. 00:13:42,691 --> 00:13:46,608
  1100. I study parent-child
  1101. relationships, family violence,
  1102.  
  1103. 236
  1104. 00:13:46,782 --> 00:13:48,392
  1105. parents' use of discipline.
  1106.  
  1107. 237
  1108. 00:13:49,002 --> 00:13:53,702
  1109. This idea of calling Wrinkles
  1110. the Clown is really misguided.
  1111.  
  1112. 238
  1113. 00:13:53,876 --> 00:13:56,270
  1114. If it's done frequently enough,
  1115. it's...
  1116.  
  1117. 239
  1118. 00:13:56,444 --> 00:13:58,620
  1119. If it's a pattern of behavior,
  1120. in this case,
  1121.  
  1122. 240
  1123. 00:13:58,794 --> 00:14:00,622
  1124. we're talking
  1125. about terrorizing a child,
  1126.  
  1127. 241
  1128. 00:14:00,970 --> 00:14:02,015
  1129. that is...
  1130.  
  1131. 242
  1132. 00:14:02,580 --> 00:14:06,367
  1133. currently accepted
  1134. as one manifestation
  1135.  
  1136. 243
  1137. 00:14:06,541 --> 00:14:09,936
  1138. of psychological maltreatment,
  1139. which is a form of child abuse.
  1140.  
  1141. 244
  1142. 00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:14,766
  1143. I found out about Wrinkles the Clown through a news story.
  1144.  
  1145. 245
  1146. 00:14:14,984 --> 00:14:17,769
  1147. To me, it's sad that he couldn't come up with
  1148.  
  1149. 246
  1150. 00:14:17,944 --> 00:14:21,034
  1151. a more positive approach.
  1152.  
  1153. 247
  1154. 00:14:21,338 --> 00:14:24,167
  1155. He doesn't actually have
  1156. to travel into a home
  1157.  
  1158. 248
  1159. 00:14:24,341 --> 00:14:26,778
  1160. but that threat can still be,
  1161. at least for kids,
  1162.  
  1163. 249
  1164. 00:14:26,953 --> 00:14:29,129
  1165. as powerful as the real thing.
  1166.  
  1167. 250
  1168. 00:14:29,607 --> 00:14:32,828
  1169. Antonio: Oh, so you're
  1170. hyper now, Mrs. Want to, um...
  1171.  
  1172. 251
  1173. 00:14:33,002 --> 00:14:34,917
  1174. - ...play with the ducks.
  1175.  
  1176. 252
  1177. 00:14:37,659 --> 00:14:39,052
  1178. Antonio: Oh, they running
  1179. over here.
  1180.  
  1181. 253
  1182. 00:14:39,617 --> 00:14:41,793
  1183. - Here I come with some food!
  1184. - Antonio: Throw it in there.
  1185.  
  1186. 254
  1187. 00:14:46,233 --> 00:14:47,712
  1188. Antonio: I definitely
  1189. would use Wrinkles
  1190.  
  1191. 255
  1192. 00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:50,411
  1193. one hundred percent of the time
  1194. over spankings.
  1195.  
  1196. 256
  1197. 00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,501
  1198. Spankings, uh...
  1199. That kind of leaves a mark...
  1200.  
  1201. 257
  1202. 00:14:53,718 --> 00:14:56,373
  1203. ...you know,
  1204. and so the phone, um,
  1205.  
  1206. 258
  1207. 00:14:56,547 --> 00:14:59,768
  1208. it's a voice. And it kinda
  1209. leaves the, um,
  1210.  
  1211. 259
  1212. 00:14:59,942 --> 00:15:03,424
  1213. scary option of, "if I'm bad,
  1214. then I gotta hear this voice,"
  1215.  
  1216. 260
  1217. 00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:05,687
  1218. and she doesn't wanna hear
  1219. the voice.
  1220.  
  1221. 261
  1222. 00:15:13,738 --> 00:15:15,915
  1223. Wrinkles: When I was a kid,
  1224. you got the fucking belt.
  1225.  
  1226. 262
  1227. 00:15:16,089 --> 00:15:17,568
  1228. You know,
  1229. my dad was old school.
  1230.  
  1231. 263
  1232. 00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:19,353
  1233. He would go hard on you,
  1234. you know?
  1235.  
  1236. 264
  1237. 00:15:19,527 --> 00:15:20,745
  1238. He cared about us
  1239. and he didn't want us
  1240.  
  1241. 265
  1242. 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,356
  1243. to get in trouble, so...
  1244.  
  1245. 266
  1246. 00:15:22,530 --> 00:15:24,314
  1247. Now, it's like, you know,
  1248. you can't hit your kids,
  1249.  
  1250. 267
  1251. 00:15:24,488 --> 00:15:26,186
  1252. you can't do this,
  1253. you'll go to jail.
  1254.  
  1255. 268
  1256. 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,102
  1257. So, you know, they're using
  1258. psychological warfare,
  1259.  
  1260. 269
  1261. 00:15:29,276 --> 00:15:31,669
  1262. things like that, you know?
  1263. They're using what's available.
  1264.  
  1265. 270
  1266. 00:15:31,887 --> 00:15:34,455
  1267. And is that as harmful
  1268. as spanking your kid
  1269.  
  1270. 271
  1271. 00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:35,804
  1272. with a belt, you know?
  1273. I don't know.
  1274.  
  1275. 272
  1276. 00:15:35,978 --> 00:15:37,458
  1277. It's up to you,
  1278. you're the parent.
  1279.  
  1280. 273
  1281. 00:15:41,984 --> 00:15:43,116
  1282. Wrinkles: I've been asked before
  1283.  
  1284. 274
  1285. 00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:45,553
  1286. if I feel guilty
  1287. about the parents
  1288.  
  1289. 275
  1290. 00:15:45,727 --> 00:15:47,642
  1291. that wanna use me
  1292. for behavioral services.
  1293.  
  1294. 276
  1295. 00:15:47,816 --> 00:15:50,340
  1296. You know, that's a contract
  1297. between me and mom and dad.
  1298.  
  1299. 277
  1300. 00:15:50,514 --> 00:15:53,300
  1301. That's nobody else's business,
  1302. so you got a problem with it,
  1303.  
  1304. 278
  1305. 00:15:53,474 --> 00:15:54,779
  1306. you can take it up
  1307. with mom and dad,
  1308.  
  1309. 279
  1310. 00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:56,259
  1311. 'cause I'm just doing my job.
  1312.  
  1313. 280
  1314. 00:16:29,249 --> 00:16:31,381
  1315. Girl: Why are you stalking
  1316. little kids?
  1317.  
  1318. 281
  1319. 00:16:36,821 --> 00:16:38,475
  1320. Jarrett: Oh, here.
  1321. I have an idea.
  1322.  
  1323. 282
  1324. 00:16:41,261 --> 00:16:42,523
  1325. Is this good?
  1326.  
  1327. 283
  1328. 00:16:42,871 --> 00:16:45,961
  1329. Um, what I wanna do
  1330. when I'm older is
  1331.  
  1332. 284
  1333. 00:16:46,135 --> 00:16:50,009
  1334. I wanna be a professional
  1335. animal trainer.
  1336.  
  1337. 285
  1338. 00:16:51,053 --> 00:16:54,404
  1339. So, this is my dog Schnitzel.
  1340. He is a schnauzer mix.
  1341.  
  1342. 286
  1343. 00:16:54,578 --> 00:16:57,494
  1344. And then this is
  1345. my mom's dog, Gracey.
  1346.  
  1347. 287
  1348. 00:16:58,147 --> 00:17:01,498
  1349. Her owners died and no one
  1350. really knows how,
  1351.  
  1352. 288
  1353. 00:17:01,672 --> 00:17:03,674
  1354. not even, like, police
  1355. or anything.
  1356.  
  1357. 289
  1358. 00:17:10,116 --> 00:17:13,467
  1359. Jarrett: Okay. So, I just wanted
  1360. to try to call clowns
  1361.  
  1362. 290
  1363. 00:17:13,641 --> 00:17:15,164
  1364. just to see, like,
  1365. what would happen
  1366.  
  1367. 291
  1368. 00:17:15,338 --> 00:17:16,774
  1369. and I didn't get in trouble
  1370. for it
  1371.  
  1372. 292
  1373. 00:17:16,948 --> 00:17:18,428
  1374. but my parents were like,
  1375.  
  1376. 293
  1377. 00:17:18,689 --> 00:17:20,430
  1378. "Why are you calling a clown?" and I was, like,
  1379.  
  1380. 294
  1381. 00:17:20,604 --> 00:17:22,476
  1382. "Well,
  1383. Wrinkles sounds more real
  1384.  
  1385. 295
  1386. 00:17:22,650 --> 00:17:24,043
  1387. than what I've seen
  1388. on YouTube."
  1389.  
  1390. 296
  1391. 00:17:24,913 --> 00:17:28,003
  1392. I was like, "Don't be looking up
  1393. numbers online,
  1394.  
  1395. 297
  1396. 00:17:28,482 --> 00:17:31,354
  1397. don't be calling random people.
  1398.  
  1399. 298
  1400. 00:17:31,528 --> 00:17:33,878
  1401. Don't... You don't even know
  1402. if this is...
  1403.  
  1404. 299
  1405. 00:17:34,488 --> 00:17:36,707
  1406. Access to this stuff is scary
  1407.  
  1408. 300
  1409. 00:17:36,881 --> 00:17:38,274
  1410. 'cause you don't know
  1411. what they're getting into.
  1412.  
  1413. 301
  1414. 00:17:38,448 --> 00:17:40,146
  1415. You try to keep an eye on it
  1416. and try to...
  1417.  
  1418. 302
  1419. 00:17:40,624 --> 00:17:42,713
  1420. But you can't govern all of it
  1421.  
  1422. 303
  1423. 00:17:42,931 --> 00:17:45,151
  1424. and so you just kinda
  1425. have to hope that you've...
  1426.  
  1427. 304
  1428. 00:17:45,412 --> 00:17:46,935
  1429. you know, that they have
  1430. a good sense
  1431.  
  1432. 305
  1433. 00:17:47,109 --> 00:17:49,459
  1434. of what's good and not.
  1435.  
  1436. 306
  1437. 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,767
  1438. And yet you got children
  1439. who otherwise wouldn't even care
  1440.  
  1441. 307
  1442. 00:17:52,941 --> 00:17:55,030
  1443. about clowns except
  1444. now scary clowns are cool
  1445.  
  1446. 308
  1447. 00:17:55,204 --> 00:17:59,252
  1448. and so he goes clown crazy
  1449. sometimes.
  1450.  
  1451. 309
  1452. 00:17:59,426 --> 00:18:01,080
  1453. Jarrett: Hey, Wrinkles,
  1454.  
  1455. 310
  1456. 00:18:01,341 --> 00:18:03,517
  1457. I love clowns,
  1458. I love everything.
  1459.  
  1460. 311
  1461. 00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:07,260
  1462. Clowns inspire me.
  1463. Um, call me back,
  1464.  
  1465. 312
  1466. 00:18:07,434 --> 00:18:09,392
  1467. leave me a message,
  1468. text me, anything.
  1469.  
  1470. 313
  1471. 00:18:09,653 --> 00:18:11,264
  1472. I'm making a YouTube video.
  1473.  
  1474. 314
  1475. 00:18:12,308 --> 00:18:13,135
  1476. Bye.
  1477.  
  1478. 315
  1479. 00:18:28,716 --> 00:18:31,893
  1480. Jarrett: If I hired Wrinkles,
  1481. once my kid fell asleep,
  1482.  
  1483. 316
  1484. 00:18:32,415 --> 00:18:33,851
  1485. I would make him
  1486. hide under here,
  1487.  
  1488. 317
  1489. 00:18:34,025 --> 00:18:35,897
  1490. and I would like
  1491. make him bang stuff,
  1492.  
  1493. 318
  1494. 00:18:36,071 --> 00:18:38,378
  1495. like under here, and, like,
  1496. make him, like,
  1497.  
  1498. 319
  1499. 00:18:38,639 --> 00:18:40,902
  1500. get fr...
  1501. like, freaked out a little bit.
  1502.  
  1503. 320
  1504. 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,384
  1505. And then.. And then
  1506. once they fall asleep again,
  1507.  
  1508. 321
  1509. 00:18:44,732 --> 00:18:48,083
  1510. like, I would have him,
  1511. like, come out like this,
  1512.  
  1513. 322
  1514. 00:18:48,257 --> 00:18:49,519
  1515. and I'd have him go...
  1516.  
  1517. 323
  1518. 00:18:50,433 --> 00:18:51,913
  1519. Like that maybe.
  1520.  
  1521. 324
  1522. 00:18:52,218 --> 00:18:54,524
  1523. And, like... Just, like,
  1524. try to mess with him even more.
  1525.  
  1526. 325
  1527. 00:18:55,046 --> 00:18:58,528
  1528. And... And then once
  1529. they fell asleep again,
  1530.  
  1531. 326
  1532. 00:18:58,702 --> 00:18:59,964
  1533. I would have him go like this.
  1534.  
  1535. 327
  1536. 00:19:10,018 --> 00:19:12,847
  1537. Jarrett: I think some people
  1538. sometimes need to be scared,
  1539.  
  1540. 328
  1541. 00:19:13,108 --> 00:19:14,762
  1542. every once in a while.
  1543.  
  1544. 329
  1545. 00:19:15,066 --> 00:19:19,114
  1546. Just, like, some people,
  1547. if they're, like,
  1548.  
  1549. 330
  1550. 00:19:19,288 --> 00:19:22,248
  1551. really sad or something,
  1552. you can just try to scare 'em,
  1553.  
  1554. 331
  1555. 00:19:22,422 --> 00:19:27,427
  1556. and it'll just make 'em like,
  1557. I guess, a little happier.
  1558.  
  1559. 332
  1560. 00:19:28,341 --> 00:19:30,865
  1561. Like, if I'm home alone
  1562. watching creepy videos
  1563.  
  1564. 333
  1565. 00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:32,693
  1566. and I get scared,
  1567. I kinda like it.
  1568.  
  1569. 334
  1570. 00:19:32,867 --> 00:19:34,695
  1571. Like, it'll start feeling
  1572. real to me
  1573.  
  1574. 335
  1575. 00:19:34,869 --> 00:19:37,480
  1576. like there's something else
  1577. creepy happening, like,

  1586. Girl: What are you doing?
  1587.

  1609. is real. I know that he is.
  1610.  
  1611. 343
  1612. 00:19:54,932 --> 00:19:56,195
  1613. Trevor: Folklore is an outlet
  1614.  
  1615. 344
  1616. 00:19:56,369 --> 00:19:58,022
  1617. for connecting
  1618. with other people.
  1619.

  1630. 347
  1631. 00:20:03,114 --> 00:20:06,509
  1632. find this to be richly evocative
  1633. of what culture is.
  1634.  
  1635. 348
  1636. 00:20:13,124 --> 00:20:14,125
  1637. Boy: Dude.

  1646. We have to cut it
  1647. and then put rice.

  1649. 351
  1650. 00:20:20,044 --> 00:20:21,350

  1672. 356
  1673. 00:20:33,928 --> 00:20:36,017
  1674. is we try to verify

  1676.  
  1677. 357
  1678. 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,022
  1679. Charlie, Charlie, can we play?

  1681.  
  1682. 358
  1683. 00:20:42,980 --> 00:20:46,114
  1684. Online, we see that kids
  1685. are propelling the transmission
  1686.  
  1687. 359
  1688. 00:20:46,288 --> 00:20:48,682
  1689. of folklore in a very,

  1877. 00:22:38,052 --> 00:22:39,488
  1878. It's a part of the ritual.
  1879.  
  1880. 400
  1881. 00:22:39,923 --> 00:22:41,185
  1882. Wrinkles: Hi, you've reached
  1883. Wrinkles the Clown,
  1884.  
  1885. 401
  1886. 00:22:41,447 --> 00:22:42,970
  1887. but I'm not here
  1888. to take your call.
  1889.  
  1890. 402
  1891. 00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:44,885
  1892. Leave me a message
  1893. and I'll call ya back.
  1894.  
  1895. 403
  1896. 00:22:47,061 --> 00:22:49,977
  1897. - Boys: What the heck?
  1898. - Dude, that's scary.
  1899.  
  1900. 404
  1901. 00:22:50,151 --> 00:22:52,675
  1902. Boy: Yeah. I told you.
  1903. I told you.
  1904.  
  1905. 405
  1906. 00:23:03,425 --> 00:23:07,255
  1907. - Boy: Bye, Mr. Wrinkle.
  1908. - It went straight to voicemail.
  1909.  
  1910. 406
  1911. 00:23:08,169 --> 00:23:10,650
  1912. - Oh. Well, he's there at least.
  1913. - Boy: Wait. Wait, wait.
  1914.  
  1915. 407
  1916. 00:23:11,433 --> 00:23:13,087
  1917. Wrinkles: Hi, you've reached
  1918. Wrinkles the Clown,
  1919.  
  1920. 408
  1921. 00:23:13,261 --> 00:23:14,654
  1922. - but I'm not...
  1923.  
  1924. 409
  1925. 00:23:14,828 --> 00:23:16,177
  1926. Boy: He...
  1927. He put it to voice...
  1928.  
  1929. 410
  1930. 00:23:16,351 --> 00:23:18,440
  1931. He just turned off
  1932. the phone completely.
  1933.  
  1934. 411
  1935. 00:23:19,006 --> 00:23:22,662
  1936. Oh, yeah. Let me go in here
  1937. and turn off the TV.
  1938.  
  1939. 412
  1940. 00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:26,840
  1941. This is where I do
  1942. all my videos.
  1943.  
  1944. 413
  1945. 00:23:27,014 --> 00:23:28,450
  1946. I should have just gone in here.
  1947.  
  1948. 414
  1949. 00:23:28,668 --> 00:23:31,279
  1950. For fun, I like to watch videos
  1951. and make videos
  1952.  
  1953. 415
  1954. 00:23:31,453 --> 00:23:32,454
  1955. on my YouTube channel.
  1956.  
  1957. 416
  1958. 00:23:33,412 --> 00:23:35,718
  1959. What I like about YouTube
  1960. is you can be creative
  1961.  
  1962. 417
  1963. 00:23:35,892 --> 00:23:38,242
  1964. and you can do what you want
  1965. and not have to
  1966.  
  1967. 418
  1968. 00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:39,940
  1969. do what anybody else wants.
  1970.  
  1971. 419
  1972. 00:23:44,901 --> 00:23:47,730
  1973. Sean: Me and my sister were watching YouTube videos,
  1974.  
  1975. 420
  1976. 00:23:47,904 --> 00:23:49,819
  1977. and we came across
  1978. Wrinkles the Clown.
  1979.  
  1980. 421
  1981. 00:23:49,993 --> 00:23:52,387
  1982. And so we started
  1983. doing research on him
  1984.  
  1985. 422
  1986. 00:23:52,692 --> 00:23:55,434
  1987. and then we just
  1988. called him for a video.
  1989.  
  1990. 423
  1991. 00:23:55,869 --> 00:23:57,523
  1992. We're like, "What if he answers?
  1993.  
  1994. 424
  1995. 00:23:57,697 --> 00:24:00,221
  1996. And what if he's gonna be
  1997. real creepy?
  1998.  
  1999. 425
  2000. 00:24:00,395 --> 00:24:02,702
  2001. What if he's gonna
  2002. start threatening us?
  2003.  
  2004. 426
  2005. 00:24:02,876 --> 00:24:06,096
  2006. What if he just can't take
  2007. getting called like that?"
  2008.  
  2009. 427
  2010. 00:24:06,706 --> 00:24:09,535
  2011. And we're sitting there, like,
  2012. "We shouldn't have done this."
  2013.  
  2014. 428
  2015. 00:24:16,019 --> 00:24:18,239
  2016. It feels like a horror movie
  2017. when you see someone...
  2018.  
  2019. 429
  2020. 00:24:18,413 --> 00:24:19,762
  2021. something's about to happen.
  2022.  
  2023. 430
  2024. 00:24:25,072 --> 00:24:28,075
  2025. Sean: After I saw the video,
  2026. I felt paranoid.
  2027.  
  2028. 431
  2029. 00:24:28,379 --> 00:24:31,208
  2030. And I had a nightmare, and like,
  2031. there was clowns in my house,
  2032.  
  2033. 432
  2034. 00:24:31,382 --> 00:24:33,515
  2035. and, like, you couldn't see
  2036. them, but you could see
  2037.  
  2038. 433
  2039. 00:24:33,689 --> 00:24:37,171
  2040. a shadow of them walk by
  2041. and it was, like, very creepy.
  2042.  
  2043. 434
  2044. 00:24:37,824 --> 00:24:40,087
  2045. And it made me, like,
  2046. very scared.
  2047.  
  2048. 435
  2049. 00:24:40,304 --> 00:24:42,481
  2050. I took out my box spring.
  2051.  
  2052. 436
  2053. 00:24:42,742 --> 00:24:46,180
  2054. I slept just on the floor
  2055. on my mattress and everything.
  2056.  
  2057. 437
  2058. 00:24:46,441 --> 00:24:48,399
  2059. I didn't want anything
  2060. underneath my bed
  2061.  
  2062. 438
  2063. 00:24:48,574 --> 00:24:50,619
  2064. because I just don't wanna
  2065. wake up in the middle
  2066.  
  2067. 439
  2068. 00:24:50,837 --> 00:24:54,362
  2069. of the night and there be
  2070. a clown sitting there,
  2071.  
  2072. 440
  2073. 00:24:54,797 --> 00:24:57,408
  2074. and I don't wanna...
  2075. ...start screaming.
  2076.  
  2077. 441
  2078. 00:24:58,235 --> 00:25:01,021
  2079. Sean: We ordered boxes
  2080. and I put it in my closet
  2081.  
  2082. 442
  2083. 00:25:01,674 --> 00:25:04,372
  2084. just so nothing could get
  2085. in my closet,
  2086.  
  2087. 443
  2088. 00:25:04,807 --> 00:25:07,767
  2089. nothing could be under my bed.
  2090. I just felt more safe.
  2091.  
  2092. 444
  2093. 00:25:08,332 --> 00:25:10,030
  2094. And locked my windows.
  2095.  
  2096. 445
  2097. 00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:16,166
  2098. It kinda sucks to not be able
  2099. to feel safe at your own house.
  2100.  
  2101. 446
  2102. 00:25:30,224 --> 00:25:33,357
  2103. - Girl: Hello, Wrinkles.
  2104.  
  2105. 447
  2106. 00:25:33,532 --> 00:25:37,100
  2107. I need you to come to my house and kidnap a little girl.
  2108.  
  2109. 448
  2110. 00:26:01,081 --> 00:26:02,952
  2111. Girl: What did we do
  2112. to deserve this?
  2113.  
  2114. 449
  2115. 00:26:21,928 --> 00:26:23,843
  2116. Funky: Scaring kids,
  2117. scaring people...
  2118.  
  2119. 450
  2120. 00:26:24,017 --> 00:26:25,496
  2121. I don't know what kind
  2122. of parents would do that.
  2123.  
  2124. 451
  2125. 00:26:25,671 --> 00:26:26,889
  2126. No parent I know.
  2127.  
  2128. 452
  2129. 00:26:27,194 --> 00:26:30,458
  2130. Talcum powder,
  2131. put it in a sock to set...
  2132.  
  2133. 453
  2134. 00:26:31,851 --> 00:26:34,201
  2135. 'cause you wanna be matte,
  2136. you don't wanna be shiny.
  2137.  
  2138. 454
  2139. 00:26:35,028 --> 00:26:37,421
  2140. Real clowning is putting on
  2141. greasepaint makeup...
  2142.  
  2143. 455
  2144. 00:26:38,814 --> 00:26:40,381
  2145. putting the money
  2146. into the costumes,
  2147.  
  2148. 456
  2149. 00:26:40,555 --> 00:26:42,383
  2150. into your craft, having the right kind of heart,
  2151.  
  2152. 457
  2153. 00:26:42,644 --> 00:26:45,081
  2154. and your goal is
  2155. to make people smile.
  2156.  
  2157. 458
  2158. 00:26:45,255 --> 00:26:46,474
  2159. Make people laugh.
  2160.  
  2161. 459
  2162. 00:26:46,779 --> 00:26:48,432
  2163. That's a lot harder
  2164. than scaring people.
  2165.  
  2166. 460
  2167. 00:26:50,652 --> 00:26:54,525
  2168. Narrator: Now, a circus clown likes to have a full half hour
  2169.  
  2170. 461
  2171. 00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:55,962
  2172. for putting it on his face.
  2173.  
  2174. 462
  2175. 00:26:56,658 --> 00:26:58,051
  2176. Benjamin: The sort
  2177. of default clown
  2178.  
  2179. 463
  2180. 00:26:58,268 --> 00:26:59,400
  2181. that most Americans
  2182. are familiar with
  2183.  
  2184. 464
  2185. 00:26:59,574 --> 00:27:01,010
  2186. is the happy clown.
  2187.  
  2188. 465
  2189. 00:27:01,315 --> 00:27:02,664
  2190. And this is because of, like, Bozo the Clown.
  2191.  
  2192. 466
  2193. 00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:05,319
  2194. The Happy Birthday Clown.
  2195.  
  2196. 467
  2197. 00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:08,061
  2198. We love the trickster figure. We love the figure
  2199.  
  2200. 468
  2201. 00:27:08,235 --> 00:27:09,889
  2202. that makes us think
  2203. and makes us laugh
  2204.  
  2205. 469
  2206. 00:27:10,063 --> 00:27:11,412
  2207. and maybe embarrasses us.
  2208.  
  2209. 470
  2210. 00:27:11,934 --> 00:27:13,849
  2211. Narrator: These clowns
  2212. are trying out a new act.
  2213.  
  2214. 471
  2215. 00:27:14,023 --> 00:27:16,547
  2216. Benjamin: Historically,
  2217. clowns operated in silence.
  2218.  
  2219. 472
  2220. 00:27:17,070 --> 00:27:19,115
  2221. And part of that goes back
  2222. to their nature
  2223.  
  2224. 473
  2225. 00:27:19,289 --> 00:27:20,551
  2226. and their role in the circus.
  2227.  
  2228. 474
  2229. 00:27:21,509 --> 00:27:23,337
  2230. They're exaggerated.
  2231. They're over the top.
  2232.  
  2233. 475
  2234. 00:27:23,511 --> 00:27:24,555
  2235. They're hyper human.
  2236.  
  2237. 476
  2238. 00:27:25,165 --> 00:27:26,427
  2239. They can do these weird,
  2240. bizarre
  2241.  
  2242. 477
  2243. 00:27:26,601 --> 00:27:28,472
  2244. seemingly supernatural things.
  2245.  
  2246. 478
  2247. 00:27:28,995 --> 00:27:30,692
  2248. We know that there's
  2249. a human underneath
  2250.  
  2251. 479
  2252. 00:27:30,910 --> 00:27:32,955
  2253. the greasepaint and the wig
  2254. and whatever else,
  2255.  
  2256. 480
  2257. 00:27:33,564 --> 00:27:36,480
  2258. and yet, there's something
  2259. unnatural about them,
  2260.  
  2261. 481
  2262. 00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:38,004
  2263. something inhuman.
  2264.  
  2265. 482
  2266. 00:27:39,614 --> 00:27:41,094
  2267. On one hand, they're
  2268. presenting themselves
  2269.  
  2270. 483
  2271. 00:27:41,268 --> 00:27:43,923
  2272. to the public as happy
  2273. and goofy.
  2274.  
  2275. 484
  2276. 00:27:44,706 --> 00:27:47,535
  2277. On the other hand, of course, we know that that's an act.
  2278.  
  2279. 485
  2280. 00:27:48,144 --> 00:27:49,711
  2281. You don't know their identity,
  2282.  
  2283. 486
  2284. 00:27:49,885 --> 00:27:51,278
  2285. you don't know what
  2286. their intentions are,
  2287.  
  2288. 487
  2289. 00:27:51,452 --> 00:27:52,366
  2290. you don't know what
  2291. they're gonna do
  2292.  
  2293. 488
  2294. 00:27:52,540 --> 00:27:53,846
  2295. and that creeps people out.
  2296.  
  2297. 489
  2298. 00:27:54,020 --> 00:27:55,456
  2299. When you add in the access
  2300. to children,
  2301.  
  2302. 490
  2303. 00:27:55,630 --> 00:27:57,197
  2304. - that just amps it up.
  2305.  
  2306. 491
  2307. 00:27:57,414 --> 00:28:00,591
  2308. Did you like that?
  2309. Oh, heart is just going wild.
  2310.  
  2311. 492
  2312. 00:28:00,809 --> 00:28:02,376
  2313. I do have a fear of clowns.
  2314.  
  2315. 493
  2316. 00:28:02,550 --> 00:28:05,074
  2317. I do have coulrophobia
  2318. which is the fear of clowns.
  2319.  
  2320. 494
  2321. 00:28:05,553 --> 00:28:09,209
  2322. Their face is painted
  2323. and it's scary, like,
  2324.  
  2325. 495
  2326. 00:28:09,383 --> 00:28:10,601
  2327. what are you gonna do?
  2328.  
  2329. 496
  2330. 00:28:11,124 --> 00:28:13,169
  2331. You remember when I dressed up
  2332. as a clown to scare you?
  2333.  
  2334. 497
  2335. 00:28:13,387 --> 00:28:15,824
  2336. - No.
  2337. - Well, I do. And you screamed
  2338.  
  2339. 498
  2340. 00:28:15,998 --> 00:28:17,913
  2341. and fell backwards,
  2342. and laid there.
  2343.  
  2344. 499
  2345. 00:28:20,089 --> 00:28:22,222
  2346. Benjamin: It's a mistake to ask
  2347. "When did clowns go bad?"
  2348.  
  2349. 500
  2350. 00:28:22,396 --> 00:28:24,398
  2351. because the evil side
  2352. has always been there.
  2353.  
  2354. 501
  2355. 00:28:24,964 --> 00:28:27,401
  2356. One of the most famous
  2357. evil clowns historically
  2358.  
  2359. 502
  2360. 00:28:27,575 --> 00:28:29,882
  2361. is Mr. Punch, the star
  2362. of The Punch and Judy shows,
  2363.  
  2364. 503
  2365. 00:28:30,056 --> 00:28:32,841
  2366. which have been popular
  2367. in England for centuries.
  2368.  
  2369. 504
  2370. 00:28:33,015 --> 00:28:35,844
  2371. These two puppets are just
  2372. nasty, and abusive,
  2373.  
  2374. 505
  2375. 00:28:36,018 --> 00:28:39,152
  2376. and vile, and homicidal.
  2377.  
  2378. 506
  2379. 00:28:39,413 --> 00:28:42,503
  2380. And it's a kid show.
  2381. And kids love it!
  2382.  
  2383. 507
  2384. 00:28:43,069 --> 00:28:44,592
  2385. So when you see
  2386. these evil clowns
  2387.  
  2388. 508
  2389. 00:28:44,766 --> 00:28:46,725
  2390. come out in culture,
  2391. in pop culture, in movies,
  2392.  
  2393. 509
  2394. 00:28:46,899 --> 00:28:49,249
  2395. and films, and things like that,
  2396. it's really hearkening back
  2397.  
  2398. 510
  2399. 00:28:49,423 --> 00:28:52,382
  2400. to a more genuine part
  2401. of the clown.
  2402.  
  2403. 511
  2404. 00:28:53,427 --> 00:28:54,428
  2405. You can call me...
  2406.  
  2407. 512
  2408. 00:28:55,516 --> 00:28:57,605
  2409. - Joker.
  2410.  
  2411. 513
  2412. 00:28:59,825 --> 00:29:01,609
  2413. Woman: No!
  2414.  
  2415. 514
  2416. 00:29:15,797 --> 00:29:17,233
  2417. - Man 2: Man down!
  2418.  
  2419. 515
  2420. 00:29:22,325 --> 00:29:24,980
  2421. - And when you're down here
  2422.  
  2423. 516
  2424. 00:29:25,633 --> 00:29:29,419
  2425. with me, you'll float too.
  2426.  
  2427. 517
  2428. 00:29:32,248 --> 00:29:34,642
  2429. - You'll float, too!
  2430.  
  2431. 518
  2432. 00:29:38,602 --> 00:29:41,083
  2433. Funky: Today, I just came
  2434. from face painting at a party,
  2435.  
  2436. 519
  2437. 00:29:41,301 --> 00:29:43,651
  2438. and like six of the boys
  2439. wanted to be Pennywise.
  2440.  
  2441. 520
  2442. 00:29:45,522 --> 00:29:47,263
  2443. There's a whole generation
  2444. growing up
  2445.  
  2446. 521
  2447. 00:29:48,090 --> 00:29:50,614
  2448. with no positive image
  2449. of a clown whatsoever.
  2450.  
  2451. 522
  2452. 00:29:52,529 --> 00:29:54,183
  2453. I go to a party,
  2454. I make people laugh
  2455.  
  2456. 523
  2457. 00:29:54,357 --> 00:29:55,881
  2458. and I make cool stuff like this.
  2459.  
  2460. 524
  2461. 00:29:56,055 --> 00:29:57,273
  2462. And get bunch of kids
  2463. walking around with these.
  2464.  
  2465. 525
  2466. 00:29:58,927 --> 00:30:02,061
  2467. 3-D!
  2468.  
  2469. 526
  2470. 00:30:02,931 --> 00:30:04,280
  2471. Cool.
  2472.  
  2473. 527
  2474. 00:30:04,715 --> 00:30:08,415
  2475. Slap on a mask, you have
  2476. this empowerment to make people
  2477.  
  2478. 528
  2479. 00:30:08,632 --> 00:30:11,461
  2480. react to you, you know?
  2481. And that's a powerful thing.
  2482.  
  2483. 529
  2484. 00:30:12,506 --> 00:30:15,552
  2485. You know. But that's
  2486. what terrorism is.
  2487.  
  2488. 530
  2489. 00:30:17,119 --> 00:30:18,773
  2490. Funky: Real clowns
  2491. are not scary.
  2492.  
  2493. 531
  2494. 00:30:22,211 --> 00:30:23,343
  2495. Man: John Gacy,
  2496.  
  2497. 532
  2498. 00:30:23,952 --> 00:30:25,214
  2499. a man who liked to put on
  2500. a clown suit
  2501.  
  2502. 533
  2503. 00:30:25,388 --> 00:30:26,825
  2504. and entertain children.
  2505.  
  2506. 534
  2507. 00:30:26,999 --> 00:30:28,870
  2508. Now, he is charged
  2509. with one murder...
  2510.  
  2511. 535
  2512. 00:30:29,044 --> 00:30:31,220
  2513. and the police have found,
  2514. at last count,
  2515.  
  2516. 536
  2517. 00:30:31,481 --> 00:30:34,833
  2518. 27 bodies buried
  2519. under his house and garage
  2520.  
  2521. 537
  2522. 00:30:35,050 --> 00:30:36,835
  2523. and two more in a nearby river.
  2524.  
  2525. 538
  2526. 00:30:43,406 --> 00:30:46,496
  2527. Benjamin: In the 1980s,
  2528. soon after John Wayne Gacy,
  2529.  
  2530. 539
  2531. 00:30:46,714 --> 00:30:49,760
  2532. rumors and stories circulated that there were clowns,
  2533.  
  2534. 540
  2535. 00:30:49,935 --> 00:30:51,719
  2536. often groups of them
  2537. in white vans,
  2538.  
  2539. 541
  2540. 00:30:52,459 --> 00:30:54,809
  2541. that were circling around
  2542. trying to abduct kids.
  2543.  
  2544. 542
  2545. 00:30:56,289 --> 00:30:57,507
  2546. And it spread.
  2547.  
  2548. 543
  2549. 00:31:00,293 --> 00:31:02,121
  2550. In each case you had
  2551. these rumors
  2552.  
  2553. 544
  2554. 00:31:02,295 --> 00:31:04,210
  2555. in the school districts,
  2556. in the communities
  2557.  
  2558. 545
  2559. 00:31:04,384 --> 00:31:06,560
  2560. often shared in the news media
  2561.  
  2562. 546
  2563. 00:31:06,734 --> 00:31:09,824
  2564. and by parents who would
  2565. call, panicked.
  2566.  
  2567. 547
  2568. 00:31:11,652 --> 00:31:14,307
  2569. A van of clowns trying
  2570. to abduct kids?
  2571.  
  2572. 548
  2573. 00:31:14,568 --> 00:31:15,961
  2574. Of course you're gonna
  2575. freak out.
  2576.  
  2577. 549
  2578. 00:31:16,135 --> 00:31:17,223
  2579. Who wouldn't freak out?
  2580.  
  2581. 550
  2582. 00:31:44,337 --> 00:31:46,078
  2583. Wrinkles: I started off
  2584. Wrinkles The Clown
  2585.  
  2586. 551
  2587. 00:31:46,252 --> 00:31:49,081
  2588. just as, you know, something
  2589. to keep me occupied
  2590.  
  2591. 552
  2592. 00:31:49,255 --> 00:31:50,734
  2593. as, you know, retired
  2594. and whatnot.
  2595.  
  2596. 553
  2597. 00:31:54,434 --> 00:31:56,697
  2598. You know, I did the face makeup and everything,
  2599.  
  2600. 554
  2601. 00:31:56,871 --> 00:31:58,568
  2602. but after a while,
  2603. especially living down here,
  2604.  
  2605. 555
  2606. 00:31:58,742 --> 00:32:00,179
  2607. the face makeup,
  2608. it just melts off.
  2609.  
  2610. 556
  2611. 00:32:08,535 --> 00:32:11,146
  2612. You know, no one was hiring me
  2613. when I was just a regular clown.
  2614.  
  2615. 557
  2616. 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,495
  2617. I just thought, yeah, you know,
  2618.  
  2619. 558
  2620. 00:32:12,669 --> 00:32:14,062
  2621. maybe I'll give it
  2622. a little edge.
  2623.  
  2624. 559
  2625. 00:32:15,281 --> 00:32:17,109
  2626. Something different. All these clowns are the same,
  2627.  
  2628. 560
  2629. 00:32:17,283 --> 00:32:18,414
  2630. it's kind of boring.
  2631.  
  2632. 561
  2633. 00:32:29,643 --> 00:32:31,688
  2634. Saw this one mask on eBay and...
  2635.  
  2636. 562
  2637. 00:32:32,124 --> 00:32:33,734
  2638. I don't know, I just liked
  2639. the way it looked.
  2640.  
  2641. 563
  2642. 00:32:33,995 --> 00:32:35,736
  2643. Looked, uh...
  2644. It was somewhere between, like,
  2645.  
  2646. 564
  2647. 00:32:35,910 --> 00:32:38,086
  2648. Michael Myers
  2649. and my grandfather.
  2650.  
  2651. 565
  2652. 00:32:38,260 --> 00:32:39,740
  2653. And I was like, "Hey,
  2654. that's pretty funny.
  2655.  
  2656. 566
  2657. 00:32:39,914 --> 00:32:42,264
  2658. It's kind of creepy, it's kinda
  2659. got everything I need."
  2660.  
  2661. 567
  2662. 00:32:42,438 --> 00:32:44,005
  2663. So I gave it a try.
  2664.  
  2665. 568
  2666. 00:32:47,835 --> 00:32:49,924
  2667. I'm outside. I had
  2668. to come tell my mama
  2669.  
  2670. 569
  2671. 00:32:50,098 --> 00:32:51,534
  2672. that it powered off.
  2673.  
  2674. 570
  2675. 00:32:52,187 --> 00:32:53,406
  2676. I'm a comedian
  2677.  
  2678. 571
  2679. 00:32:53,754 --> 00:32:57,279
  2680. and I can make people laugh
  2681. very easily.
  2682.  
  2683. 572
  2684. 00:32:57,497 --> 00:32:59,281
  2685. I can do a funny face.
  2686.  
  2687. 573
  2688. 00:33:06,810 --> 00:33:08,682
  2689. Rena: When I was
  2690. eight years old,
  2691.  
  2692. 574
  2693. 00:33:08,943 --> 00:33:10,945
  2694. I first heard about Wrinkles
  2695.  
  2696. 575
  2697. 00:33:11,119 --> 00:33:14,209
  2698. and I was, like,
  2699. very freaked out.
  2700.  
  2701. 576
  2702. 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,212
  2703. I was kind of scared
  2704.  
  2705. 577
  2706. 00:33:17,386 --> 00:33:19,606
  2707. that he would come
  2708. to my house or something.
  2709.  
  2710. 578
  2711. 00:33:19,954 --> 00:33:20,824
  2712. Wrinkles.
  2713.  
  2714. 579
  2715. 00:33:21,608 --> 00:33:23,001
  2716. What you want, bruh?
  2717.  
  2718. 580
  2719. 00:33:23,392 --> 00:33:24,741
  2720. Do you wanna fight?
  2721.  
  2722. 581
  2723. 00:33:25,438 --> 00:33:27,005
  2724. Come over to Georgia, okay?
  2725.  
  2726. 582
  2727. 00:33:28,223 --> 00:33:29,703
  2728. - Rena: Mom?
  2729. - Cheryl: Yeah?
  2730.  
  2731. 583
  2732. 00:33:30,182 --> 00:33:31,574
  2733. Rena: And I'm
  2734. not telling you my address
  2735.  
  2736. 584
  2737. 00:33:31,748 --> 00:33:33,837
  2738. so you might as well
  2739. find my address.
  2740.  
  2741. 585
  2742. 00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:35,361
  2743. I have a mama...
  2744.  
  2745. 586
  2746. 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:37,711
  2747. that's crippled...
  2748.  
  2749. 587
  2750. 00:33:39,060 --> 00:33:40,583
  2751. but I can still fight back.
  2752.  
  2753. 588
  2754. 00:33:41,323 --> 00:33:44,239
  2755. I have a dog that's named Halo. Where is she?
  2756.  
  2757. 589
  2758. 00:33:44,413 --> 00:33:45,893
  2759. Cheryl: Rena, hang the phone up.
  2760.  
  2761. 590
  2762. 00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:52,204
  2763. Don't you make me drop you.
  2764.  
  2765. 591
  2766. 00:33:54,858 --> 00:33:57,122
  2767. Fiona, can I borrow some
  2768. of your cat food? Okay.
  2769.  
  2770. 592
  2771. 00:34:07,741 --> 00:34:08,916
  2772. Rena: Good girl.
  2773.  
  2774. 593
  2775. 00:34:09,786 --> 00:34:11,440
  2776. Rena:
  2777. What you gonna do?
  2778.  
  2779. 594
  2780. 00:34:12,093 --> 00:34:14,313
  2781. 'Cause who cares about you?
  2782.  
  2783. 595
  2784. 00:34:14,487 --> 00:34:16,445
  2785. You need to be in jail
  2786. right now.
  2787.  
  2788. 596
  2789. 00:34:16,619 --> 00:34:17,838
  2790. - Rena: Say something.
  2791.  
  2792. 597
  2793. 00:34:18,752 --> 00:34:20,275
  2794. Cheryl: Quit messing
  2795. with these children.
  2796.  
  2797. 598
  2798. 00:34:22,103 --> 00:34:24,105
  2799. Rena: Stop. I'm about
  2800. to come up there
  2801.  
  2802. 599
  2803. 00:34:24,323 --> 00:34:26,151
  2804. - and whoop your ass right now.
  2805.  
  2806. 600
  2807. 00:34:27,587 --> 00:34:28,892
  2808. I'm sorry.
  2809.  
  2810. 601
  2811. 00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:31,330
  2812. Rena: Because who cares
  2813. about you?
  2814.  
  2815. 602
  2816. 00:34:31,808 --> 00:34:35,682
  2817. I care about God and you care about the devil or something?
  2818.  
  2819. 603
  2820. 00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:37,988
  2821. Yes, he does.
  2822.  
  2823. 604
  2824. 00:34:38,641 --> 00:34:40,426
  2825. - I said the "A" word.
  2826. - Rena: You can say I am,
  2827.  
  2828. 605
  2829. 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,167
  2830. - but I'm not...
  2831. - Cheryl: Well, I had no idea
  2832.  
  2833. 606
  2834. 00:34:42,341 --> 00:34:45,387
  2835. that she was talking
  2836. to actual Wrinkles, you know.
  2837.  
  2838. 607
  2839. 00:34:45,561 --> 00:34:47,781
  2840. Rena: I wasn't talking to him.
  2841. I left a voicemail.
  2842.  
  2843. 608
  2844. 00:34:47,955 --> 00:34:49,043
  2845. Yeah.
  2846.  
  2847. 609
  2848. 00:34:49,696 --> 00:34:52,481
  2849. I'm scared about another
  2850. cuss word or something.
  2851.  
  2852. 610
  2853. 00:34:53,569 --> 00:34:55,049
  2854. Cheryl: Well,
  2855. they've already heard it.
  2856.  
  2857. 611
  2858. 00:34:55,615 --> 00:34:58,139
  2859. That's just crazy. It's funny.
  2860.  
  2861. 612
  2862. 00:34:58,357 --> 00:34:59,749
  2863. - But, uh...
  2864.  
  2865. 613
  2866. 00:34:59,923 --> 00:35:02,491
  2867. Yeah, at that time,
  2868. I remember last year.
  2869.  
  2870. 614
  2871. 00:35:02,926 --> 00:35:05,973
  2872. Clowns are meant to be,
  2873. you know, funny,
  2874.  
  2875. 615
  2876. 00:35:06,234 --> 00:35:10,717
  2877. uh, running around the rodeos,
  2878. and acting a fool,
  2879.  
  2880. 616
  2881. 00:35:10,934 --> 00:35:13,807
  2882. and at birthday parties.
  2883. Honk, honk, honk, honk.
  2884.  
  2885. 617
  2886. 00:35:14,024 --> 00:35:17,115
  2887. - Rena: Honk.
  2888. - Not out trying to hurt people.
  2889.  
  2890. 618
  2891. 00:35:18,420 --> 00:35:21,945
  2892. Scaring children.
  2893. They could grow up...
  2894.  
  2895. 619
  2896. 00:35:23,208 --> 00:35:25,427
  2897. being traumatized
  2898. by something like that.
  2899.  
  2900. 620
  2901. 00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:29,083
  2902. Not only liking clowns, but just
  2903.  
  2904. 621
  2905. 00:35:29,257 --> 00:35:33,348
  2906. - not trusting people and stuff.
  2907. - I need to grab me something.
  2908.  
  2909. 622
  2910. 00:35:42,966 --> 00:35:45,621
  2911. Rena: I just had a nightmare
  2912. last night.
  2913.  
  2914. 623
  2915. 00:35:45,795 --> 00:35:46,622
  2916. Hello.
  2917.  
  2918. 624
  2919. 00:35:47,449 --> 00:35:49,451
  2920. My dad got...
  2921.  
  2922. 625
  2923. 00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:55,240
  2924. killed by Wrinkles and he, like,
  2925. locked him up
  2926.  
  2927. 626
  2928. 00:35:55,414 --> 00:35:57,720
  2929. in a basement or something.
  2930.  
  2931. 627
  2932. 00:35:59,287 --> 00:36:02,725
  2933. If I would have found him,
  2934. I'm for real...
  2935.  
  2936. 628
  2937. 00:36:03,770 --> 00:36:07,121
  2938. I'll see how he likes it
  2939. in the basement.
  2940.  
  2941. 629
  2942. 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,081
  2943. Hi, baby.
  2944.  
  2945. 630
  2946. 00:36:16,391 --> 00:36:18,350
  2947. I've been trying to get her
  2948. to lay on her back.
  2949.  
  2950. 631
  2951. 00:36:25,574 --> 00:36:26,445
  2952. There she goes.
  2953.  
  2954. 632
  2955. 00:36:27,750 --> 00:36:29,578
  2956. She was laying on her back.
  2957.  
  2958. 633
  2959. 00:36:31,145 --> 00:36:35,149
  2960. I also think Wrinkles wants
  2961. to have fun...
  2962.  
  2963. 634
  2964. 00:36:37,064 --> 00:36:38,196
  2965. but it's not working...
  2966.  
  2967. 635
  2968. 00:36:40,110 --> 00:36:42,809
  2969. because he's killing kids.
  2970.  
  2971. 636
  2972. 00:36:48,075 --> 00:36:50,686
  2973. Rena: He took a little kid home
  2974. and killed him...
  2975.  
  2976. 637
  2977. 00:36:53,994 --> 00:36:58,781
  2978. and probably made artwork with blood all over the wall.
  2979.  
  2980. 638
  2981. 00:37:06,746 --> 00:37:09,444
  2982. Girl: No.
  2983.  
  2984. 639
  2985. 00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:31,466
  2986. Girl: I'm here.
  2987.  
  2988. 640
  2989. 00:37:44,131 --> 00:37:46,568
  2990. Wrinkles: Well, Florida's just
  2991. basically a fucking giant swamp
  2992.  
  2993. 641
  2994. 00:37:46,742 --> 00:37:48,788
  2995. with houses, you know,
  2996. like, just strung about,
  2997.  
  2998. 642
  2999. 00:37:49,092 --> 00:37:51,094
  3000. a lot of shopping,
  3001. a lot of, uh...
  3002.  
  3003. 643
  3004. 00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:53,314
  3005. a lot of stores
  3006. that nobody needs.
  3007.  
  3008. 644
  3009. 00:37:54,010 --> 00:37:55,577
  3010. Yeah, it's beautiful,
  3011. don't get me wrong,
  3012.  
  3013. 645
  3014. 00:37:55,751 --> 00:37:57,797
  3015. but it's just, you know,
  3016. I'm not doing the golf
  3017.  
  3018. 646
  3019. 00:37:57,971 --> 00:37:59,755
  3020. and, you know, going
  3021. to the country club
  3022.  
  3023. 647
  3024. 00:37:59,929 --> 00:38:01,888
  3025. and things like that, you know. I just... that's just...
  3026.  
  3027. 648
  3028. 00:38:02,062 --> 00:38:04,064
  3029. I never really fit into
  3030. that kind of lifestyle.
  3031.  
  3032. 649
  3033. 00:38:25,346 --> 00:38:26,913
  3034. Wrinkles: Yeah. I don't really
  3035. do the strip club
  3036.  
  3037. 650
  3038. 00:38:27,174 --> 00:38:29,785
  3039. as much as I'd like to. Costs a lot of money, you know.
  3040.  
  3041. 651
  3042. 00:38:34,790 --> 00:38:36,488
  3043. It gets harder and harder
  3044. as you get older.
  3045.  
  3046. 652
  3047. 00:38:36,749 --> 00:38:39,055
  3048. Then you start getting lonely, you know, sometimes I dream
  3049.  
  3050. 653
  3051. 00:38:39,229 --> 00:38:42,015
  3052. about maybe having a girl to settle down with, you know?
  3053.  
  3054. 654
  3055. 00:38:42,232 --> 00:38:44,713
  3056. What am I gonna do? Have them come back to the van?
  3057.  
  3058. 655
  3059. 00:38:50,589 --> 00:38:52,199
  3060. I just wanna go out there
  3061. and have some fun,
  3062.  
  3063. 656
  3064. 00:38:52,373 --> 00:38:54,419
  3065. and, you know,
  3066. I'll do something different.
  3067.  
  3068. 657
  3069. 00:38:57,117 --> 00:38:59,293
  3070. Sometimes I go home
  3071. and I feel good about it.
  3072.  
  3073. 658
  3074. 00:38:59,511 --> 00:39:01,991
  3075. It's kind of rewarding
  3076. in a way, you know,
  3077.  
  3078. 659
  3079. 00:39:02,165 --> 00:39:04,037
  3080. and it kinda makes it worth
  3081. all the bullshit.
  3082.  
  3083. 660
  3084. 00:39:05,821 --> 00:39:08,258
  3085. But sometimes I can just
  3086. close my eyes in the mask
  3087.  
  3088. 661
  3089. 00:39:08,433 --> 00:39:09,695
  3090. and just get in my own head.
  3091.  
  3092. 662
  3093. 00:39:29,715 --> 00:39:31,717
  3094. Woman: She's got her excited
  3095. 'cause she doesn't know.
  3096.  
  3097. 663
  3098. 00:39:31,934 --> 00:39:34,023
  3099. - Girl: Yeah.
  3100. - Woman: You won. That's good.
  3101.  
  3102. 664
  3103. 00:39:34,197 --> 00:39:35,677
  3104. - Girl: I know.
  3105. - Woman 1: That's...
  3106.  
  3107. 665
  3108. 00:39:35,938 --> 00:39:37,244
  3109. - Woman 2: Guys?
  3110. - Woman 1: No. You won
  3111.  
  3112. 666
  3113. 00:39:37,418 --> 00:39:38,724
  3114. - the money.
  3115. - Woman 2: What's outside?
  3116.  
  3117. 667
  3118. 00:39:38,898 --> 00:39:39,986
  3119. - Woman 1: What?
  3120. - Man: Huh?
  3121.  
  3122. 668
  3123. 00:39:40,203 --> 00:39:41,248
  3124. Woman 2: There's
  3125. something outside.
  3126.  
  3127. 669
  3128. 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:42,771
  3129. Man: Huh?
  3130.  
  3131. 670
  3132. 00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:44,643
  3133. Woman 2: I swear there's
  3134. something outside.
  3135.  
  3136. 671
  3137. 00:39:44,817 --> 00:39:46,949
  3138. - Man: What the fuck?
  3139. - Woman 1: What?
  3140.  
  3141. 672
  3142. 00:39:47,210 --> 00:39:48,777
  3143. Man: Oh, my God.
  3144. Oh, God, God.
  3145.  
  3146. 673
  3147. 00:39:52,085 --> 00:39:54,783
  3148. - Woman 2: Stop! Do something.
  3149. - Man: Oh, my God!
  3150.  
  3151. 674
  3152. 00:39:55,218 --> 00:39:58,570
  3153. - Woman 2: Stop, stop, stop!
  3154.  
  3155. 675
  3156. 00:39:58,918 --> 00:40:00,963
  3157. - Man: Wait.
  3158.  
  3159. 676
  3160. 00:40:15,935 --> 00:40:19,155
  3161. I'd probably have
  3162. a heart attack over that.
  3163.  
  3164. 677
  3165. 00:40:26,467 --> 00:40:30,776
  3166. Yeah. That would scare me
  3167. to death.
  3168.  
  3169. 678
  3170. 00:40:31,037 --> 00:40:34,301
  3171. He was sitting on the table,
  3172. one evening, right after supper,
  3173.  
  3174. 679
  3175. 00:40:34,475 --> 00:40:36,085
  3176. and started calling him.
  3177. You know, I was afraid
  3178.  
  3179. 680
  3180. 00:40:36,259 --> 00:40:37,652
  3181. he was gonna
  3182. give him information
  3183.  
  3184. 681
  3185. 00:40:37,826 --> 00:40:40,176
  3186. and him come here, and,
  3187. you know,
  3188.  
  3189. 682
  3190. 00:40:40,350 --> 00:40:43,963
  3191. you hear all those bad stories
  3192. and... It was scary at first.
  3193.  
  3194. 683
  3195. 00:40:44,137 --> 00:40:46,444
  3196. Remember when I had to take out
  3197. my box spring...
  3198.  
  3199. 684
  3200. 00:40:46,705 --> 00:40:48,010
  3201. - Mm-hmm.
  3202. - ...because I got
  3203.  
  3204. 685
  3205. 00:40:48,576 --> 00:40:50,317
  3206. real creeped out when I saw
  3207. the video of him coming out.
  3208.  
  3209. 686
  3210. 00:40:50,491 --> 00:40:52,014
  3211. - Mm-hmm
  3212. - So we put it under your bed.
  3213.  
  3214. 687
  3215. 00:40:53,929 --> 00:40:55,278
  3216. If he's under your bed,
  3217. you can protect yourself.
  3218.  
  3219. 688
  3220. 00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:56,323
  3221. Yeah.
  3222.  
  3223. 689
  3224. 00:40:58,717 --> 00:41:01,067
  3225. The reason I'm not scared
  3226. of Wrinkles anymore
  3227.  
  3228. 690
  3229. 00:41:01,284 --> 00:41:04,374
  3230. is just I learned how to, like,
  3231. be okay with it.

  3250.  
  3251. 695
  3252. 00:41:17,475 --> 00:41:20,216

  3312. 708
  3313. 00:42:01,127 --> 00:42:04,434
  3314. just be a different person.

  3322. 710
  3323. 00:42:06,785 --> 00:42:09,831

  3325. in my school walking around,
  3326.  
  3327. 711
  3328. 00:42:10,005 --> 00:42:12,225

  3333. 00:42:12,399 --> 00:42:14,793
  3334. a completely different person

  3683. - Boy 3: Who are you?
  3684.  
  3685. 786
  3686. 00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:59,626
  3687. Boy 4: Who are you, and can you tell me your real name please?
  3688.  
  3689. 787
  3690. 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,150
  3691. Boy 5: You're just this weird
  3692. old man probably.
  3693.  
  3694. 788
  3695. 00:46:02,324 --> 00:46:04,022
  3696. Girl 2: Why do you have
  3697. to wear a mask?
  3698.  
  3699. 789
  3700. 00:46:08,766 --> 00:46:10,115
  3701. Man: You don't know
  3702. if he's a good person
  3703.  
  3704. 790
  3705. 00:46:10,289 --> 00:46:11,769
  3706. or if he has bad intentions.
  3707.  
  3708. 791
  3709. 00:46:12,073 --> 00:46:14,162
  3710. You don't know if he's trying to do this for fun
  3711.  
  3712. 792
  3713. 00:46:14,423 --> 00:46:15,773
  3714. or trying kill you.
  3715.  
  3716. 793
  3717. 00:46:15,947 --> 00:46:17,296
  3718. Boy: Who are you
  3719. under that mask?
  3720.  
  3721. 794
  3722. 00:46:17,513 --> 00:46:19,428
  3723. Who are you under that mask?
  3724.  
  3725. 795
  3726. 00:46:19,602 --> 00:46:21,474
  3727. Can you let me see
  3728. under that mask?
  3729.  
  3730. 796
  3731. 00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:24,782
  3732. Can I get who... who are you?
  3733.  
  3734. 797
  3735. 00:46:25,608 --> 00:46:27,001
  3736. Cyera: When he's a clown,
  3737. he could live
  3738.  
  3739. 798
  3740. 00:46:27,436 --> 00:46:30,222
  3741. in the middle of a shack.
  3742. Whenever he's a regular person,
  3743.  
  3744. 799
  3745. 00:46:30,396 --> 00:46:31,789
  3746. he could be living
  3747. in a big, old house
  3748.  
  3749. 800
  3750. 00:46:31,963 --> 00:46:33,399
  3751. in the middle of town
  3752. in Florida.
  3753.  
  3754. 801
  3755. 00:46:33,921 --> 00:46:35,618
  3756. My friends have said
  3757. that he's been working like this
  3758.  
  3759. 802
  3760. 00:46:35,793 --> 00:46:38,056
  3761. - for over, like, 65 years.
  3762. - It's also funny to imagine
  3763.  
  3764. 803
  3765. 00:46:38,230 --> 00:46:40,188
  3766. that he refuses to drive
  3767. or take cars.
  3768.  
  3769. 804
  3770. 00:46:40,362 --> 00:46:42,321
  3771. He just walks around everywhere.
  3772.  
  3773. 805
  3774. 00:46:45,454 --> 00:46:47,413
  3775. You can call him.
  3776. He will scare people for you,
  3777.  
  3778. 806
  3779. 00:46:47,587 --> 00:46:50,111
  3780. and he's pretty scary himself.
  3781.  
  3782. 807
  3783. 00:46:50,285 --> 00:46:52,200
  3784. And it's sort of like
  3785. a Bogeyman-man type, uh,
  3786.  
  3787. 808
  3788. 00:46:52,374 --> 00:46:55,508
  3789. type situation,
  3790. except actually existent.
  3791.  
  3792. 809
  3793. 00:46:55,682 --> 00:47:00,339
  3794. Rena: He probably, on Halloween,
  3795. he's like very scary,
  3796.  
  3797. 810
  3798. 00:47:00,513 --> 00:47:03,298
  3799. but on New Year's,
  3800. he's, like, very happy
  3801.  
  3802. 811
  3803. 00:47:04,343 --> 00:47:06,301
  3804. because it's a new year
  3805. to scare kids.
  3806.  
  3807. 812
  3808. 00:47:07,346 --> 00:47:09,304
  3809. There's two people in his body.
  3810. Multiple personality.
  3811.  
  3812. 813
  3813. 00:47:09,478 --> 00:47:11,132
  3814. It's like bipolar disorder
  3815. or something.
  3816.  
  3817. 814
  3818. 00:47:13,178 --> 00:47:15,223
  3819. You could be sitting
  3820. beside a murderer
  3821.  
  3822. 815
  3823. 00:47:15,397 --> 00:47:16,355
  3824. and not even knowing it.
  3825.  
  3826. 816
  3827. 00:48:29,341 --> 00:48:31,734
  3828. - Man 1: Jamie!
  3829. - Woman 1: Jamie!
  3830.  
  3831. 817
  3832. 00:48:31,909 --> 00:48:34,259
  3833. - Man 2: Jamie!
  3834. - Woman 2: Jamie!
  3835.  
  3836. 818
  3837. 00:48:46,924 --> 00:48:49,143
  3838. - Man 1: Jamie!
  3839. - Woman 1: Jamie!
  3840.  
  3841. 819
  3842. 00:48:50,318 --> 00:48:51,580
  3843. - Man 2: Jamie!
  3844. - Woman 2: Jamie!
  3845.  
  3846. 820
  3847. 00:48:51,754 --> 00:48:54,627
  3848. - Man 1: Jamie!
  3849.  
  3850. 821
  3851. 00:49:11,774 --> 00:49:13,124
  3852. - Man: Yeah?
  3853. - All right.
  3854.  
  3855. 822
  3856. 00:49:13,341 --> 00:49:14,952
  3857. How am I gonna know
  3858. when I'm not in frame,
  3859.  
  3860. 823
  3861. 00:49:15,126 --> 00:49:16,954
  3862. or are you guys gonna be able
  3863. to cut that or if you...
  3864.  
  3865. 824
  3866. 00:49:17,215 --> 00:49:18,651
  3867. Man: That's all... yeah,
  3868. it's all mic check...
  3869.  
  3870. 825
  3871. 00:49:18,825 --> 00:49:20,305
  3872. - Don't worry about it all.
  3873. - Okay. All right.
  3874.  
  3875. 826
  3876. 00:49:20,479 --> 00:49:21,567
  3877. - Man: Mic will move around it.
  3878. - Lambert: Roger.
  3879.  
  3880. 827
  3881. 00:49:30,358 --> 00:49:31,751
  3882. - Lambert: We good?
  3883. - Man: Yes. Action.
  3884.  
  3885. 828
  3886. 00:49:45,852 --> 00:49:47,158
  3887. Wrinkles: I'm Wrinkles
  3888. the Clown.
  3889.  
  3890. 829
  3891. 00:49:48,246 --> 00:49:50,857
  3892. I'm not a 65 year old man.
  3893.  
  3894. 830
  3895. 00:49:51,118 --> 00:49:52,163
  3896. - Ready.
  3897. - Action.
  3898.  
  3899. 831
  3900. 00:49:55,383 --> 00:49:57,124
  3901. Wrinkles: You know,
  3902. the actor that was chosen
  3903.  
  3904. 832
  3905. 00:49:57,298 --> 00:50:00,214
  3906. to represent the myth
  3907. of Wrinkles under the mask,
  3908.  
  3909. 833
  3910. 00:50:00,388 --> 00:50:02,390
  3911. I think he was a perfect match.
  3912.  
  3913. 834
  3914. 00:50:02,564 --> 00:50:05,306
  3915. I think he embodies what Wrinkles would look like.
  3916.  
  3917. 835
  3918. 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,178
  3919. He has wrinkles
  3920. on all the right spots.
  3921.  
  3922. 836
  3923. 00:50:07,352 --> 00:50:09,658
  3924. He has the gray hair.
  3925. You know, is this guy nice?
  3926.  
  3927. 837
  3928. 00:50:09,832 --> 00:50:10,964
  3929. Is this guy gonna murder me?
  3930.  
  3931. 838
  3932. 00:50:11,834 --> 00:50:13,010
  3933. And that's kind of
  3934. how Wrinkles is,
  3935.  
  3936. 839
  3937. 00:50:13,184 --> 00:50:14,185
  3938. you don't know.
  3939.  
  3940. 840
  3941. 00:50:15,447 --> 00:50:17,492
  3942. There's a number of reasons
  3943. why I think it's a good idea
  3944.  
  3945. 841
  3946. 00:50:17,666 --> 00:50:20,191
  3947. for me to keep
  3948. my identity hidden.
  3949.  
  3950. 842
  3951. 00:50:20,495 --> 00:50:22,628
  3952. I don't wanna make this project
  3953. about me.
  3954.  
  3955. 843
  3956. 00:50:22,889 --> 00:50:25,457
  3957. If people knew who was
  3958. under the mask,
  3959.  
  3960. 844
  3961. 00:50:25,805 --> 00:50:27,763
  3962. it would kind of
  3963. ruin the experience.
  3964.  
  3965. 845
  3966. 00:50:28,547 --> 00:50:31,158
  3967. Besides the fact of just trying
  3968. to preserve the mystery
  3969.  
  3970. 846
  3971. 00:50:31,332 --> 00:50:32,768
  3972. of the Wrinkles character.
  3973.  
  3974. 847
  3975. 00:50:32,942 --> 00:50:35,293
  3976. Wrinkles gets multiple
  3977. death threats a day,
  3978.  
  3979. 848
  3980. 00:50:35,902 --> 00:50:38,383
  3981. and that's fine for Wrinkles,
  3982. that's fine for the project.
  3983.  
  3984. 849
  3985. 00:50:38,818 --> 00:50:41,473
  3986. But I just don't need that
  3987. in my personal life.
  3988.  
  3989. 850
  3990. 00:50:42,648 --> 00:50:44,954
  3991. At the end of the day,
  3992. Wrinkles is just a guy in a mask
  3993.  
  3994. 851
  3995. 00:50:45,129 --> 00:50:48,784
  3996. and a suit, and these kids
  3997. and these people have taken
  3998.  
  3999. 852
  4000. 00:50:48,958 --> 00:50:50,960
  4001. the Wrinkles character
  4002. and molded it into
  4003.  
  4004. 853
  4005. 00:50:51,135 --> 00:50:53,572
  4006. what they want it to be.
  4007. Some of them think he's funny.
  4008.  
  4009. 854
  4010. 00:50:53,746 --> 00:50:56,749
  4011. Some of them think he's rude.
  4012. Some of them think he's scary.
  4013.  
  4014. 855
  4015. 00:50:57,097 --> 00:50:58,925
  4016. Some of them think he's fake.
  4017.  
  4018. 856
  4019. 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:03,016
  4020. Some of them think he's a ghost
  4021. or some kind of paranormal,
  4022.  
  4023. 857
  4024. 00:51:03,190 --> 00:51:05,888
  4025. like, apparition,
  4026. and really left it open
  4027.  
  4028. 858
  4029. 00:51:06,063 --> 00:51:08,630
  4030. to let people decide
  4031. on their own
  4032.  
  4033. 859
  4034. 00:51:08,804 --> 00:51:10,241
  4035. what they think about Wrinkles.
  4036.  
  4037. 860
  4038. 00:51:14,767 --> 00:51:16,682
  4039. I, never in a million years,
  4040. thought that anybody
  4041.  
  4042. 861
  4043. 00:51:16,856 --> 00:51:18,901
  4044. would think that Wrinkles
  4045. is a real person.
  4046.  
  4047. 862
  4048. 00:51:19,337 --> 00:51:21,948
  4049. Let alone that he scares
  4050. children for money.
  4051.  
  4052. 863
  4053. 00:51:23,906 --> 00:51:24,994
  4054. You know, I made it up.
  4055.  
  4056. 864
  4057. 00:51:27,171 --> 00:51:30,478
  4058. But I think parents that use
  4059. the Wrinkles' voicemail
  4060.  
  4061. 865
  4062. 00:51:30,652 --> 00:51:33,090
  4063. as an actual
  4064. disciplinary tactic
  4065.  
  4066. 866
  4067. 00:51:33,264 --> 00:51:35,135
  4068. to keep their children in line
  4069.  
  4070. 867
  4071. 00:51:35,353 --> 00:51:38,965
  4072. is kind of messed up.
  4073. I mean, it's not something
  4074.  
  4075. 868
  4076. 00:51:39,139 --> 00:51:40,662
  4077. that I would do as a parent.
  4078.  
  4079. 869
  4080. 00:51:40,923 --> 00:51:43,187
  4081. Um, I think it's kind
  4082. of psychologically damaging.
  4083.  
  4084. 870
  4085. 00:51:44,405 --> 00:51:47,539
  4086. Woman: Hey, I have
  4087. these two to three kids
  4088.  
  4089. 871
  4090. 00:51:47,713 --> 00:51:51,543
  4091. - that don't know how to listen.
  4092. - Boy: No.
  4093.  
  4094. 872
  4095. 00:51:51,891 --> 00:51:54,285
  4096. Woman: We'd give you the price of 30 bucks to come scare them.
  4097.  
  4098. 873
  4099. 00:51:54,459 --> 00:51:55,634
  4100. Boy: No.
  4101.  
  4102. 874
  4103. 00:51:55,982 --> 00:51:57,679
  4104. Wrinkles: You know,
  4105. it's not too far off
  4106.  
  4107. 875
  4108. 00:51:57,940 --> 00:51:59,551
  4109. from what is kind of
  4110.  
  4111. 876
  4112. 00:51:59,725 --> 00:52:02,510
  4113. already socially acceptable
  4114. with telling their kids
  4115.  
  4116. 877
  4117. 00:52:02,815 --> 00:52:04,338
  4118. that if you're
  4119. not a good person,
  4120.  
  4121. 878
  4122. 00:52:04,512 --> 00:52:07,036
  4123. or if you lie, if you cheat,
  4124. you steal, you know,
  4125.  
  4126. 879
  4127. 00:52:07,254 --> 00:52:08,951
  4128. you're going to burn in hell
  4129. for eternity.
  4130.  
  4131. 880
  4132. 00:52:09,909 --> 00:52:12,303
  4133. You know, I think
  4134. it's more cruel and unusual
  4135.  
  4136. 881
  4137. 00:52:12,477 --> 00:52:14,957
  4138. than anything that Wrinkles
  4139. has ever done
  4140.  
  4141. 882
  4142. 00:52:15,132 --> 00:52:16,481
  4143. or has ever claimed to do.
  4144.  
  4145. 883
  4146. 00:52:23,314 --> 00:52:25,229
  4147. Wrinkles: I was always just very curious as a child,
  4148.  
  4149. 884
  4150. 00:52:25,403 --> 00:52:28,232
  4151. and just very imaginative.
  4152.  
  4153. 885
  4154. 00:52:30,973 --> 00:52:33,628
  4155. Girl 1: Okay. And you put this
  4156. Wrinkles mask on.
  4157.  
  4158. 886
  4159. 00:52:37,328 --> 00:52:38,503
  4160. Girl 2: Not on me.
  4161.  
  4162. 887
  4163. 00:52:39,460 --> 00:52:40,548
  4164. Wrinkles: The clown
  4165. under the bed
  4166.  
  4167. 888
  4168. 00:52:41,027 --> 00:52:42,594
  4169. is just such a go-to
  4170.  
  4171. 889
  4172. 00:52:42,768 --> 00:52:46,424
  4173. for anyone to think of
  4174. because of how iconic it is
  4175.  
  4176. 890
  4177. 00:52:46,598 --> 00:52:49,601
  4178. going back to the Poltergeist
  4179. clown under the bed kinda thing.
  4180.  
  4181. 891
  4182. 00:52:49,775 --> 00:52:51,690
  4183. I remember, as a kid,
  4184. getting a head start
  4185.  
  4186. 892
  4187. 00:52:51,864 --> 00:52:53,518
  4188. and running into my bed
  4189. because I was afraid
  4190.  
  4191. 893
  4192. 00:52:53,692 --> 00:52:55,302
  4193. something was gonna come out
  4194. from underneath
  4195.  
  4196. 894
  4197. 00:52:55,476 --> 00:52:56,956
  4198. and grab my ankles
  4199. and pull me under,
  4200.  
  4201. 895
  4202. 00:52:57,130 --> 00:52:58,305
  4203. and that will be the end of me.
  4204.  
  4205. 896
  4206. 00:52:58,914 --> 00:53:01,265
  4207. It is a classic kind of fear.
  4208.  
  4209. 897
  4210. 00:53:02,962 --> 00:53:04,529
  4211. I tried getting
  4212. in the trundle bed,
  4213.  
  4214. 898
  4215. 00:53:04,964 --> 00:53:07,923
  4216. and I was... I was too big. We couldn't close the drawer,
  4217.  
  4218. 899
  4219. 00:53:08,794 --> 00:53:10,752
  4220. which we all kind of
  4221. got a chuckle out of, you know.
  4222.  
  4223. 900
  4224. 00:53:10,926 --> 00:53:13,538
  4225. So a friend who's a little
  4226. slimmer than I am, said,
  4227.  
  4228. 901
  4229. 00:53:13,712 --> 00:53:15,322
  4230. "Hey, you know what,
  4231. I could fit."
  4232.  
  4233. 902
  4234. 00:53:15,540 --> 00:53:17,324
  4235. "Oh All right. Well, here.
  4236. Put the costume on.
  4237.  
  4238. 903
  4239. 00:53:17,498 --> 00:53:19,805
  4240. And I'll get behind the camera and let's make this video."
  4241.  
  4242. 904
  4243. 00:53:21,459 --> 00:53:22,547
  4244. Man: All right.
  4245. Is everyone ready?
  4246.  
  4247. 905
  4248. 00:53:22,764 --> 00:53:24,375
  4249. - Girl: Yup.
  4250. - Man: All right.
  4251.  
  4252. 906
  4253. 00:53:56,798 --> 00:53:57,756
  4254. Man: Action.
  4255.  
  4256. 907
  4257. 00:54:02,456 --> 00:54:03,457
  4258. Man: Action 2.
  4259.  
  4260. 908
  4261. 00:54:03,936 --> 00:54:05,242
  4262. This video has
  4263.  
  4264. 909
  4265. 00:54:05,416 --> 00:54:06,634
  4266. a couple elements
  4267. to make it look
  4268.  
  4269. 910
  4270. 00:54:06,852 --> 00:54:08,941
  4271. more like a security camera.
  4272.  
  4273. 911
  4274. 00:54:09,376 --> 00:54:11,857
  4275. With these effects,
  4276. you can obscure things more.
  4277.  
  4278. 912
  4279. 00:54:12,249 --> 00:54:14,512
  4280. And I felt like that really
  4281. helped make the video
  4282.  
  4283. 913
  4284. 00:54:14,686 --> 00:54:15,643
  4285. more believable.
  4286.  
  4287. 914
  4288. 00:54:19,865 --> 00:54:20,735
  4289. Wrinkles: Stop for a second.
  4290.  
  4291. 915
  4292. 00:54:22,694 --> 00:54:23,738
  4293. Okay. Doing good.
  4294.  
  4295. 916
  4296. 00:54:29,962 --> 00:54:31,006
  4297. This time you're not gonna,
  4298. like, do...
  4299.  
  4300. 917
  4301. 00:54:31,180 --> 00:54:32,356
  4302. Just gonna kinda look at her.
  4303.  
  4304. 918
  4305. 00:54:32,530 --> 00:54:33,835
  4306. You're not gonna
  4307. do anything, though.
  4308.  
  4309. 919
  4310. 00:54:34,009 --> 00:54:35,402
  4311. You don't wanna do anything
  4312. too creepy.
  4313.  
  4314. 920
  4315. 00:54:35,576 --> 00:54:36,360
  4316. Maybe put a doll next to her
  4317. or something.
  4318.  
  4319. 921
  4320. 00:54:40,538 --> 00:54:42,540
  4321. Mm-hmm. Get out.
  4322. Start looking around.
  4323.  
  4324. 922
  4325. 00:54:48,154 --> 00:54:49,242
  4326. All right, stop.
  4327.  
  4328. 923
  4329. 00:54:49,895 --> 00:54:52,898
  4330. What if we just had him
  4331. grab the camera, disable it,
  4332.  
  4333. 924
  4334. 00:54:53,290 --> 00:54:55,204
  4335. and then you get to use
  4336. your imagination
  4337.  
  4338. 925
  4339. 00:54:55,379 --> 00:54:58,164
  4340. of what happened after that.
  4341. It leaves it open.
  4342.  
  4343. 926
  4344. 00:54:58,643 --> 00:55:02,429
  4345. And so it makes it
  4346. create a story.
  4347.  
  4348. 927
  4349. 00:55:02,821 --> 00:55:04,823
  4350. A story that you're going
  4351. to continue.
  4352.  
  4353. 928
  4354. 00:55:11,220 --> 00:55:12,700
  4355. Wrinkles: We always make
  4356. a lot of jokes
  4357.  
  4358. 929
  4359. 00:55:12,874 --> 00:55:14,746
  4360. about living here
  4361. in Naples, Florida.
  4362.  
  4363. 930
  4364. 00:55:15,007 --> 00:55:16,661
  4365. You know, people just come here to die,
  4366.  
  4367. 931
  4368. 00:55:16,835 --> 00:55:18,532
  4369. and if you're 70 and up,
  4370.  
  4371. 932
  4372. 00:55:18,706 --> 00:55:19,968
  4373. and you wanna play golf,
  4374.  
  4375. 933
  4376. 00:55:20,142 --> 00:55:21,840
  4377. and you wanna
  4378. be in competitions
  4379.  
  4380. 934
  4381. 00:55:22,362 --> 00:55:24,408
  4382. with your neighbor
  4383. on whose house looks nicer
  4384.  
  4385. 935
  4386. 00:55:24,582 --> 00:55:26,975
  4387. and who drives a better car,
  4388. then, yeah, Naples, Florida
  4389.  
  4390. 936
  4391. 00:55:27,149 --> 00:55:29,543
  4392. is a great place to live.
  4393. So I kind of love
  4394.  
  4395. 937
  4396. 00:55:29,717 --> 00:55:30,936
  4397. that Wrinkles...
  4398.  
  4399. 938
  4400. 00:55:31,893 --> 00:55:33,199
  4401. looked older,
  4402.  
  4403. 939
  4404. 00:55:33,373 --> 00:55:34,853
  4405. and he kind of looked
  4406. a little creepy.
  4407.  
  4408. 940
  4409. 00:55:35,027 --> 00:55:38,073
  4410. And he kind of reminded me
  4411. of my grandfather
  4412.  
  4413. 941
  4414. 00:55:38,247 --> 00:55:42,730
  4415. who was retired, always grumpy, but hilarious
  4416.  
  4417. 942
  4418. 00:55:42,904 --> 00:55:44,993
  4419. and always had the best jokes.
  4420.  
  4421. 943
  4422. 00:55:47,605 --> 00:55:48,649
  4423. For the most part,
  4424. I've always been
  4425.  
  4426. 944
  4427. 00:55:48,823 --> 00:55:50,608
  4428. kind of quiet and kind of shy.
  4429.  
  4430. 945
  4431. 00:55:50,782 --> 00:55:53,480
  4432. And I've never been
  4433. in performing arts,
  4434.  
  4435. 946
  4436. 00:55:53,654 --> 00:55:55,874
  4437. and to all of a sudden
  4438. turn on a switch
  4439.  
  4440. 947
  4441. 00:55:56,048 --> 00:55:59,965
  4442. and just be a personality
  4443. that wasn't myself
  4444.  
  4445. 948
  4446. 00:56:00,487 --> 00:56:03,098
  4447. that was kind of funny
  4448. but kind of rude
  4449.  
  4450. 949
  4451. 00:56:03,447 --> 00:56:06,101
  4452. and just kind of annoyed
  4453. by children.
  4454.  
  4455. 950
  4456. 00:56:06,624 --> 00:56:09,757
  4457. I felt like it was one of
  4458. the biggest rushes of my life.
  4459.  
  4460. 951
  4461. 00:56:12,978 --> 00:56:14,066
  4462. Wrinkles: Yeah.
  4463. Wrinkles the Clown.
  4464.  
  4465. 952
  4466. 00:56:15,633 --> 00:56:16,721
  4467. Girl: Hello.
  4468.  
  4469. 953
  4470. 00:56:16,938 --> 00:56:18,070
  4471. Wrinkles: Yeah.
  4472. What do you want?
  4473.  
  4474. 954
  4475. 00:56:20,246 --> 00:56:21,595
  4476. Wrinkles: We're gonna get
  4477. a lot of that.
  4478.  
  4479. 955
  4480. 00:56:21,769 --> 00:56:23,205
  4481. They can't believe
  4482. that someone answered
  4483.  
  4484. 956
  4485. 00:56:23,423 --> 00:56:24,598
  4486. and just kinda hang up.
  4487.  
  4488. 957
  4489. 00:56:32,214 --> 00:56:33,259
  4490. Wrinkles: Yeah,
  4491. Wrinkles the Clown.
  4492.  
  4493. 958
  4494. 00:56:33,433 --> 00:56:35,522
  4495. Girls: Hi, Wrinkles.
  4496.  
  4497. 959
  4498. 00:56:35,696 --> 00:56:37,176
  4499. Wrinkles: Hey,
  4500. how is it going, guys?
  4501.  
  4502. 960
  4503. 00:56:37,394 --> 00:56:40,353
  4504. Girl: I love your voicemail.
  4505. It's so cool.
  4506.  
  4507. 961
  4508. 00:56:40,527 --> 00:56:42,573
  4509. Wrinkles: Oh, yeah. That's nice.
  4510. Thank you.
  4511.  
  4512. 962
  4513. 00:56:42,964 --> 00:56:45,097
  4514. Boy: Dude, that voicemail
  4515. sounds just like that.
  4516.  
  4517. 963
  4518. 00:56:45,445 --> 00:56:46,664
  4519. Wrinkles: Well, that's my voice
  4520.  
  4521. 964
  4522. 00:56:46,838 --> 00:56:47,926
  4523. so that would make sense,
  4524. right?
  4525.  
  4526. 965
  4527. 00:56:49,144 --> 00:56:50,232
  4528. - Woman: Wrinkles.
  4529. - Wrinkles: Yeah.
  4530.  
  4531. 966
  4532. 00:56:50,972 --> 00:56:52,539
  4533. Woman: Do you have
  4534. a YouTube channel?
  4535.  
  4536. 967
  4537. 00:56:52,713 --> 00:56:54,280
  4538. Wrinkles: No.
  4539. I don't use the internet.
  4540.  
  4541. 968
  4542. 00:56:54,541 --> 00:56:56,195
  4543. - Woman: Why?
  4544. - Wrinkles: I don't know.
  4545.  
  4546. 969
  4547. 00:56:56,369 --> 00:56:57,849
  4548. 'Cause I don't like
  4549. the internet. It's too hard.
  4550.  
  4551. 970
  4552. 00:56:58,284 --> 00:56:59,807
  4553. Girl: Are you a killer clown?
  4554.  
  4555. 971
  4556. 00:56:59,981 --> 00:57:01,156
  4557. Wrinkles: No.
  4558. I never killed nobody.
  4559.  
  4560. 972
  4561. 00:57:02,027 --> 00:57:05,117
  4562. Girl: You're...
  4563. Everybody confirmed
  4564.  
  4565. 973
  4566. 00:57:05,291 --> 00:57:07,162
  4567. that you're bad
  4568. but I don't believe them.
  4569.  
  4570. 974
  4571. 00:57:08,207 --> 00:57:10,296
  4572. Wrinkles: No... yeah. You know,
  4573. a lot of people think
  4574.  
  4575. 975
  4576. 00:57:10,470 --> 00:57:14,648
  4577. - a lot of different things.
  4578. - Girl: You're so nice.
  4579.  
  4580. 976
  4581. 00:57:15,867 --> 00:57:16,998
  4582. Wrinkles: You caught me
  4583. on a good day.
  4584.  
  4585. 977
  4586. 00:57:18,391 --> 00:57:19,740
  4587. - Girl: Okay, Wrinkles.
  4588. - Wrinkles: All right.
  4589.  
  4590. 978
  4591. 00:57:19,914 --> 00:57:21,307

  4606. Wrinkles: I feel like
  4607. five years ago,
  4608.  
  4609. 982
  4610. 00:57:30,447 --> 00:57:33,754
  4611. I was so much more naive
  4612. than I am now
  4613.  
  4614. 983
  4615. 00:57:33,928 --> 00:57:36,061
  4616. because I was actually
  4617. really able to prove
  4618.  
  4619. 984
  4620. 00:57:36,278 --> 00:57:38,063
  4621. a lot of things to myself.
  4622.  
  4623. 985
  4624. 00:57:38,890 --> 00:57:43,242
  4625. You know, I put a picture,
  4626. a name, and a phone number
  4627.  
  4628. 986
  4629. 00:57:43,416 --> 00:57:46,158
  4630. on a sticker, and...
  4631.  
  4632. 987
  4633. 00:57:46,767 --> 00:57:48,595
  4634. people just did whatever they wanted with it.
  4635.  
  4636. 988
  4637. 00:57:48,769 --> 00:57:50,118
  4638. People of course
  4639. are taking pictures of it,
  4640.  
  4641. 989
  4642. 00:57:50,292 --> 00:57:51,946
  4643. - putting it online.
  4644.  
  4645. 990
  4646. 00:57:52,425 --> 00:57:53,905
  4647. Wrinkles: After seeing that,
  4648.  
  4649. 991
  4650. 00:57:54,079 --> 00:57:56,342
  4651. hey, you know what,
  4652. I'm gonna start bolstering

  4656. this online presence as well.
  4657.  
  4658. 993
  4659. 00:57:58,344 --> 00:58:02,217
  4660. So I created the HvUseen
  4661. Wrinkles website
  4662.  
  4663. 994
  4664. 00:58:02,391 --> 00:58:04,219
  4665. and YouTube channel.
  4666.  
  4667. 995
  4668. 00:58:04,393 --> 00:58:05,743
  4669. And that's when I started,
  4670. like,
  4671.  
  4672. 996
  4673. 00:58:06,308 --> 00:58:09,050
  4674. putting a lot more pictures
  4675. and, you know,
  4676.  
  4677. 997
  4678. 00:58:09,224 --> 00:58:11,096
  4679. quote, unquote
  4680. "Wrinkles sightings".
  4681.  
  4682. 998
  4683. 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,751
  4684. I'm trying to think if the video
  4685. or the sticker came first.
  4686.  
  4687. 999
  4688. 00:58:13,968 --> 00:58:15,404
  4689. I think the video came first.
  4690.  
  4691. 1000
  4692. 00:58:20,409 --> 00:58:24,501
  4693. So after that, it became kind
  4694. of fun to make Wrinkles videos.
  4695.  
  4696. 1001
  4697. 00:58:24,936 --> 00:58:27,939
  4698. The second one was Wrinkles walking through a parking lot
  4699.  
  4700. 1002
  4701. 00:58:28,113 --> 00:58:31,595
  4702. with a shopping cart full of junk as if he was homeless.
  4703.  
  4704. 1003
  4705. 00:58:32,900 --> 00:58:35,642
  4706. And the next video is on US 41.
  4707. I think we actually
  4708.  
  4709. 1004
  4710. 00:58:35,816 --> 00:58:37,992
  4711. shot that video
  4712. on the same night.
  4713.  
  4714. 1005
  4715. 00:58:41,822 --> 00:58:42,867
  4716. Man: Hey. Huh?
  4717.

  4722. 1007

  4724. was really what kick-started
  4725. everything.
  4726.  
  4727. 1008
  4728. 00:58:54,226 --> 00:58:57,272

  4730. Have you seen this clown?
  4731.

  4757. 1014
  4758. 00:59:11,678 --> 00:59:13,985

  4760. for them to put 'em together
  4761.  
  4762. 1015
  4763. 00:59:14,159 --> 00:59:17,423

  4778. Wrinkles: That created
  4779. an opportunity for people
  4780.  
  4781. 1019
  4782. 00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,910
  4783. to say, "Why is this man

  4800. 1023
  4801. 00:59:34,135 --> 00:59:35,572
  4802. then it just kind of
  4803. snowballed after that.
  4804.  
  4805. 1024
  4806. 00:59:35,746 --> 00:59:37,095

  5306.

  5345. 1138
  5346. 01:03:56,397 --> 01:03:57,921

  5355. 01:03:59,661 --> 01:04:01,141
  5356. took to the streets
  5357. to find them.
  5358.

  5376. took a step back,
  5377.  
  5378. 1145
  5379. 01:04:10,890 --> 01:04:14,720
  5380. but once I saw the power
  5381. of throwing an idea out
  5382.  
  5383. 1146
  5384. 01:04:14,894 --> 01:04:17,723
  5385. and having people
  5386. grab onto that idea
  5387.  
  5388. 1147
  5389. 01:04:17,984 --> 01:04:20,813
  5390. and react to it, I figured,
  5391. "Here's an opportunity
  5392.  
  5393. 1148
  5394. 01:04:20,987 --> 01:04:23,903
  5395. - to really learn some things."
  5396.  
  5397. 1149
  5398. 01:04:26,775 --> 01:04:28,038
  5399. Wrinkles: You know, I would
  5400. put my phone down
  5401.  
  5402. 1150
  5403. 01:04:28,212 --> 01:04:29,822
  5404. and walk away for an hour
  5405. and come back,
  5406.  
  5407. 1151
  5408. 01:04:29,996 --> 01:04:31,955
  5409. and there would be, like,
  5410. thousands of notifications,
  5411.  
  5412. 1152
  5413. 01:04:32,129 --> 01:04:33,782
  5414. and my phone was dying
  5415. 'cause it just couldn't keep up
  5416.  
  5417. 1153
  5418. 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,438
  5419. with all of the text messages
  5420. and voicemails.
  5421.  
  5422. 1154
  5423. 01:04:38,787 --> 01:04:40,398
  5424. They were calling
  5425. with their concerns.
  5426.  
  5427. 1155
  5428. 01:04:40,572 --> 01:04:42,052
  5429. They were calling
  5430. with their hatred.
  5431.  
  5432. 1156
  5433. 01:04:42,226 --> 01:04:44,532
  5434. They were calling
  5435. with their absolute acceptance.
  5436.  
  5437. 1157
  5438. 01:04:45,838 --> 01:04:48,014
  5439. What does this tell us
  5440. about different people
  5441.  
  5442. 1158
  5443. 01:04:48,188 --> 01:04:49,276
  5444. and how they
  5445. process information,
  5446.  
  5447. 1159
  5448. 01:04:49,450 --> 01:04:50,712
  5449. how they view it on the media,
  5450.  
  5451. 1160
  5452. 01:04:51,017 --> 01:04:52,323
  5453. how they view it
  5454. on social media,
  5455.  
  5456. 1161
  5457. 01:04:53,019 --> 01:04:54,760
  5458. or just the ideas that they made up in their head
  5459.  
  5460. 1162
  5461. 01:04:54,934 --> 01:04:57,284
  5462. just seeing a sticker
  5463. in a light pole, you know.
  5464.  
  5465. 1163
  5466. 01:04:57,458 --> 01:04:59,243
  5467. What did their imagination
  5468. dream up?
  5469.  
  5470. 1164
  5471. 01:05:03,682 --> 01:05:06,511
  5472. Jarrett: This one is one
  5473. of my top favorites.
  5474.  
  5475. 1165
  5476. 01:05:08,121 --> 01:05:11,472
  5477. It says "Would you rather
  5478. die or die."
  5479.  
  5480. 1166
  5481. 01:05:12,125 --> 01:05:13,735
  5482. And I thought that would just be
  5483.  
  5484. 1167
  5485. 01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:15,912
  5486. kind of funny and creepy
  5487. at the same time.
  5488.  
  5489. 1168
  5490. 01:05:21,265 --> 01:05:22,875
  5491. Jarrett: So the top of his head.
  5492.  
  5493. 1169
  5494. 01:05:33,886 --> 01:05:36,280
  5495. Just... Kinda like this.
  5496.  
  5497. 1170
  5498. 01:05:38,282 --> 01:05:40,588
  5499. Rena: You're trying to make it
  5500. not look perfect.
  5501.  
  5502. 1171
  5503. 01:05:42,199 --> 01:05:46,072
  5504. The end goal is to make yourself
  5505. look like a clown.
  5506.  
  5507. 1172
  5508. 01:05:47,291 --> 01:05:49,771
  5509. Rena: I put on clown makeup
  5510. to scare people.
  5511.  
  5512. 1173
  5513. 01:05:51,382 --> 01:05:53,253
  5514. Then you're just gonna
  5515. put in on your nose.
  5516.  
  5517. 1174
  5518. 01:06:16,102 --> 01:06:18,931
  5519. I need red lipstick.
  5520. I'll be right back.
  5521.  
  5522. 1175
  5523. 01:06:19,976 --> 01:06:21,586
  5524. Sean: Once I found out
  5525. about Wrinkles, you know,
  5526.  
  5527. 1176
  5528. 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,502
  5529. I started having other ideas
  5530. for clown videos.
  5531.  
  5532. 1177
  5533. 01:06:25,068 --> 01:06:27,592
  5534. So we got makeup and then
  5535. we just basically
  5536.  
  5537. 1178
  5538. 01:06:27,766 --> 01:06:29,202
  5539. wanted close stuff
  5540. and, like, running
  5541.  
  5542. 1179
  5543. 01:06:29,376 --> 01:06:30,464
  5544. and, like, trying to scare.
  5545.  
  5546. 1180
  5547. 01:06:31,552 --> 01:06:32,945
  5548. I feel like my videos
  5549.  
  5550. 1181
  5551. 01:06:33,119 --> 01:06:34,903
  5552. are a reflection
  5553. of my personality.
  5554.  
  5555. 1182
  5556. 01:06:35,078 --> 01:06:37,602
  5557. Like, I don't try to act goofy. I just like to make videos
  5558.  
  5559. 1183
  5560. 01:06:37,776 --> 01:06:40,039
  5561. that, like, make me happy,
  5562. make me laugh.
  5563.  
  5564. 1184
  5565. 01:06:47,829 --> 01:06:49,701
  5566. Found some.
  5567.  
  5568. 1185
  5569. 01:06:52,791 --> 01:06:55,011
  5570. - Rena: The crazy lady is back.
  5571. - The way it started out,
  5572.  
  5573. 1186
  5574. 01:06:55,185 --> 01:06:56,751
  5575. she would just try
  5576. to put on makeup
  5577.  
  5578. 1187
  5579. 01:06:56,925 --> 01:06:59,232
  5580. 'cause everybody else
  5581. was putting on makeup.
  5582.  
  5583. 1188
  5584. 01:07:00,233 --> 01:07:01,191
  5585. But, uh...
  5586.  
  5587. 1189
  5588. 01:07:02,105 --> 01:07:04,194
  5589. she would make herself
  5590. look like a clown.
  5591.  
  5592. 1190
  5593. 01:07:04,368 --> 01:07:07,066
  5594. I'm like, "You are not going
  5595. to town with me
  5596.  
  5597. 1191
  5598. 01:07:07,284 --> 01:07:09,242
  5599. - looking like a clown."
  5600.  
  5601. 1192
  5602. 01:07:09,721 --> 01:07:10,983
  5603. You're just gonna take it a lot.
  5604.  
  5605. 1193
  5606. 01:07:14,247 --> 01:07:15,553
  5607. Sean: When I upload
  5608. all my new videos,
  5609.  
  5610. 1194
  5611. 01:07:15,727 --> 01:07:17,294
  5612. I'm excited.
  5613. You know, I'm happy
  5614.  
  5615. 1195
  5616. 01:07:17,468 --> 01:07:18,947
  5617. that, like,
  5618. I've got a video done,
  5619.  
  5620. 1196
  5621. 01:07:19,122 --> 01:07:20,732
  5622. and that I've edited it.
  5623.  
  5624. 1197
  5625. 01:07:21,124 --> 01:07:23,343
  5626. I feel like somewhat like
  5627. I've accomplished something.
  5628.  
  5629. 1198
  5630. 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,433
  5631. I do have a goal to become
  5632. a filmmaker one day.
  5633.  
  5634. 1199
  5635. 01:07:26,868 --> 01:07:27,956
  5636. Sean: What's your favorite food?
  5637.  
  5638. 1200
  5639. 01:07:28,522 --> 01:07:30,350
  5640. Uh, cats.
  5641.  
  5642. 1201
  5643. 01:07:34,093 --> 01:07:36,400
  5644. Melissa: I always had the mind
  5645. of him playing football.
  5646.  
  5647. 1202
  5648. 01:07:36,617 --> 01:07:38,315
  5649. I had people coming up to me
  5650. all the time,
  5651.  
  5652. 1203
  5653. 01:07:38,619 --> 01:07:40,491
  5654. "He could play for the Cowboys when he gets older."
  5655.  
  5656. 1204
  5657. 01:07:40,708 --> 01:07:43,494
  5658. The doctor says he's gonna be
  5659. 6'5'' when he's older.
  5660.  
  5661. 1205
  5662. 01:07:43,972 --> 01:07:44,843
  5663. And...
  5664.  
  5665. 1206
  5666. 01:07:45,713 --> 01:07:46,888
  5667. that's just not him.
  5668.  
  5669. 1207
  5670. 01:07:47,193 --> 01:07:49,935
  5671. This is him. This is what
  5672. he likes to do.
  5673.  
  5674. 1208
  5675. 01:07:50,936 --> 01:07:55,375
  5676. You need to make a big dot
  5677. on your face.
  5678.  
  5679. 1209
  5680. 01:07:56,028 --> 01:07:57,029
  5681. Now, I'm Wrinkles.
  5682.  
  5683. 1210
  5684. 01:08:03,253 --> 01:08:04,297
  5685. Jarrett: And now
  5686. I'll do this too.
  5687.  
  5688. 1211
  5689. 01:08:11,696 --> 01:08:13,045
  5690. Wrinkles: Have you talked
  5691. to this neighbor already
  5692.  
  5693. 1212
  5694. 01:08:13,219 --> 01:08:14,699
  5695. - or...
  5696. - Man: No. They...
  5697.  
  5698. 1213
  5699. 01:08:14,873 --> 01:08:16,135
  5700. - I don't really know them.
  5701. - Wrinkles: Okay.
  5702.  
  5703. 1214
  5704. 01:08:16,570 --> 01:08:18,920
  5705. Yeah. I mean, this kind of
  5706. is a perfect spot.
  5707.  
  5708. 1215
  5709. 01:08:19,269 --> 01:08:22,185
  5710. There's little bit of cover
  5711. and it gives a little, um...
  5712.  
  5713. 1216
  5714. 01:08:23,099 --> 01:08:24,622
  5715. you know, a little mystery.
  5716. And it might make them
  5717.  
  5718. 1217
  5719. 01:08:24,796 --> 01:08:26,363
  5720. - look a little bit harder.
  5721. - Man: Sure. Sure.
  5722.  
  5723. 1218
  5724. 01:08:31,150 --> 01:08:32,804
  5725. Wrinkles: So the family would be
  5726. playing cards here.
  5727.  
  5728. 1219
  5729. 01:08:33,326 --> 01:08:35,937
  5730. Sitting here, having one
  5731. or two kids just right there.
  5732.  
  5733. 1220
  5734. 01:08:36,677 --> 01:08:37,896
  5735. Wrinkles: Maybe you're like...
  5736. you're filming
  5737.  
  5738. 1221
  5739. 01:08:38,070 --> 01:08:39,854
  5740. and you kind of zoom in,
  5741. you know.
  5742.  
  5743. 1222
  5744. 01:08:40,028 --> 01:08:42,248
  5745. You just zoom in a little bit,
  5746. and you're like, "Oh, my God.
  5747.  
  5748. 1223
  5749. 01:08:42,422 --> 01:08:44,685
  5750. What the fuck is that,"
  5751. you know? Like, "Holy shit."
  5752.  
  5753. 1224
  5754. 01:08:45,033 --> 01:08:47,384
  5755. The less you say, the better.
  5756. Let them be the ones
  5757.  
  5758. 1225
  5759. 01:08:47,558 --> 01:08:49,342
  5760. that react, but you'll
  5761. still be recording,
  5762.  
  5763. 1226
  5764. 01:08:49,516 --> 01:08:51,127
  5765. but you're gonna be
  5766. running as well.
  5767.  
  5768. 1227
  5769. 01:08:51,344 --> 01:08:53,694
  5770. They'll see floor, ceiling,
  5771. floor, ceiling, floor, ceiling.
  5772.  
  5773. 1228
  5774. 01:08:53,868 --> 01:08:55,479
  5775. - Man: With the camera?
  5776. - Wrinkles: With the camera.
  5777.  
  5778. 1229
  5779. 01:08:55,653 --> 01:08:57,959
  5780. And maybe you drop the phone
  5781. in the hallway,
  5782.  
  5783. 1230
  5784. 01:08:58,134 --> 01:09:00,179
  5785. and you, you know, you let...
  5786.  
  5787. 1231
  5788. 01:09:00,397 --> 01:09:02,050
  5789. Then we're gonna pick up
  5790. all the audio
  5791.  
  5792. 1232
  5793. 01:09:02,225 --> 01:09:04,227
  5794. - of the genuine reaction.
  5795. - Oh, how great would it be...
  5796.  
  5797. 1233
  5798. 01:09:04,401 --> 01:09:06,054
  5799. - Screaming.
  5800. - Man: ...if she drops it.
  5801.  
  5802. 1234
  5803. 01:09:06,272 --> 01:09:07,621
  5804. Wrinkles: Yeah.
  5805. Then I could come in...
  5806.  
  5807. 1235
  5808. 01:09:08,535 --> 01:09:10,972
  5809. Wrinkles could come in,
  5810. see the phone,
  5811.  
  5812. 1236
  5813. 01:09:11,538 --> 01:09:14,019
  5814. bend down, pick it up,
  5815. end of video.
  5816.  
  5817. 1237
  5818. 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,244
  5819. Do you wanna get some pizza
  5820. later on?
  5821.  
  5822. 1238
  5823. 01:09:21,853 --> 01:09:23,028
  5824. That's gonna be the code.
  5825.  
  5826. 1239
  5827. 01:09:23,246 --> 01:09:24,377
  5828. Woman: Do you guys wanna
  5829. go get pizza?
  5830.  
  5831. 1240
  5832. 01:09:24,551 --> 01:09:25,596
  5833. - Yeah.
  5834. - Man: You wanna get something?
  5835.  
  5836. 1241
  5837. 01:09:25,987 --> 01:09:27,424
  5838. That's when you know
  5839. that he's here.
  5840.  
  5841. 1242
  5842. 01:09:27,598 --> 01:09:28,947
  5843. He just texted here.
  5844.  
  5845. 1243
  5846. 01:09:29,121 --> 01:09:31,167
  5847. Wrinkles: When my timer goes off
  5848. on my phone,
  5849.  
  5850. 1244
  5851. 01:09:31,602 --> 01:09:33,691
  5852. then I know I'm gonna start
  5853. doing the peek around.
  5854.  
  5855. 1245
  5856. 01:09:34,300 --> 01:09:35,214
  5857. The peek around.
  5858.  
  5859. 1246
  5860. 01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,087
  5861. Did anyone see that?
  5862. What's outside?
  5863.  
  5864. 1247
  5865. 01:09:40,350 --> 01:09:41,786
  5866. I swear there's
  5867. something outside.
  5868.  
  5869. 1248
  5870. 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:43,527
  5871. - Man: What the fuck?
  5872.  
  5873. 1249
  5874. 01:09:51,970 --> 01:09:53,450
  5875. Wrinkles: I'll come in.
  5876. I'll grab the phone.
  5877.  
  5878. 1250
  5879. 01:09:53,754 --> 01:09:54,973
  5880. I'll hit stop.
  5881.  
  5882. 1251
  5883. 01:09:56,409 --> 01:09:58,890
  5884. Man: Jesus Christ.
  5885.  
  5886. 1252
  5887. 01:09:59,586 --> 01:10:01,458
  5888. Wrinkles: And then
  5889. after that happens,
  5890.  
  5891. 1253
  5892. 01:10:02,198 --> 01:10:03,199
  5893. - I'm booking it.
  5894. - Man: Yeah.
  5895.  
  5896. 1254
  5897. 01:10:03,416 --> 01:10:04,374
  5898. I'm out of here.
  5899.  
  5900. 1255
  5901. 01:10:16,821 --> 01:10:17,996
  5902. - Wrinkles:
  5903.  
  5904. 1256
  5905. 01:10:18,170 --> 01:10:19,563
  5906. You guys heard those screams,
  5907. right?
  5908.  
  5909. 1257
  5910. 01:10:19,737 --> 01:10:21,347
  5911. - Man: Yes.
  5912. - Wrinkles: Holy fucking shit.
  5913.  
  5914. 1258
  5915. 01:10:21,521 --> 01:10:24,045
  5916. One girl came back
  5917. to see if, like...
  5918.  
  5919. 1259
  5920. 01:10:24,263 --> 01:10:25,960
  5921. Everyone else had ran.
  5922. I don't know who it was,
  5923.  
  5924. 1260
  5925. 01:10:26,134 --> 01:10:27,353
  5926. but the one that came back,
  5927.  
  5928. 1261
  5929. 01:10:27,614 --> 01:10:29,486
  5930. I think she saw me,
  5931. like, on the porch
  5932.  
  5933. 1262
  5934. 01:10:29,660 --> 01:10:31,314
  5935. and she fucking lost her mind.
  5936.  
  5937. 1263
  5938. 01:10:32,532 --> 01:10:34,621
  5939. Holy shit. There's fucking cops
  5940. all over this neighborhood.
  5941.  
  5942. 1264
  5943. 01:10:43,717 --> 01:10:45,241
  5944. Wrinkles: I think on this one,
  5945. I'm gonna cut it off.
  5946.  
  5947. 1265
  5948. 01:10:47,068 --> 01:10:49,680
  5949. - Let's see.
  5950.  
  5951. 1266
  5952. 01:10:54,859 --> 01:10:56,600
  5953. Wrinkles: I kinda love
  5954. the abruptness of that.
  5955.  
  5956. 1267
  5957. 01:10:57,644 --> 01:10:58,993
  5958. You know, with that, it kind of
  5959.  
  5960. 1268
  5961. 01:10:59,385 --> 01:11:00,908
  5962. leaves more to the imagination.
  5963. Like, "What the hell?
  5964.  
  5965. 1269
  5966. 01:11:01,126 --> 01:11:02,606
  5967. What happened after that?
  5968. What... You know,
  5969.  
  5970. 1270
  5971. 01:11:02,780 --> 01:11:04,869
  5972. did Wrinkles get 'em?
  5973. Did they get away?
  5974.  
  5975. 1271
  5976. 01:11:05,043 --> 01:11:08,264
  5977. Did they call the cops?
  5978. Did they..." you know, whatever.
  5979.  
  5980. 1272
  5981. 01:11:14,052 --> 01:11:15,358
  5982. Wrinkles: I don't think
  5983. anything I do
  5984.  
  5985. 1273
  5986. 01:11:15,532 --> 01:11:17,969
  5987. after the Wrinkles project
  5988. is going to have
  5989.  
  5990. 1274
  5991. 01:11:18,143 --> 01:11:19,492
  5992. as big of an impact.
  5993.  
  5994. 1275
  5995. 01:11:20,624 --> 01:11:22,495
  5996. But sometimes
  5997. you surprise yourself.
  5998.  
  5999. 1276
  6000. 01:11:25,019 --> 01:11:28,806
  6001. Maybe this is just a gateway
  6002. into something bigger.
  6003.  
  6004. 1277
  6005. 01:11:30,721 --> 01:11:32,026
  6006. - Yeah.
  6007. - Man: You wanna get something?
  6008.  
  6009. 1278
  6010. 01:11:32,418 --> 01:11:36,161
  6011. - Man: The fuck is that?
  6012.  
  6013. 1279
  6014. 01:11:36,509 --> 01:11:37,902
  6015. Benjamin: I think there is
  6016. an element
  6017.  
  6018. 1280
  6019. 01:11:38,206 --> 01:11:41,427
  6020. of internet troll to Wrinkles.
  6021. He's provocative, right?
  6022.  
  6023. 1281
  6024. 01:11:41,601 --> 01:11:43,342
  6025. He's trying to get
  6026. a reaction out of you.
  6027.  
  6028. 1282
  6029. 01:11:43,603 --> 01:11:45,388
  6030. Maybe it's screaming
  6031. with laughter,
  6032.  
  6033. 1283
  6034. 01:11:45,562 --> 01:11:46,824
  6035. maybe it's terror,
  6036.  
  6037. 1284
  6038. 01:11:47,215 --> 01:11:49,000
  6039. maybe it's calling
  6040. his phone number. Who knows?
  6041.  
  6042. 1285
  6043. 01:11:49,174 --> 01:11:51,611
  6044. By calling him, you're
  6045. essentially inviting him in
  6046.  
  6047. 1286
  6048. 01:11:51,829 --> 01:11:53,309
  6049. into your life.
  6050.  
  6051. 1287
  6052. 01:11:53,700 --> 01:11:55,441
  6053. Testing those boundaries
  6054. is a part of growing up.
  6055.  
  6056. 1288
  6057. 01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,444
  6058. Boy: I'm gonna be calling
  6059. a killer clown.
  6060.  
  6061. 1289
  6062. 01:11:58,618 --> 01:12:00,490
  6063. Apparently, his name
  6064. is Wrinkles.
  6065.  
  6066. 1290
  6067. 01:12:01,317 --> 01:12:03,841
  6068. Boy: Uh, I got this number
  6069. a hundred percent real
  6070.  
  6071. 1291
  6072. 01:12:04,015 --> 01:12:05,233
  6073. off the Internet.
  6074.  
  6075. 1292
  6076. 01:12:05,451 --> 01:12:06,931
  6077. Jarrett: I think people
  6078. just wanna see
  6079.  
  6080. 1293
  6081. 01:12:07,105 --> 01:12:09,934
  6082. what would happen
  6083. if they call the clown.
  6084.  
  6085. 1294
  6086. 01:12:10,456 --> 01:12:11,805
  6087. - Like...
  6088.  
  6089. 1295
  6090. 01:12:12,284 --> 01:12:13,720
  6091. maybe he would come
  6092. to their house or something.
  6093.  
  6094. 1296
  6095. 01:12:13,938 --> 01:12:16,288
  6096. They just wanna see
  6097. what could happen.
  6098.  
  6099. 1297
  6100. 01:12:17,333 --> 01:12:18,595
  6101. Oh, dang.
  6102.  
  6103. 1298
  6104. 01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,293
  6105. I think the creepiest part
  6106. is when he grabs the camera
  6107.  
  6108. 1299
  6109. 01:12:21,728 --> 01:12:23,251
  6110. and, like, it just goes out.
  6111. Like...
  6112.  
  6113. 1300
  6114. 01:12:23,774 --> 01:12:26,907
  6115. I think if the girl woke up,
  6116. it would be complete madness
  6117.  
  6118. 1301
  6119. 01:12:27,081 --> 01:12:29,736
  6120. and, like, she would start
  6121. screaming bloody murder.
  6122.  
  6123. 1302
  6124. 01:12:32,739 --> 01:12:33,958
  6125. He don't have any eyeballs.
  6126.  
  6127. 1303
  6128. 01:12:36,221 --> 01:12:37,353
  6129. How does he see?
  6130.  
  6131. 1304
  6132. 01:12:49,365 --> 01:12:51,323
  6133. Wrinkles: I do parties,
  6134. children behavioral services,
  6135.  
  6136. 1305
  6137. 01:12:51,497 --> 01:12:52,846
  6138. the whole shebang, you know,
  6139. give me a call.
  6140.  
  6141. 1306
  6142. 01:12:53,281 --> 01:12:54,761
  6143. Man: Are you the real one
  6144. that gets hired
  6145.  
  6146. 1307
  6147. 01:12:55,153 --> 01:12:56,459
  6148. to scare the shit out of kids?
  6149.  
  6150. 1308
  6151. 01:12:56,676 --> 01:12:57,808
  6152. Wrinkles: Yeah.
  6153. Wrinkles the Clown.
  6154.  
  6155. 1309
  6156. 01:12:57,982 --> 01:12:59,331
  6157. - You heard of me?
  6158. - Man: Yeah.
  6159.  
  6160. 1310
  6161. 01:12:59,766 --> 01:13:01,420
  6162. Wrinkles: You know, maybe
  6163. the negative parts
  6164.  
  6165. 1311
  6166. 01:13:01,594 --> 01:13:04,728
  6167. of Wrinkles will die off
  6168. and maybe the fun parts
  6169.  
  6170. 1312
  6171. 01:13:04,945 --> 01:13:07,165
  6172. - of Wrinkles will live on.
  6173. - Boy 1: Oh, my God.
  6174.  
  6175. 1313
  6176. 01:13:07,992 --> 01:13:10,211
  6177. - Boy 2: His name is Wrinkles.
  6178. - Wrinkles: Sweet dreams.
  6179.  
  6180. 1314
  6181. 01:13:10,864 --> 01:13:12,692
  6182. Wrinkles: As many people
  6183. that hate Wrinkles
  6184.  
  6185. 1315
  6186. 01:13:12,997 --> 01:13:15,826
  6187. and hope he dies a slow,
  6188. horrible death,
  6189.  
  6190. 1316
  6191. 01:13:16,435 --> 01:13:18,176
  6192. there's a lot of people
  6193. out there that love Wrinkles
  6194.  
  6195. 1317
  6196. 01:13:18,350 --> 01:13:19,743
  6197. and they love the character
  6198.  
  6199. 1318
  6200. 01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:21,658
  6201. and they like the funny parts about him
  6202.  
  6203. 1319
  6204. 01:13:21,875 --> 01:13:24,095
  6205. and they like the cynical parts that they can relate to.
  6206.  
  6207. 1320
  6208. 01:13:24,269 --> 01:13:27,228
  6209. Girl 1: I love you, Wrinkles,
  6210. so much.
  6211.  
  6212. 1321
  6213. 01:13:27,403 --> 01:13:30,406
  6214. Girl 2: I think you're
  6215. the number one clown.
  6216.  
  6217. 1322
  6218. 01:13:30,710 --> 01:13:34,453
  6219. Girls: We love you. We love you.
  6220. We love you. We love you.
  6221.  
  6222. 1323
  6223. 01:13:34,627 --> 01:13:36,020
  6224. Girl 3: You're my role model.
  6225.  
  6226. 1324
  6227. 01:13:36,716 --> 01:13:39,327
  6228. Boy 1: I can laugh like you,
  6229. listen.
  6230.  
  6231. 1325
  6232. 01:13:40,154 --> 01:13:41,765
  6233. - Girl 4: Wrinkles!
  6234. - Wrinkles: What're you doing?
  6235.  
  6236. 1326
  6237. 01:13:41,939 --> 01:13:43,157
  6238. Girl 5: What're you doing?
  6239. Girl 6: High five, again.
  6240.  
  6241. 1327
  6242. 01:13:44,071 --> 01:13:45,508
  6243. - Wrinkles: High five?
  6244. - Girl 6: High five again.
  6245.  
  6246. 1328
  6247. 01:13:45,682 --> 01:13:46,770
  6248. - Boy 2: Please.
  6249. - Girl 7: High five. Thank you.
  6250.  
  6251. 1329
  6252. 01:13:46,944 --> 01:13:48,075
  6253. Boy 2: Oh, my God.
  6254. You're so cute.
  6255.  
  6256. 1330
  6257. 01:13:48,336 --> 01:13:49,642
  6258. Wrinkles: Oh, God. I can't see.
  6259.  
  6260. 1331
  6261. 01:13:49,816 --> 01:13:51,557
  6262. There's too many high fives
  6263. going on here.
  6264.  
  6265. 1332
  6266. 01:13:51,775 --> 01:13:54,081
  6267. - One, two, three. Wrinkles.
  6268. - Boy: Wrinkles.
  6269.  
  6270. 1333
  6271. 01:14:03,874 --> 01:14:07,051
  6272. Wrinkles: Our individual minds
  6273. are such humongous places.
  6274.  
  6275. 1334
  6276. 01:14:07,225 --> 01:14:10,707
  6277. And the places that you can go, it can be some of the darkest,
  6278.  
  6279. 1335
  6280. 01:14:10,881 --> 01:14:14,275
  6281. deepest depths of just
  6282. awful terribleness
  6283.  
  6284. 1336
  6285. 01:14:14,493 --> 01:14:15,712
  6286. to some of
  6287. the most enlightening
  6288.  
  6289. 1337
  6290. 01:14:15,886 --> 01:14:17,365
  6291. most beautiful places.
  6292.  
  6293. 1338
  6294. 01:14:17,888 --> 01:14:21,587
  6295. It's just interesting to see
  6296. where people decide to go
  6297.  
  6298. 1339
  6299. 01:14:21,761 --> 01:14:23,633
  6300. in their mind because,
  6301. at the end of the day,
  6302.  
  6303. 1340
  6304. 01:14:23,807 --> 01:14:25,330
  6305. they're the ones
  6306.  
  6307. 1341
  6308. 01:14:25,504 --> 01:14:26,984
  6309. that are taking
  6310. this very small information
  6311.  
  6312. 1342
  6313. 01:14:27,158 --> 01:14:28,507
  6314. they know about
  6315. Wrinkles The Clown,
  6316.  
  6317. 1343
  6318. 01:14:28,725 --> 01:14:30,204
  6319. and decided which way
  6320. to take it.
  6321.  
  6322. 1344
  6323. 01:14:30,466 --> 01:14:31,641
  6324. Boy: I saw your YouTube video.
  6325.  
  6326. 1345
  6327. 01:14:31,815 --> 01:14:33,251
  6328. Wrinkles: I don't have
  6329. a YouTube video.
  6330.  
  6331. 1346
  6332. 01:14:33,556 --> 01:14:34,470
  6333. - What are you talking about?
  6334. - Boy: Yeah, right.
  6335.  
  6336. 1347
  6337. 01:14:49,528 --> 01:14:50,747
  6338. - Wrinkles: Come on.
  6339. - Boy 1: All right.
  6340.  
  6341. 1348
  6342. 01:14:51,487 --> 01:14:52,575
  6343. All right. Last picture
  6344. of the night.
  6345.  
  6346. 1349
  6347. 01:14:52,749 --> 01:14:54,098
  6348. Wrinkles gotta go
  6349. to the bathroom.
  6350.  
  6351. 1350
  6352. 01:14:54,359 --> 01:14:55,403
  6353. Boy 2: Come on.
  6354.  
  6355. 1351
  6356. 01:18:03,243 --> 01:18:04,070
  6357. Man: What?
