Clown Page #2

---

There is something going on.

This-this was a wig

and the white makeup, uh...

It...

What kind of makeup

do you usually use?

I'm not a clown!

Come on Jack, brush your teeth.

Hey Olive, it's Kent.

Can you do me a favor?

Can you check the property files

to see if the Odell place lists

of the previous owner's name?

I think the initials are KC.

O-o-okay, ho... let me uh... give me a second

let me see if I can find...

You know what? I'll...

I'll come in and get it.

- Hey Olive.

- Hey Kent.

- Sorry.

- Ugh.

Son of a b*tch.

Still hungry?

Ugh, gross.

I don't know, it looks old.

It smells weird.

Come on, anything else, please?

I don't know, man. We sell Halloween

costumes and cheap stuff, not like that.

Okay, but who does?

There's like a lot, they're in here.

That one.

Yes?

Uh, I'm calling about uh... a clown costume,

I-I think might belong to you.

It was found in

Martin Karlsson's basement.

Where is Martin?

Oh, uh, I'm sorry. Uh...

Martin Karlsson passed away.

I'm the real estate

agent handling the...

Listen to me, whatever you do...

don't touch that costume.

You understand?

Stay away from it!

Are you still at the house?

I'll be over... as soon as I can.

But don't touch the costume, please!

I'm wearing it.

Hello?

That's uh... That's fine. Uh...

Be careful! It's old, and fragile.

Uh... it doesn't seem very fragile.

I-I'm actually

having a pretty hard

time getting it off.

Ah, don't worry.

That happens all the time.

The heat from your body can constrict

the moisture trapped in those old fibers,

makes it, uh... hard to get off.

Oh, that-that makes perfect sense.

I thought... I thought I was going crazy.

But we should meet as soon as possible,

can you come to my warehouse?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah,

I-I can get there.

We'll have that thing off in no-time.

Hello?

Hello?

Is anyone here?

- Kent.

- Jesus Christ!

I didn't wanna scare you.

Uh, I'm Bert Karlsson.

- Nice to meet you.

- Tea?

Uh...

Hm... Thank you.

I have been abroad, off and on...

these last couple of years.

I haven't talked to Martin for ages.

Our relationship was...

yeah, complicated.

I'm sorry. I've never met him.

That is a very old, traditional costume

from the Nordic regions.

It was until years later,

it became a... silly character.

The original... clown,

he was not funny at all.

So... tell me, Mr. Karlsson.

How are we going to get

this thing off of me?

Very few people know the true origin

of what we call "the clown."

I can show you here.

There.

It lived up in the mountains,

with a skin white as snow and

the red nose blistered by the cold.

It lured children out of the

villages into it's cave.

Five children...
