Wrinkles The Clown
FilmInk Presents is bringing the phenomenal documentary, 'Wrinkles The Clown', to cinemas for one night only on Friday 13 December.
In late 2014, a terrifying video of a person in a clown mask emerging from underneath a sleeping child’s bed appears on YouTube. The description below the video claims that the clown is named Wrinkles, that he lives in southwest Florida, and that he’s been hired by the child’s parents to frighten her for misbehaving. The video goes viral. But who is Wrinkles, and why is he doing this?
With incredible access to the mastermind, 'Wrinkles The Clown' explores the phenomenon and the myth behind the mask.
