The Bizarre Story Behind the Real-Life Wrinkles the Clown

Have you ever heard of Wrinkles the Clown? Folks in Southwest Florida know all about the spooky character that's way more than an urban legend. He's the real deal!

A new documentary tells the story of Wrinkles the Clown, who first went viral after video showed him crawling out from underneath a little girl's bed. Wrinkles, who got his name thanks to a distinctive droopy mask with empty black sockets for eyes, was profiled by The Washington Post in 2015. For "a few hundred bucks cash," he told the paper then, he'd scare your child into behaving. Little stickers around Florida with a phone number offered a way to contact him.
