Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Some critics believe that the The Sarah Jane Adventures villain known as the Pied Piper is based on Stephen King's clown Pennywise in IT.[1][2] Similar to Pennywise, the Pied Piper is a shapeshifting alien entity who appears as a frightening clown called Odd Bob, who feeds on the fear of children, makes children see and face their worst fears, uses red balloons to lure children when he appears, and adults usually do not see him, allowing him to harm children without detection. Both clowns can also brandish their sharp teeth to frighten their victims.
