Cayden Michaels was both frightening and fascinating as Pennywise, the evil dancing clown from the Stephen King horror movie, It. Cayden's parents brought him along to the weekly trivia night at Finnians Pub on Thursday night, when it had a special Halloween theme.

"He was such a hit that people were requesting photos and selfies so he felt the star he intended to be," said proud dad, Dean.

"Facial makeup and hair were supplied by Lynley, his Mum, and a very professionally made costume purchased from ebay helped Cayden to pull off the greatest and scariest look. He genuinely freaked out some of the guests and bar staff.

"It was a great night, and we'd like to say a huge Finnians for being so welcoming and kid-friendly."
