Halloween is very nearly upon us and one Sheffield barbershop has gone more trick than treat.

Rapscallions, the popular barbershop on Ecclesall Road, has put up a terrifying Pennywise clown up in its window to frighten passers-by.

Not only that, but the lights also flick on and off in the display window; lighting up the clown to truly petrify shoppers on the street.

The clown, in the style of Pennywise from Stephen King's horror novel 'It', has become a popular Halloween costume choice after the film was released in September.

The display has certainly achieved its aim of terrifying passers-by judging by the comments left on the shop's Facebook page.

Karen Michelle Hague said: "Bloody hate clowns."

Spencer Ross Horner said: "Saw this Tuesday night, nearly crashed my car."
