On the eve of Halloween, we uncover the real horror behind Stephen King’s Pennywise—John Wayne Gacy, one of America’s most infamous serial killers. From 1972 to 1978, Gacy murdered at least 33 young men in Chicago’s suburbs. He ran a legitimate construction firm, PDM Contractors, luring victims with fake job offers. Teenager Robert Piest vanished after accepting work from him. By day, a businessman; by night, “Pogo the Clown” at kids’ parties—his cheerful disguise hid pure evil. Beneath his home’s floorboards, he buried his victims and kept twisted trophies, including clown costumes. Convicted in 1980, Gacy was executed in 1994. Now, Peacock’s new true-crime series *John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise* premieres October 16. The 8-episode show dives into his crimes, psyche, and the lives shattered—honoring the victims and their families. Michael Chernus stars. A gripping watch for true-crime fans. #halloween#truecrime#JohnWayneGacy FirstPass
