You must know about the wave of sightings in recent clown prankster and also the response given by the people. Whereas last year I was thrilled to watch clown pranks on youtube, and laughs when people fear being made fun of by the clown. I wonder what that prankster clown is thinking now, a lot of prankster clowns were hurt and even shot because they are too scary. I do not know who is right, but if the clown was shot then it was already an excessive response. About a scary clown and also upcoming Halloween, I immediately thought of the "IT" miniseries in the 90s. The clown name was Pennywise the Clown. The clown that I made into papercraft model is a 90s adaptation version from The Clown in a novel by Stephen King, with the same name. The template is consist of 3 pages, the model will has 15 cm in height or 6 inches. I made 2 version of head part which you can choose to build.

This one is a Halloween themed paper craft. Glundung Pringis (Javanese) or "Rolls and Grinds" is a type of supernatural entity, it's not like an ancient myth which apart in distance past, this creature was last seen and was reported in 1965 in central Java according to a book about Java supernatural creatures, unfortunately I didn't remember exactly the title of the book and the name of the author, but I remember it's in English and the author is an American expatriate. I also heard about this creature beside other creatures from my parent stories when they were kids in Yogyakarta. This creature is mainly a head, or whole body looks like a head. According to the book, it's not as like as many people and articles said, this creature is not a human head. It's pretty bigger than normal human head with wider mouth line, but it's not human. Its favorite playground is on the ground where bamboo leaves lies as a soft carpet under bamboo trees. Its behavior rolling around and playing on the ground.
