Yes, this is real. 

Dominic Deville is an evil birthday clown for hire. Yes, evil birthday clown. If you’re thinking of Stephen King’s “It,” you’re close. 

Deville leaves scary notes, warning your child that they are being watched and will be attacked…during their birthday week.  He does so with threatening texts, phone calls and letters. 

At the end of the week, if your child is not terrified enough, the big finale is getting a birthday cake…to the face! 

Even though the stunt is all in good fun, parents who hire Deville can ask him to stop at any time if their child feels too threatened. Because, I’m sure no child would be scarred for life after this. 

Seems a bit too much for me, but hey if you’re into being scared, I would say totally hire this guy, because it doesn’t seem sketchy whatsoever. 

On second thought... could be the perfect gift for a friend you hate.
