    So I was at San Diego Comic-Con and found myself in the panel for Castle Rock.

    The audience was treated to the entire first episode of the Stephen King-inspired series, which was followed by the cast all coming out on the stage for a Q&A.

    And I was like: "Cool, neat, awesome, but hold TF up, wait a sweet minute, IS THIS THE BILL SKARSGARD GUY EVERYONE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT???"

    Because I'm assuming it isn't Sissy Spacek.

    Hot-diggity-clown-in-a-sewer, I was SHOOK. I had never seen him outside of his IT get-up before, so I thought ya'll were a little loopy thinking Pennywise was a ~sewer prince~.

    You mean to tell me I've been dating amatuer clowns when I could've been thirsting after this man who ACTUALLY plays a clown?

    Sorry, exes, but it was an easy joke and I regret nothing.

    Just look at him, all cuddled up with a horror icon, looking right at home.

    Here's a picture of him staring longingly at me in the audience as I plan our spring Stephen King-themed wedding.*

    *JK, I was sitting on the other side of the room, but seriously just let me have this one? I have so little.

    Okay, okay, so I know you guys already knew about him, BUT I'M JUST FINDING OUT, SO JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME.
