The New “IT” Balloon Lamp From Firebox Is A Perfect Way To Keep The Derry Sewers Lit

by Chris HammondOctober 19, 2019

The new and entertaining Officially Licensed Pennywise Balloon Lamp is now available for preorder for £29.99 from gadget and gift webstore Firebox. With the recently released film IT Part 2 fresh on everyone’s mind, bring the creepy vibes home with ambient glow of red reminding your visitors that an ancient evil is near.

This terrifying twist on home illumination stands around 14 inches tall, is USB powered and incorporates a mock “balloon string” as a stand. Don’t share the fact that the on/off switch is located at the base of the balloon, because you never know if Pennywise is lurking in the shadows.

“Warning: This balloon does not produce a clown-shaped shadow. If you see one, RUN. You are in immediate danger. Vacate the premises immediately. Pennywise appearance imminent.”

Check out the Firebox website for additional creepy horror-themed gadgets, such as the Officially Licensed Pennywise Icon Light available for £11.99.

The horror bug that lives inside me is well cared for and has been going strong since I watched my first introduction to horror through a grainy VHS copy of John Carpenter's 1978 classic film Halloween.
