65-year-old man dons a clown mask to frighten naughty kids and earn a living


The 65-year-old man of Naples, Florida, earns a living by wearing the mask of a wicked clown and frightening naughty kids - he goes by the name of "Wrinkles," and he is seen at gatherings, in public and outside people's homes for the past few years.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 4 November 2015.
His real face and identity is always hidden beneath a distinctive mask with large black eye holes and receding, white hair. He loves to wear a polka dot onesie with black rubber gloves and carries a colorful bundle of balloons in one hand. He also sports a slight paunch that imparts him with the unnerving appearance of a menacing, man-size baby who lurks in sewers and children's closets.
In exchange of a few hundred bucks cash, he would make an appearance at the party or gathering, prank your friend or even scare your misbehaving kid straight.
Wrinkles is believed to be a 65-year-old Rhode Island transplant and military veteran. He had worked in various jobs throughout his career before retiring a few years ago. He is divorced and does not have family ties. He had moved to Florida about five years ago to escape the cold New England winters and settle into a more relaxed life.
