Wrinkles was paid by a couple of parents in south Florida five years ago to hide under their troublesome daughter's bed and scare her so much the threat of him returning would mean she never stepped out of line again.

The clown's popularity skyrocketed when a video of the stunt went viral, and other parents tied to hire him for their own kids.

Now, Wrinkles' story is being told by Magnolia Pictures and Magnet Releasing, with the terrifying entertainer admitting the 2014 job changed his life.

He says in the documentary trailer: ''No one was hiring me when I was just a regular clown.''
