The number of cyclists hit by cars per year would be a truly shocking thing for the clown from It to transform into, especially since 20% of the movie was kids on bikes. For example, in 2015, 5,376 people were killed in crashes, which amounts to 15 people per year. If the clown transformed into a FiveThirtyEightstyle graph of that statistic, everyone would be scared, and not just people who are scared of graphs.

Fuck, the statistic on how many pedestrians get hit by cars per year is even more horrifying. Imagine Pennywise riding a bar graph of those numbers like an evil slide then devouring you at the end.
