17-Year-Old Does An “It”-Themed Photoshoot With His Baby Brother, And It Will Give You Nightmares
Twisted clowns terrify a lot of children, but twisted child clowns easily petrify most adults, too. 17-year-old Mississippi photographer Eagan Tilghman has released pictures of a creative photoshoot he did with his 3-year-old brother Louie, and the results look nightmarishly realistic.
Eagan dressed Louie up as Pennywise from Stephen King’s “It”. The 17-year-old did everything himself, including makeup and creating the chilling costume. Everything was so well produced, even Andy Muschietti, the director for the upcoming movie remake of “It”, appreciated Eagan’s Instagram post with a like.

The brothers are hoping their photoshoot catches the eyes of Ellen DeGeneres

While the photoshoot gave everyone nightmares, Union Pacific Railroad pointed out that the photoshoot could have easily turned into a nightmare itself
The little boy is creepy, but I think that 17-year-old is hot.
Load More Replies...With good reason - too many idiot kids die on train tracks every year. 483 deaths in the US in 2014 (source: Federal Railroad Administration) . Not to mention how life changing it can be for the poor driver who is unable to stop in time.
Load More Replies...I really dislike clowns...but that kid is cute. And scary...especially when he smiles with the clown face!
Okay Union Pacific Railroad, we get the message. Btw, best IT costume ever. I'd not mess with this kid (or the railroad) at night!
I agree that railroad tracks aren't a safe play area or a safe area to hangout on or around, but people still walk along them, at least a few people in my town do.
That was the most awesome thing I've seen all day. Great job, creepy, dark,...awesome!
Union Pacific Railroad has their panties in a twist because now they can't reap anything from this because there was no legal approval....I understand the thought of safety, I get it....they don't want others to mimic with fear that scenario might end bad. REGARDLESS OF THAT SAID----WELL DONE PHOTOGRAPHY!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the brothers' bond. Very amazing and precious
Who else if waiting for the Facebook video of the little boy getting arrested for trespassing? Jeeze, what is not illegal nowadays would be the shorter of list...
He did a great job only one I disagree with is the one on the train tracks, living very close to a track we have seen many killed on the line. His little brother can not be that quick to avoid being killed.
I think it's creative And they are just having fun!!! Truly I think they are amazing especially the water shot super creepy but you can tell the older brother has an eye for photography and it's pretty cool.... let's stay positive people this did not hurt anybody.... just people that are hella negative!!
Dear Union Pacific. If there are no, no trespassing signs posted, you can not enforce a no trespassing law.
Don't take legal advice from random posters on the Internet. State laws vary, but none of them requires a magic "no trespassing" sign. http://www.atdlines.com/pdf/cross-ch9.pdf

Love Love Love Love!!!! I want to do something very similar with my nieces one day
And those are maintained live rails, they're in service. Like another poster said, Kudzu is cut back otherwise in less than a day it'd be covered with that s**t.
Good for UP pointing out RxR lines are NOT a photospot and trespassing.

We have plenty railroad tracks which is closed and not in use but still kept clean and tidy! don't judge if you are ignorant and can say that you know the exact location and that the rails are operating.
ok yes i know train tracks are dangerous and its only one picture and they should have been safer but wouldn't they have heard the train coming they didn't have to say that on a public post at least message them or something
STOP TAKING PHOTOS ON TRAIN TRACKS! Every year a FEW idiots get killed doing a photoshoot on train tracks, I am a photographer and I say STOP IT YOU IDIOTS.
I have always hated clowns. I have never found anything humorous about them. People hiding behind makeup seem sinister to me. It is no wonder so many people feel the same way about them. clowns are creepy as hell!
Child endangerment comes to mind immediately, especially in the photo of the boy on the tracks. That is criminal trespass and the older brother should charged. Where are the authorities when they are needed?
Union Pacific. Pshaw. Y'all should change your name to Buzzkill Pacific. >.< P.S. - lived next to railroad tracks most of my life; safer to walk on them than it is to walk down the sidewalk these days, and perhaps this region-specific, but I ain't EVER, in 25 years, been snuck up on by a friggin' locomotive. Oh, and I too, happen to reside in Mississippi. Unfortunately. It is nice to see this state being portrayed in a positive light by this talented photog and his creepy-yet-strangely-adorable little bro. Mississippi, for a myriad of reasons, most of which you can probably surmise, typically only makes a blip on the internet's radar screen for happenings that make rural Florida look like Valhalla. Yay us.
Well i wanna say i live out in the country and we have rail roads there that are not used anymore cause of road conditions and people take pictures on them all the time to use as profile pictures prom pictures ect. An also the pictures are amazing keep up the good work and im sure one day you will be big
Not sure this was a good idea. The boy is only 3 and even if he and parents say its ok, this unknowingly innocent picture taking can really change his life in his future. This little boy may really be upset with it later on in his life.
Please stay off train tracks. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnbc4i.co%2F2w2DTwR&h=ATNs9siUftRPn10Hht0D8vcpFaHLMLltSw7Skslfv7TRUHRhY4O458zySnHQsRZpJO5P-squo8aodHxF3mLSOdNL7Nn6262dUAqUicmEZXS-LK7afQyOYueEoibsYMzNY63JntcUf9ibksO_J7DKhK_Xt0nP4y0SxD-dXSGsUfk4cMVQ8CtM1W_OupCXMDREZMMrnWgdJltWPsTmnyyZhyxKPa7f7yR2VOydSxPpLYXRfjx1YpJBggHK8pcwsXJRtM9dZb2-lO56PqR-R7bZbw0N7mVN
S**t that was both terrifying and adorable. My brother is much younger than me and I'm kicking myself for not doing something like this when he was 2
I don't see permissions listed and some of the photos have copyrights directly across them. Did you get permission to repost from the photographer? If so, can you edit the article to state that you did?
As a Locomotive Engineer, the only nightmare this gives me is hitting a 3 year old clown at 60 mph with a 24,000 ton train. For many Engineers and Conductors the tell tale thud of hitting a person is forever etched in the heart. The long walk to get to the scene to find a mangled and mutilated body is at best, heart wrenching! To think that the train crew were the last people to see the person alive is unacceptable and preventable. The train crew has to go through several hours of counseling before they can return to work. Some never return to the job. All because someone chose to be irresponsible and trespass onto RR property. The dangers are real! Yes, I have been there and done that!
UPRs' warning just made your chances in getting to Ellen a wee bit smaller.
Well I think he did a great job and I'm pretty sure he was looking out for his baby brother...I have seen many many photos with singers and others taking photos on tracks,and how do they know if he did or didn't make the right calls and ask all the right questions.Good for u and we all loved the great work u have created ..I'm from Maine and Stephen King I bet is loving every minute of everyone getting into his creation...I went by his home just the other day and the famous Red balloon is in his window,Now that's creepy ...
Nice photos. I can understand the concern from union pacific, they could have approaced it differently. Quiet trains my a*s. Come to oro grand some day. Those things are so noisey a deaf person can hear them and im a good 400 yards away. Maybe once in a blue moon one comes along whose wheels were lubricated. However for the most part, the way those things squeek, they can easily be used in a horror movie.
I have lived around train tracks, Unless you are deaf, you can hear an approaching train. A train cannot just show up around a corner or top a steep hill. f**k off and let an artist who is doing zero harm to anyone just be....and create awesome art!
Great makeup job and super brother bonding. Glad I won't go to any of those movies.
Not all train tracks are active though those looked like they were still being used. We had a set going through my town that wasn't used anymore but they never bothered taking them apart.
Where I grew up, Clowns are far from the scariest s**t you'll find on tracks in the woods. Does anyone else hear those Banjos?
Where I come from, there's a lot scarier s**t in the woods on the tracks than goddamn clowns. Do you hear those banjos?
This is art..and that is all it is ..art..folks..And your an excellent photographer ,Check out Stacksocial..com and get some free classes that could benefit you too and I personally encourage you to stay with your dreams and pursue what makes you happy..One fellow clown to another ..I was for the deaf...and they loved clowns because they could hear anyone complaining... thank god ..Holding my son so this is many yrs ago ..but I had a blast and was before clowns became a ''trolling'' menace made from the ''power of suggestions'' of ..i don't even care who ..Clowns are happy people too!! 252485_101...f1d314.jpg
There are closed tracks that are just left clutterin up the country that are safe, as well NO trains still run on them, so maybe they didnt have to come across so cunty
Union Pacific, worst company, ever. Kicked out of Colorado. I constantly had to deal with THEIR illegal shenanigans on a regular basis, like leaving a train over a crossing for 4 hours and making a man walk 12 miles in a lightning storm because of it!
Trains are quiet? ROFL b******t, when I was young we used the tracks to get everywhere.
Shut up, pacific railway. Yeah sure it's dangerous but "it's trespassing and illegal" and blah blah blah. Whatever. Idiots
Lighten up Francis, why don't you go take a nap on the tracks for a while?
Load More Replies...yep im sure to have nightmares now the only thing that scares me more than clowns is creepy children and this has both
Wow Union Pacific way to bring down a happy thread. Unfortunately I guess they have to tell people this because common sense is not a flower that grows in everyone's garden.
GET WAY FROM THE TRAIN TRACKS. Trespassing on private property and they are DANGEROUS. why or why would you subject your 3-year old brother to that ? Earlier this year (March 16th) , a 19 year old model was doing a photo shoot on train tracks. Was hit by a train & died instantly. And yes, the conductor saw her, but could not stop in time.
Clowns are still not scary. Seven years old or not. Yes, the photos are creative, but not scary, not chilling, not anything other than good photos.
union pacific railway took my idea of talking about the child on the tracks
This is not creative, it's repetitive and cloying. The photographer put together two very basic outfits and the make-up is very basic as well. The photos are alright, I guess, but to pander to Ellen is embarrassing.
This is a 17 year old child. What were YOU doing at that age?
