Red balloons are appearing near sewers in St. Pete, and across the country
Halloween fun
The balloons were attached to paper boats with the words “S.S. Georgie.”

If I saw one of those I would have a damned heart attack. My kids accidently scared me with a partly deflated balloon shortly after I read that book the first time. I hope to never again hear the sound that I made! 
*someone's at the door* <---the other really creepy thing that still gets me
I am a little shaky just reading that! That book and the TV movie just blew me away. It was Tim Curry that sold it for me although I did enjoy the rest of the cast as well. I did not get to see the new movie, will be catching on TV someday.
That is quite a story! She should have warned you, that would be scary on any day but after IT? In the bathroom? I bet you did not wash your hands that time! LOL.
Mine was one balloon left in the living room after a birthday party one of the boys had been to. I had to get up in the middle of the night because I could not sleep. I came downstairs, the balloon had lost most of its helium and you could not see it, it had dropped below the back of the couch. I guess the breeze I created walking by it caused it to just slowly rise above the couch, caught in the moonlight and I lost it. Like I said, I don't know what I would call the sound I made but it was an ugly, loud thing. I am glad I was so much younger then.
The sink drain was weird enough but after the balloons? Oh dear. Oh dear.
Still, I adore Stephen King. He has scared the bejesus out of me on so many occasions but I cannot help but love him and wait breathlessly for the next book. 
I did not read him right away. My first was The Shining. I was living in an upstairs apartment in a large old house by the university I was going to. I had a cat and a dog but there were bad things all around the area, lots of problems. Anyway, I was not worried living there until I read that book. It was spring time into summer and as I was in my bedroom I heard this oooooooo oooooo ooooooooooooo. Now I know it was just pigeons in the attic, old house with holes here and there but it did not make any difference. I was so spooked by that book, my very first King book that I KNEW there were ghosts up there. I probably slept on the sleeping porch or living room for the summer.
He has not left many safe places has he? He has covered them all delightfully. Scratching at the door. I have not read that one in a long time, perhaps I should again. I am on the library wait list for the newest that he wrote with his son. I just re-read (listened) to Duma Key. Have you watched Mr. Mercedes? My husband likes it, we are way behind though. It is a bit different than the book which I loved, that whole trilogy was fun to read. SO many, they are all favorites.
I wish we had gotten together when you lived close. I think we would have had a great time talking. 
We all float down here.
