Stitches

Stitches, the clown, is with a woman in his camper when she notices an egg encased in a glass tube with a painted face. He explains that they made him do it when he signed up, hinting at a dark pact. The egg's presence hints at a supernatural connection that will haunt him later.

Stitches arrives late to Tommy's tenth birthday party and tries to entertain the children. The kids ridicule him, undermining his confidence and turning the room hostile. The mood shifts from festive to menacing as the clown's presence unsettles everyone.

Vinnie ties Stitches' shoelaces while Tommy kicks a soccer ball toward him, triggering a disaster. The ball knocks him into a kitchen knife on the other side of the room, injuring his face. The knife penetrates his eye and the room erupts with terrified screams as the real horror of the party begins.

The accident proves fatal for Stitches, and blood spills as the party turns to chaos. Later, Tommy visits Stitches' grave and finds a group of clowns entering an abandoned building. The Motley leads a ritual around Stitches' egg, and the other clowns pledge that a clown who dies unfinished will never rest.

Six years pass and Tommy approaches his sixteenth birthday haunted by memories and visions. He experiences terrifying hallucinations, including a clown maiming a friend in a nightmare. He debates hosting a huge party versus a smaller gathering and ultimately plans a big celebration.

Vinnie secretly spreads invitations online, while Tommy, Vinnie, Richie, and Bulger prepare the house. They also enlist Kate, Tommy's old crush, to attend. The atmosphere blends nostalgia with dread as the party approaches.

Stitches rises from his grave and appears at the party, startling Tommy and the guests. The cheerful celebration collapses into fear as the living clown begins to hunt. The party atmosphere turns into a nightmare as the murders begin in earnest.

Stitches attacks Paul in the house, leaving him grievously harmed in a brutal display. The others scramble to respond as the killer continues his rampage through the party. The danger escalates with each passing moment.

Stitches locates Bulger in the attic, and uses a grotesque method to kill him by opening his skull and removing his brain. The violence escalates the terror inside the house. The party's support structure begins to collapse as fear spreads.

Sarah, Paul's girlfriend, enters the attic to search for him and is attacked by Stitches, who drives an umbrella through her skull. The group realizes the danger is personal and immediate. The body count continues to rise as the clown closes in.

Tommy uses a telescope to spot Stitches inside the house and tries to warn Kate and the other partygoers, but they don't believe him at first. The party continues, while danger closes in. Tommy's credibility is questioned at a crucial moment.

Outside, Stitches attacks Richie, ripping out his intestines and shaping them into a balloon animal before inflating him. His head eventually explodes due to the inflation, heightening the sense of peril. The nightmare spills out beyond the walls of the house.

Tommy stabs Stitches, and Vinnie covers him with a blanket as they escape. They manage to rescue Kate from the clutches of the clown, but Kate is knocked unconscious in the struggle. The trio fights to reach safety while the killer pursues.

Stitches corners Tommy and Kate in the graveyard den and taunts them about which death would be funnier to watch. Vinnie ties Stitches' shoelaces to slow him down, and Tommy flips a coin to decide who will die. The coin lands as Stitches trips, dropping his egg and triggering the final catastrophe.

Tommy forces Stitches to smash the egg, triggering a fatal explosion of clown supplies and yolk. Six months later, Tommy has moved to a new house and is dating Kate. In the graveyard den, The Motley pieces Stitches' broken egg back together, implying that the clown may return.
