"Super cool surprise to a horror movie buff like me," Stout told KDKA.

This isn't the first time that red balloons have been found in neighborhoods.

When the first "IT" came out in 2017, a Lancaster County police department posted that they were terrified after red balloons were found tied to sewer grates.

"We want the local prankster to know that we were completely terrified as we removed these balloons and respectfully request they do not do that again," the Lititz Borough Police Department said.
