Just finished watching Stephen King's "It" with Pennywise the Clown.

"It feasts on the flesh of humans simply because our fears are easy to manifest and they make us taste better. According to It, when humans got scared, "all the chemicals of fear flooded the body and salted the meat". This is why he prefers to feast on children – their fears are simple, pure, and powerful compared to the complex, pathological fears of adults. Basically, children are delicious."
