Stephen King's The Clown's Pocket 1995 **
Gregory Peck plays Atticus Smart an ageing circus owner down on his luck.  On the verge of bankruptcy Smart is offered a deal by Satan himself (Leonard Nimmoy).  In exchange for his soul, he is offered the cream of Hell's circus performers.  Skeletal acrobats, bearded zombies, ephereal elephants and creepy clowns.  Smart agrees and the devil warns him that he can never look inside the clowns pocket or it will all go pear shaped.  The circus makes an absolute fortune but Smart is driven mad by his curiosity about the contents of the clown's pocket.  "Aaaaaagh! What's in there?" he screams at night.  No spoilers you will have to watch it to see for yourself.
