Jordan's mother, Stephanie Garcia, said her son enjoys creating his own scary films with his iPad and has even met the directors of "Annabelle" and "The Conjuring."

"Whatever character he's in we'll say, 'Hey Jordan come here!' and he'll say, 'No, don't call me Jordan. I'm Pennywise,'" Garcia of Houston told ABC News. "He loves what he does and hopefully it'll all come true and he'll get to make movies [professionally] someday."
