The official Alabama football Twitter account is having a little fun with the header photo feature these days.

Maybe it has to do with Halloween being right around the corner.

Or maybe the Crimson Tide is embracing the role of Pennywise, the clown from the movie "It," for a different reason.

Earlier this season, in advance of the Alabama-Texas A&M game, a hype video was made depicting Alabama coach Nick Saban as Pennywise.

The video, which is a take off the trailer for IT, re-imagines the storyline of when children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine. A group of kids are faced with their biggest fears when they face a clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

Now, a Alabama's Twitter handle dons the picture of Pennywise as No. 1 Alabama prepares to host No. 19 LSU at 7 p.m. on Saturday on CBS.

It appears LSU players aren't intimidated.

Linebacker Devin White said Monday Alabama is a like a bigger brother that you are finally bigger and stronger than.
