No, it's just a character Stephen King created for one his books, It.
In the Stephen King novel "It" Pennywise the clown is actually not a human, he is a were-spider (which is to say, a spider who has the power to take on human form), who in the Dark Tower series turns out to be the Crimson King, the most evil being in all the universes.
