A new IT featurette takes a look at the making of Bill Skarsgard’s Pennywise.
While Pennywise appears frequently during the film, his time on-screen is still quite brief overall, with the character also sometimes being realized via CGI.
This allowed Muschetti to get the actors’ real reactions to seeing Skarsgard in his full Pennywise glory for the first time.
While the horror genre has played host to plenty of terrifying clowns, arguably the most iconic in history is Pennywise the Dancing Clown, created by legendary author Stephen King for his 1986 novel IT.
