The original Pennywise is a form of It, the ancient evil haunting Derry, Maine for many generations, and the TV miniseries version has it's own history to analyze!
THEY FLOAT. Before Bill Skarsgård’s sinister smile haunted a screens everywhere in 2017, Tim Curry’s Pennywise from the 1990 IT mini-series was burned into the nightmares of an entire generation. But I've always seen this version of the cosmic clown as a separate canon from the book and movies, making It a unique entity to breakdown the history of.
In this video, I’ll explore the terrifying timeline of Pennywise, how the 1990 adaptation made Stephen King's character from the page into a horror of its own, and what makes this version so uniquely unnerving. Tim Curry’s Pennywise became one of the most iconic horror villains of all time… and may still be the scariest.
