It: Bill Skarsgard on Becoming Pennywise the Clown

Den of Geek

The year of Stephen King truly kicked off with the big screen adaptation It, which reintroduced the horrifying Pennywise the Clown for a new generation of screaming kids. More than $600 million later, It has became a major box office hit — an incredible feat for a horror flick. In fact, in less than two months, It has become the highest grossing horror movie of all time.

A lot of the film's success has to do with its monster, of course.
