The most famous clown of all is without a doubt Pennywise. A terror beyond mortal reckoning, Pennywise is the apex predator of the clown species and perhaps Stephen King’s most famous creation. Immortalised by Tim Curry in the It mini-series originally, he’s had a resurgence of late thanks to a blockbuster film and a sequel which deserves no adjective. Bill Skarsgard put on a hell of a performance as the horror icon, and if you’re not too concerned about being choked to death in your sleep by tiny plastic hands, then you’ll probably want this collectible from Hot Toys:

It's time to return to Derry, Maine as Pennywise the clown is back to his evil ways. But will the Losers Club be up for the fight?

Every day, Mondo pops into the news with a stunning custom poster dedicated to the fine art of cinema, but this weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con has seen them debut a ton of new posters that look utterly incredible.

Twenty-seven years after the Losers Club defeated Pennywise, he has returned to terrorize the town of Derry once more. Now adults, the Losers have long since gone their separate ways. However, kids are disappearing again, so Mike, the only one of the group to remain in their hometown, calls the others home. Damaged by the experiences of their past, they must each conquer their deepest fears to destroy Pennywise once and for all...putting them directly in the path of the clown that has become deadlier than ever.

Clowns are supposed to be fun and friendly tricksters who make you laugh. Making them this terrifying is just not right.
