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 prove wrong all those people who told you that clowning around on the internet will never amount to anything good, as we have an amazing It: Chapter Two hamper to give away.

Thematically rich and relentlessly terrifying, the latest film adaptation of Stephen King’s It might not break the mould when it comes to horror movies but serves as an exceptional version of the novel on screen.

Andy Muschietti’s latest version of the Stephen King novel already sounds like it’ll be giving Curry a run for his money, with critics raving about Bill Skarsgard’s portrayal of the ancient demon as an unholy force of nature that terrorises the Losers. That’s a battle that takes place across two eras in the original novel, as the Losers battle It in a coming of age story that reunites the gang for a second round with the murderous Pennywise when they’re well into their adulthood.

Now you can see exactly how disturbing Pennywise is close up, in IT: FLOAT - A Cinematic VR Experience.

Sometimes just reading about something is worse than seeing it. The details of the clip that was shown of It are pretty terrifying.

Bill Skarsgárd looks like he might give Tim Curry a run for his money in the reboot of that cult classic TV movie Stephen King's It.
