It is the titular shapeshifting antagonist of the miniseries whose primary form is a wisecracking clown named Pennywise, played by Tim Curry. Curry used Robin Williams -esque natural improvisation when playing Pennywise, giving the character a Bronx accent in order to sound like, as Curry put it, "an old-time Catskills comic."

It's no secret that the Itminiseries did not have a lot to work with when it came to special effects. Unlike the terrifying arsenal of Pennywise's surrealistic antics that the movies were able to create, the miniseries had to work primarily with practical effects.

Bill Skarsgard's portrayal of Pennywise was eerie and unworldly even before it was edited and enhanced with special effects. While Tim Curry's Pennywise terrorized the Losers by obnoxiously bullying them, the film version of Pennywise took on a much more unsettling approach.

Before he brought Pennywise to life in 1990, Tim Curry spent his acting career starring in films and TV shows that were much more lighthearted than Itwas meant to be. Due to his background in comedy, Tim Curry brought his signature eccentric humor with him when he portrayed Pennywise. His version of the demon clown brought a completely obnoxious, l...
Bill Skarsgard portrayed Pennywise in a way that was much more accurate to how he was depicted in the book. The character of Pennywise was never meant to be grounded in reality, as he was not a creature from our dimension. He was from another world entirely, which makes him all the more terrifying and extremely difficult to defeat. RELATED:IT: 10 T...
Obviously, when the two are compared, Tim Curry's Pennywise does not look nearly as menacing as Bill Skarsgard, but that doesn't discount this portrayal. Rather than benefitting from a completely terrifying appearance, Tim Curry was dressed up to look like a regular clown. RELATED: IT: 5 Reasons Pennywise Can Defeat Freddy Krueger (And 5 Why Freddy...
Pennywise is a horror villain known for unlocking his victims' greatest fears and bringing them to life. This was portrayed in the miniseries, but Bill Skarsgard and Andy Muscietti took it to the next level in the films. As the Losers' Club grew up and became adults, their fears changed and morphed into different terrifying ideas. As the kids grew ...
Tim Curry took Pennywise's taunting and brought it to the next level. In fact, most of the character's screentime in the miniseries consisted of him obnoxiously tormenting the kids, whether bombarding Eddie in the gym shower or goading Richie with a noisemaker, Tim Curry made Pennywise into more of an obnoxious, ridiculing psychopath, than a demon ...
The miniseries tried to bring to life some of the most iconic scenes from the book, but with dated and cheap effects, these moments didn't exactly land well and ended up being more laughable than impactful. In the movies' case, Pennywise's illusions were brought to life in a completely intense fashion. RELATED: IT: 1o Things That Make No Sense Abou...
One thing that the movies unfortunately glossed over was the absolutely terrifying effect that Pennywise actually had on the adults and Derry as a whole. Pennywise primarily preyed on children, and to do this, he had the adults wrapped around his finger. In the miniseries, this is touched on several times. In one scene, Beverly is being tormented b...
In the miniseries, a grown-up Eddie states that Pennywise was "about 75 feet tall" upon finally remembering the harrowing events that occurred in Derry. In the book, Pennywise often morphed into a giant version of himself, but the only problem is that the miniseries never actually ever portrayed this. In the movies, Pennywise famously takes on a hu...
The acting is very goood, especially John Ritter as a successful architect and Tim Curry as the terrifying Pennywise the Clown. There are some spooky moments, but nothing that I would describe as absolutely horrifying. This is an unusually deep and detailed horror film, well worth seeing.
