Scary clowns were under the radar for a while — until Andrés Muschietti's 2017 film reintroduced Stephen King's Pennywise (and, consequently, killer clowns) to general audiences. With upswept red hair and an unsettling grin, Bill Skarsgård follows Tim Curry's infamous footsteps as the shape-shifting evil clown. Both a coming-of-age tale and a psychological horror story, the movie follows seven young outcasts as they piece together clues about Pennywise one summer in Derry, ME. It centers on Bill (Jaeden Martell), whose brother, Georgie, is viciously killed by the deranged clown. That said, it's not only Bill's circus. Viewers get to see how each child's individual fear manifests, as the group bands together to confront Pennywise.
