HE’S THE MAN BEHIND ONE OF THE BIGGEST HORROR ICONS OF RECENT YEARS – AND B I L L S K A R S G Å R D SAYS YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE SEEN THE LAST OF PENNYWISE THE DANCING CLOWN…
DARREN SCOTT
THE IT FACTOR

WHEN PENNYWISE MADE his big screen debut in 2017’s IT, he was only ever due to have two cinematic outings. But then the first chapter became the highest-grossing horror film of all time… So, as the concluding part of Stephen King’s demonic clown masterpiece is released on shiny disc, the man behind the mask – Bill Skarsgård – isn’t quite sure the nightmare is over.

“This is, from what we know at least,” he quickly adds, “the end of a chapter, in terms of me and Andy [Muschietti, director], who have been working on these past two movies for the last couple of years. This is the end. It’s saying goodbye to a character.”

Hang on – we all know it’s never really goodbye in horror movies… Skarsgård laughs. “Not when it comes to money movies, I guess. If you have a success, they’re going to milk 14 out of them!”

There’s no hesitation when asked if he’d ever slip into the clown costume again.
