The original story of Stephen King's It may have come in 1986 with the groundbreaking horror novel, but the story of Pennywise the Dancing Clown and The Losers Club became a cultural touchstone in 1990 with the critically acclaimed and utterly terrifying miniseries starring Tim Curry that scared the living daylights out of any foolish soul brave enough to watch. From horrifying feats of violence to some of the most unique, intriguing, hilarious, and terrifying Pennywise quotes, the film instantly became a global sensation that shocked and scared the world to death.

Then, 27 years later, the world saw the return of the demented killer clown in the global sensation It and its 2019 sequel, It: Chapter 2, two films that helped change the world of horror, forever. Going into even greater detail and terror than the first, Bill Skarsgard made the character his own, providing fans with even more iconic moments and memorable Pennywise quotes. The psychotic killer clown and eater of worlds is one of the most revered horror characters of all time, and with each passing installment, fight, and spine-chilling line of dialog, his legend only grows.
