In Chapter 1 I found the painting and the headless boy more unsettling than the clown.

[(Anonymous)]

I think that's what was scary about Curry's version to me. He looked like a normal clown and he could smile and appear friendly, and then he'd flip the switch.

The new version just always looks like an evil clown.

Not in the scenes with Georgie in ch1 or the birthmark girl in ch2

Yeah, with the Curry Pennywise, he ordinarily looked much more bright and friendly, and very much the way children of the fifties would see a clown as familiar and trustworthy-- these were the days of Bozo on TV, plus a bunch of smaller regional TV clowns, like... clowns weren't considered scary, and a child following a clown was a fairly reasonable thing to expect a kid to do-- if you saw a clown out on the street, you'd think he was promoting something going on and that it would be harmless to follow and check it out. To have that go from looking very much like the average friendly clown to becoming something horrific had a power to it.


With the Skarsgard Pennywise, like... even when he's at his friendliest appearance, he looks creepier-- his costume isn't colorful, he doesn't look like a TV clown... not to mention, in the 80s, not only were clowns not common in kids' entertainment the way they were a generation prior, but Stranger Danger was a much bigger thing, PLUS there had been a serial killer clown within recent enough memory that clowns would have become scary even in a universe where you can't blame scary clowns on the existence of IT. It's just harder to swallow the clown guise working as well and there's less of a shock to it.


(I don't get the Skarsgard sex appeal, though, so that doesn't factor in for me. Now Tim Curry is a very sexy man, but... not as Pennywise. Definitely his least sexy role)

Honestly, if you wanted to get the same sense of cognitive dissonance that Curry!Pennywise generates but updated for the 80s, Skarsgard!Pennywise should have gone for more of a sinister Ronald McDonald vibe. Ronald's the friendly clown that 80s kids would have been most familiar with.

Bill is damn sexy op

[(Anonymous)]

Not the OP but... yessssss, he is.

I just have to disagree on the fact that clowns are creepy in general (that's just an opinion), I'm fine with normal ones but creepy caricatures that do scary shit are a NO from me.

And I'm tired of going into clown tags and finding tons of edgy/creepy clowns :\
