Pennywise's Most Horrific Scene in the 'It' Movies Isn’t the One You Think
The It movies have several scary kills and scenes, the most horrific of which is Dean's death.
Stephen King has written a plethora of great novels over his half-century career. There are plenty of favorites to choose from, like Carrie, The Shining, Misery, and countless more, but his most terrifying is 1986's It, thanks to his iconic villain, an alien in the form of a clown, Pennywise. The novel led to a wildly popular miniseries in 1990, with Tim Curry turning the clown into legend. In 2017, Pennywise returned, as Bill Skarsgård got under the makeup for director Andy Muschietti's reboot. His take was somehow arguably even more scary than Curry's, and 2019's It: Chapter Two has the most shocking, sickening kill. Georgie's death, in the book, the miniseries, and the first film gets all the attention, and rightfully so, as it's the inciting incident, but the sequel has a moment where Pennywise not only kills a child, but forces Bill (James McAvoy) to watch, as both he and the audience are helpless to stop the horror.
