Pennywise, the terrifying clown from the It universe, is back! It’s hard to imagine a more iconic villain. The new series, Welcome to Derry, smartly held off showing Bill Skarsgård’s full transformation until the fifth episode. Now that he’s finally here, the results are truly chilling. HBO has released a fascinating timelapse video showing how the incredible makeup and prosthetics bring Pennywise to life. It’s a fantastic behind-the-scenes look, and joins other impressive character transformations we admire, like Walton Goggins as The Ghoul and Jacob Elordi as Frankenstein’s Monster. You can see Bill Skarsgård become Pennywise in the video below.

HBO Shares a Timelapse Video of Bill Skarsgård’s Transformation Into Welcome to Derry‘s Pennywise

Get ready, fans of Pennywise! Bill Skarsgård is back as the terrifying clown in IT: Welcome to Derry, and you can see how he transforms in this amazing video. He’s played Pennywise in IT, IT: Chapter Two, and now IT: Welcome to Derry – he’s clearly a pro at becoming the demonic clown, and it’s still incredibly impressive to watch!

We think practical effects, like the incredible transformation of Bill Skarsgård into Pennywise, are far more effective than computer-generated imagery. The detailed process of applying layers of prosthetics, then carefully adding makeup and paint, truly allows the actor to become the character. And when Pennywise finally smiles? It’s genuinely chilling! This video of the transformation is mesmerizing – even knowing how evil the character is, you can’t help but be captivated by his appearance. We’d be helpless against him, that’s for sure.

Pennywise Has Finally Arrived on Welcome to Derry

I’ll never forget Pennywise’s terrifying debut in Welcome to Derry – it was absolutely chilling! And honestly, I have a feeling that was just a taste of what’s to come. Despite everything, I’m completely captivated and can’t wait to see Bill Skarsgård bring that terrifying character to life again and again. He’s just mesmerizing as Pennywise.
