10 Iconic Horror Actors In Real Life

10. Pennywise In It - Bill Skarsgard

From the absolutely wild reception of It: Chapter One, most will have seen the eminently creepy clown Pennywise in one form or another across the marketing of Andy Muschietti's seminal horror movie - but whether you've caught the smiling son of Stellan Skarsgard hiding underneath depends on how closely you've been paying attention.

Objectively a pretty normal man considering he's not actually a murderous clown out to feast on terrified children, Bill Skarsgard plays the supernatural baddie with a disturbing sense of mania - drooling and laughing as much as he's breaking arms and eating flesh.

Appearing in the first It and slated for the second, it would be an easy guess to say he's a horror movie specialist considering his performance - but ol' Bill has a filmography full of roles in drama movies instead. Nice to know Pennywise is a lover underneath all the limb eating I guess.
