IT, better known in its preferred form as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and alternatively known as Robert "Bob" Gray, is the titular main antagonist of the 1986 novel of the same name by Stephen King and its subsequent television, film adaptations, and the 2025 prequel TV series Welcome to Derry.
It is an ancient, otherworldly, and eldritch cosmic entity that takes the form of one's worst terrors (particularly of children) before feeding on them. Since crash-landing onto Earth, it has terrorized a region that would become the township of Derry, Maine, all while taking the form of a dancing clown named Pennywise in modern times. It would become the archenemy of the Losers Club (primarily Bill Denbrough, the older brother of deceased Georgie Denbrough, who seeks to avenge him), being the main reason the group was formed.
Pictures of It's main form, Pennywise, are commonly used in screamers, like in other videos, games, and websites.
Portrayals
It as Pennywise was portrayed by the late Tim Curry in the 1990 miniseries, and Bill Skarsgård in the two-part film adaptation and the prequel TV series It: Welcome to Derry.
