We’d play with Pennywise anytime
The thought of Stephen King’s “It” has caused many of us sleepless nights. Do you want to overcome your clown trauma? Then take a look at Bill Skarsgård without makeup. As long as his make-up is removed, we would let Pennywise lure us into a dark cave without balloons at any time.

No offense to his predecessor Tim Curry, but we propose that Bill Skarsgård will go down in history as the hottest horror clown of all time.
Doug Jones, das Universalmonster
You’ve definitely seen Doug Jones before, but never recognized him. The American describes himself on Instagram as “that tall, thin guy”. With his stature and a talent for painful-looking gymnastics, he is made for his job.
Jones has specialized in the representation of movie monsters, he plays among other things the eyeless creature in Pan’s labyrinth, the good-natured Aquarius in “Shape of Water”, the underwater creature Abe in “Hellboy” and the Kelpian Saru in “Star Trek: Discovery ”.
And how does he look now without a mask? Relatively unspectacular.

Without a mask and murderous finger extensions we would never have recognized him.
Yes, we admit that this article has some kind of therapeutic function. We find it very reassuring to see that the monsters are actually just made-up normal people. Was one of the revelations particularly surprising for you?
