6. IT (1990)
Pennywise the Clown was best known for his petrifying appearance in IT, the movie was adapted from a novel by Stephen King. Actor Tim Curry, who took on the lead role, did such a good job of capturing how creepy the character was, that the cast and crew began to avoid him on set in between takes. Which probably explains why he is taking a break all on his lonesome in the above candid photograph.
Alice Cooper was originally cast for the role after Curry refused to take on the project due to the amount of hours he would have to spend in make-up everyday. Curry then changed his mind at the last minute and we couldn’t imagine anyone else delivering such a chilling performance.
