The New Forms of IT in Welcome to Derry, by Mr. X

Published on March 16, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

In the series Welcome to Derry, the Mr. X visual effects team expands the repertoire of forms of the entity IT. Beyond the clown Pennywise, the creature adopts appearances such as a moose, a man, and a baby. These manifestations seek to reinforce the unpredictable and terrifying nature of the being, adding layers of horror to the narrative. The visual work builds a constant ominous atmosphere.

A spectral moose, a deformed man, and an unsettling baby emerge from Pennywise's shadow, expanding IT's visual horror.

Design and execution of IT's transformations 🎭

The development, supervised by Daryl Sawchuk, focused on bringing organic transitions and credible creature designs to life. A combination of CGI animation and practical elements was used to achieve a tangible impact. The challenge was to maintain IT's supernatural essence while integrating it into recognizable yet disturbing forms. The process involved detailed work on textures, lighting, and simulation of non-human movements.

A truly versatile résumé 📄

Credit where it's due: IT is expanding its portfolio. It's no longer content with being a clown that scares in sewers; now it aspires to roles as a moose, neighborhood man, and newborn. That's what eternity offers—time to reinvent itself and try new genres. That said, its agency, Mr. X, ensures that in every role it keeps that personal touch that defines it: making you want to run out of the room.
