- Skarsgård initially felt 'done' with playing monsters after his intense physical transformation for the 'Nosferatu' remake, but couldn't pass up the chance to reprise his iconic role as Pennywise for the 'Welcome to Derry' prequel series.
- Shooting the climactic scene for 'Nosferatu' was so physically demanding that Skarsgård's sweat created a 'giant bubble' on his stomach that had to be drained between takes, giving a glimpse into the gory, exhausting process of bringing these horror creatures to life.
