Pennywise the Dancing Clown (a still terrifying Bill Skarsgård) returns to create more mayhem in director Andy Muschietti’s “It Chapter 2,” the follow-up to his 2017 adaptation of the first part of Stephen King’s 1,138-page opus.

“Chapter 2” picks up 27 years after the self-proclaimed Losers Club — a group of six outcasts in the fictional town of Derry, Maine — defeated It, a shapeshifting entity that can take the form of one’s fears, but whose preferred form is a clown with a disturbing grin, a tendency to drool and a taste for children.
