Actor Bill Skarsgård stands in front of the red curtain of a stage.
In 2017, Bill Skarsgård went from being known as another one of the Skarsgård brothers to the most famous member of the whole family when he was cast to play Pennywise in It. He looked absolutely terrifying in the makeup, but it was his voice that really sold the character. While Tim Curry chose just to go a little deeper for his portrayal of the killer clown in the 1990 miniseries, Skarsgård lowered his voice dramatically to come across as more innocent and childlike.

To find Orlok's voice, Skarsgård was sent to work with an opera singer from Iceland named Ásgerður Júníusdóttir, who told him to place his voice out of his forehead. He added that, “a lot of it was just the technicality of rooting the voice as deep as you can in your body and using your entire body to make the voice resonate."
Bill Skarsgård's Voice Is What Makes Count Orlok So Scary The introduction of Count Orlok is held off as long as possible. At first, he's just a name, then a shadow, and then seen in glimpses. It's not any different from the approach of the best monster movies, like Jaws, when the horror is in what we don't see. When we do finally see him, it's terrifying, because this isn't the usual pale guy with bat ears and rat teeth. Orlok is a rotting mess.
