Bill Skarsgård wasn’t the only actor who got to play the toothy role of Pennywise the Dancing Clown on It: Welcome to Derry .

In Episode 5, Miles Ekhardt got to try the role on for size, too, after his character, Matty Clements, returned from the sewers to join the new losers on a mission into the underground. Though Matty initially presented himself as the real deal, claiming to have survived in Pennywise’s lair for the last four months, he was actually luring them down to the sewers. He revealed the It hiding within in a truly creepy song-and-dance moment as young Matty morphed into the killer clown.

To break down that terrifying transformation, his wild opening scare scene, and more, TV Insider caught up with It: Welcome to Derry star Miles Ekhardt!
