  • Other Appearances

  • IT: Pennywise’s Appearances In Other Stephen King Books:

    • Gray Matter (1973) – In the short story, the narrator mentioned having a friend who once worked in the sewers near Bangor, Maine. One day the man returned from the sewers with bright white hair and claimed to have seen a giant spider. The man must have looked into Pennywise’s Deadlights, which would explain what happened to his hair. It’s important to note that Gray Matter was published 13 years before IT was released.

    • The Tommyknockers (1987) – The main character, Tommy Jacklin, made a supply run in Derry during The Tommyknockers. While in town, Tommy supposedly saw a “clown with shiny silver dollars for eyes” looking at him from the sewer drains. This marked Pennywise’s only proper appearance outside of IT, but it could have been a hallucination.

    • Insomnia (1994) – The novel, Insomnia, was set in Derry, the same location featured in IT. The book referenced the events that occurred in town following Pennywise’s first defeat. There were also mentions of Deadlights and a character that referred to itself as Kingfish, just like Pennywise.

    • Dreamcatcher (2001) – King’s novel, Dreamcatcher, was set near Derry, Maine. One of the characters took a detour to the town and ended up at the water storage standpipe. Since the tower had previously been destroyed, a plaque stood in its place to honor the victims. On the memorial, someone had spray-painted “Pennywise Lives” insinuating that the entity could still be alive.

    • 11/22/63 (2011) – In the novel, the main character, Jake Epping, traveled back in time to Derry in 1958 where he met a young Beverly Marsh and Richie Tozier. The interaction took place after the Losers’ Club first encounter with Pennywise. Jake even overheard them mention the clown but didn’t know what they meant.

    • Elevation (2018) – King’s novella was set in the fictional town of Castle Rock but there was one reference to the infamous clown. At one point, the narrator described the changing of seasons in the Maine town and the excitement for Halloween. He mentioned that the local high school would be holding their annual Halloween dance where the local band, Big Top, was playing. For the event, the band changed its name to Pennywise and the Clowns.

    • Pennywise, isn’t a unique being in this universe and instead is part of a race of seemingly eternal monsters. In The Dark Tower, the main antagonist, the Crimson King, shares attributes with Pennywise. Both emit Deadlights, which are supernatural lights that human beings cannot comprehend, so they go mad when gazing upon them. Another being, Dandelo, is associated with Pennywise because he, too, is an ancient evil that appears as a giant insect in his true form, and feeds off the emotions of his victims.

  • Book Differences

    • Unlike the original novel and the 1990 miniseries, in this film, Beverly Marsh had to kill her abusive father in self-defense. Similarly, in Carrie (1976) as well as the original novel and its subsequent adaptations, Carrie White had to kill her abusive mother in self-defense. Both films are based on novels by Stephen King.

    • Eddie’s encounter with The Leper in the novel was much more disturbing. In the novel, he encounters Pennywise as The Leper outside of Neibolt House and is chased by the creature. As the creature chases him, he’s masturbating in his pants and making vulgar remarks toward Eddie.

    • Some of the more graphic scenes in the book involving the children were left out of the movie, including Patrick giving Henry a handjob, Patrick suffocating his infant brother, Bev continuously being beaten by her father, and the infamous orgy scene with Bev in the sewer.

    • In the film, Henry Bowers partially carving his name onto Ben Hanscom’s stomach is depicted as a random act of cruelty. In the novel, Henry specifically targets Ben because he tried to force Ben to let him cheat off his test in school. Ben refused, and as a result Henry failed the test and was required to attend summer school.

  • Trivia

    • Pennywise has only four minutes of dialogue in the entire film.

    • Sophia Lillis says that she had to stand on a box in some scenes as, at only five feet tall, she is the shortest of the cast.

    • The teeth prosthetics that Bill Skarsgård wore as Pennywise made him drool profusely. Director Andy Muschietti liked this as that the drooling adds onto the ravenous nature of Pennywise.

    • (at around 2h 10 mins) After the credits roll Pennywise can be heard laughing, foreshadowing his return for part two.

    • (at around 1h 55 mins) During the scene where Pennywise is luring Bill, under the guise of Georgie before the climactic battle in the sewers, Bill clearly knew it wasn’t his brother. This is due to, besides the obviously missing arm, of which Bill would have no knowledge, “Georgie” referring to the paper boat as “it” as opposed to “she” which was what Bill and Georgie had agreed to call the boat. Bill had even corrected “Georgie” in calling the boat “she”.

    • (at around 2h 5 mins) The order in which the Losers’ Club leave after the blood oath is the order in which they die or are injured in the book. Stanley leaves first, and it is he who commits suicide after learning that It has returned. After giving a hug to Richie, Eddie leaves next, and he dies in the final confrontation between It and The Losers Club. The hug between the two could symbolize Richie’s love for Eddie, as he sacrifices himself to save Richie. Mike leaves third, and in the novel he is heavily injured when he is attacked by Henry Bowers. The rest of the members survive and are relatively uninjured by the end of the book.

    • (at around 1h 55 mins) After Bill shoots “Georgie” in the forehead, he lies on the ground motionless until he starts violently convulsing and morphing into Pennywise while making screeching noises and distorted cries. The distorted cries are of Georgie’s final words and death cries being heard backwards.

    • Though he has sworn he would never write about Pennywise again, Stephen King has teased It in some of his other literary works such as “The Tommyknockers”, “The Hearts in Atlantis”, “Insomnia”, “Dreamcatcher”, and “The Dark Tower” series. This also indicates that the story of “It” takes place in a shared universe.

    • The character Patrick Hockstetter has been used in 2 Stephen King novels/movie adaptations but have no connection. The first was in “Firestarter” the second in “IT 2017”. The scenes of Patrick using a lighter and a can of aerosol to light flames in the tunnels is a nod to the character in Firestarter.

    • The second highest R Rated opening behind Deadpool (2016), and grossing higher than The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and American Sniper (2014).

    • This film is the forty-third Stephen King film adaptation.

    • The movie takes place in 1989, the same year the miniseries was filmed.

    • The Losers Club shirts pay homage to various Stephen King stories, including “The Shining”, “Carrie”, “Christine”, and “Pet Semetary”.

    • (at around 1h 15 mins) As the losers club approaches Pennywise’s front porch to fight him, the yard’s open iron front gate can be seen from the back. It holds the number “29”, which mirrored resemble the letters “e” and “s” – “es” is the German word for “it”.

    • When the Losers Club are at the 4th of July festival, a clown can be seen performing on a nearby stage. The clown’s suit resembles serial killer John Wayne Gacy’s clown suit.

    • It (alongside Randall Flagg) is regarded as the most evil and popular of Stephen King’s villains, and an immense icon in horror. In 2006, Wizard Magazine ranked It as the 15th Greatest Villain of All Time. Pennywise (It) is played by Bill Skarsgård in the 2017 movie, while Randall Flagg is played by his brother Alexander Skarsgård in the mini-series The Stand.

    • In an interview, Bill Skarsgård stated that it took 5 hours to apply the clown makeup. However, they were able to shorten it down to 2 hours once the makeup artists had done it a couple of times.

    • This film uses the word “fuck” 60 times.

    • (at around 6 mins) Pennywise’s eyes turn blue when he talks to Georgie because it is the color of his mother’s eyes.

    • The number 27 is often associated with this story. This film was released 27 years after the original 1990 television mini-series. In the book, it is mentioned that “It” returns to Derry approximately every 27 years. Jonathan Brandis, who played young Bill in the original film, died at 27 years old. This movie was released one month after Bill Skarsgård’s (Pennywise) 27th birthday. Jaeden Martell (Bill), Jeremy Ray Taylor (Ben) and Nicholas Hamilton (Henry) are all 27 years younger than the actors who portrayed the same characters in the miniseries (Jonathan Brandis (Bill), Brandon Crane (Ben), Jarred Blancard (Henry)). The official U.S. release date is 9/8/2017 and 9+8+2+0+1+7 = 27. The second film will be released on 9/6/2019, and 9+6+2+0+1+9=27.

    • Costume designer Janie Bryant had based the costume design for Pennywise’s suit on various eras throughout history that includes Medieval, Renaissance, Elizabethan, and Victorian. The costume emphasizes Pennywise’s immortality.

Quotes

Richie Tozier: I hear the list is longer than my wang.

Stanley Uris: That's not saying much.

Richie Tozier: Hey Eddie, are these your birth control pills?

Eddie Kaspbrak: Yeah, I'm saving them for your sister!

Ben Hanscom: Derry started as a beaver trapping camp.

Richie Tozier: Still is! Am I right, boys?

Richie Tozier: Doesn't smell like caca to me, senor.

Eddie Kaspbrak: They're gazebos! They're bullshit!

Richie Tozier: Go blow your dad, you mullet wearing asshole!

Ben Hanscom: I thought you said you wanted to get out of this town too.

Beverly Marsh: Because I want to run *towards* something, not away.

Richie Tozier: I'm sorry, but who invited Molly Ringwald into the group?

Pennywise: Hi Georgie!

[pause]

Pennywise: What a nice boat. Do you want it back?

Georgie: Um... Yes, please.

Pennywise: You look like a nice boy, I bet you have a lot of friends.

Georgie: Three... but my brother is my best's best.

Pennywise: Where is he?

Georgie: In bed. Sick.

Pennywise: I bet I can cheer him up! I'll give him a balloon. Do you want a balloon too, Georgie?

Georgie: I'm not supposed to take stuff from strangers.

Pennywise: Oh! Well, I'm Pennywise, the dancing clown. "Pennywise?". "Yes?", "Meet Georgie". "Georgie, meet Pennywise".

[Georgie laughs]

Pennywise: Now we aren't strangers. Are we?

Georgie: What are you doing in the sewer?

Pennywise: A storm blew me away. Blew the whole circus away.

[laughs]

Pennywise: Can you smell the circus, Georgie? There's peanuts... cotton candy... hot dogs... and...

Georgie: Popcorn?

Pennywise: POPCORN! Is that your favorite?

Georgie: Uh-huh.

Pennywise: Mine too!

[laughs]

Pennywise: Because they pop! Pop, pop! Pop, pop! Pop, pop, pop!

[both laugh]

Pennywise: [pause]

Georgie: Um... I should get going, now.

Pennywise: Oh! Without your boat? You don't wanna lose it Georgie. Bill's gonna kill you! Here. Take it.

[pause]

Pennywise: Take it, Georgie.

Stanley Uris: When you're a kid, you think that you'll always be... protected, and cared for. Then, one day, you realize that's not true. If you open your eyes, you will see what we're going through. 'Cause when you're alone as a kid, the monsters see you as weaker. You don't even know they're getting closer. Until it's too late.

Pennywise: Beep Beep Richie!

Mike Hanlon: Bill!

Beverly Marsh: Let him go!

Pennywise: NO! I'll take him! I'll take all of you! I'll feast on your flesh as I feed on your fear... Or... you'll just leave us be... I will take him. Only him, and I will have my long rest and you will all live to grow and thrive and lead *happy* lives, until old age takes you back to the weeds.

[pause]

Bill Denbrough: Leave!

Richie Tozier: Welcome to the Loser's Club, asshole!

Richie Tozier: Eddie!

[pause]

Richie Tozier: Oh, fuck! Eddie!

Pennywise: [to Bill] This isn't real enough for you, Billy? *I'm not real enough for you?*

Richie Tozier: Holy shit!

Pennywise: It was real enough for Georgie!

[laughs maniacally]

Stanley Uris: [Bill holds up a sneaker he found in the sewer] Shit... don't tell me that's...

Bill Denbrough: No... Georgie wore galoshes.

Eddie Kaspbrak: Whose sneaker is it?

Richie Tozier: It's Betty Ripsom's.

Eddie Kaspbrak: Oh shit. Oh god. Oh fuck! I don't like this.

Richie Tozier: How do you think Betty feels? Running around these tunnels with only one frickin shoe?

Richie Tozier: Look at this motherfucker! He's leaking Hamburger Helper!

Beverly Marsh: I need to show you something.

Richie Tozier: More than we saw at the quarry?

Richie Tozier: I'm glad I met you before you died.

Richie Tozier: Rock war!

Ben Hanscom: Derry is not like any town I've been in before. They did a study once and, it turns out, people die or disappear at six times the national average. And that's just grown ups. Kids are worse. Way, way worse.

Ben Hanscom: Your hair is winter fire/January embers/My heart burns there, too.

Richie Tozier: Wait, can only virgins see this stuff? Is that why I'm not seeing this shit?

Pennywise: [Last word spoken] Fear.

Pennywise: Where you going, Eds? If you lived here you'd be home by now! Come join the clown, Eds. You'll float down here. We all float down here. Yes, we do!

Pennywise: [to Eddie] Time to float.

Bill Denbrough: He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Officer Bowers: Ain't nothing like a little fear to make a paper man crumble.

Bill Denbrough: We like hanging with you.

Beverly Marsh: [smiling] Thanks.

Bill Denbrough: You shouldn't thank us too much, hanging with us makes you a loser, too.

Beverly Marsh: [Walking away from Ben] Hang tough, new kid on the block!

Ben Hanscom: [shouting after Bev] Please don't go girl! That's the name of another...

[to himself]

Ben Hanscom: New Kids On The Block song.

Stanley Uris: It's summer! We're supposed to be having fun! This isn't fun, it's scary and disgusting.

Bill Denbrough: Look, you don't have to come in with me, but what happens when another Georgie goes missing, or another Betty, or another Ed Corcoran, or... one of us? Are you just gonna pretend it isn't happening like everyone else in this town? Because I can't. I go home and all I see is that Georgie isn't there. His clothes, his toys, his stupid stuffed animals... but he isn't. So, walking into this house, for me, it's easier than walking into my own.

Beverly Marsh: I want to run towards something, not away.

[repeated line]

Eddie Kaspbrak: My mom's gonna kill me.

Pennywise: This isn't real enough for you, Billy? I'm not real enough for you? It was real enough for Georgie!

Eddie Kaspbrak: Okay, so let me get this straight. It comes out, from wherever, to eat kids for, like, a year, and then what? It just goes into hibernation?

Stanley Uris: Maybe it's like, what do you call it - cicadas. You know, the bugs that come out once every seventeen years?

Bill Denbrough: If we stick together, all of us. We'll win.

Bill Denbrough: All right. There you go - sh-she-she's all ready, captain.

Georgie Denbrough: She?

Bill Denbrough: You always call b-b-boats she.

Georgie Denbrough: She. Thanks, Billy.

Pennywise: Egg boy.

Beverly Marsh: [beating at Pennywise's hands around her beck] I'm not afraid of you!

Pennywise: You will be.

[first lines]

Georgie Denbrough: Sure I will not get into trouble, Bill?

Bill Denbrough: Don't be a wu-wu-wuss. I'd come with you if I weren't... dying.

Georgie Denbrough: You're not dying!

Bill Denbrough: You didn't see the v-v-vomit coming out of my nose this morning?

Georgie Denbrough: That's disgusting.

Bill Denbrough: Ok, go get the wax.

Georgie Denbrough: In the cellar?

Bill Denbrough: You want to fl-fl-float, dont' you?

Pennywise: [Giving Georgie back his paper boat] Here, take it.

Eddie Kaspbrak: I think it's great we're helping the new kid, but we also need to think of our own safety. I mean, he's bleeding all over and you guys know that there's an AIDS epidemic out there right now, as we speak, right? I mean, my mom's friend in New York City got it just by touching a dirty pole in the subway and enough of AIDS blood got into his system from a hangnail. A hangnail!

Pennywise: Tasty, tasty, beautiful fear.

Mrs. Starret: A boy should be spending his summer outside with friends. Don't you have any friends?

Ben Hanscom: Can I have the book now?
