It	comment	It is a 1986 horror novel by American author Stephen King. The story is about seven children being terrorized by a malevolent, primordial monster — known only as "It" — that shapeshifts to take the form of their deepest fears, but primarily appears in the guise of "Pennywise the Dancing Clown". The novel features a nonlinear narrative which alternates between two different time periods (1958 and 1985) and shifts among the different perspectives and stories of its seven protagonists. It deals with themes which would eventually become King staples: the power of memory, childhood trauma and the ugliness lurking behind a small-town façade.One of the most popular of Stephen King’s novels and widely regarded as a horror classic, It is also considered one of the darkest and most frightening, its subject matter being a child-killing supernatural monster with Adults Are Useless in effect for at least half the story — although there are some really uplifting moments, weirdly enough. Along with The Stand, it is one of the stories that cemented King's reputation as the premier modern horror writer, and like The Stand, it is one of the few examples of an epic horror novel in literature, totalling at over a thousand pages in length.In 1990, the novel was loosely adapted into a television miniseries featuring Tim Curry in the title role. In 2009, Warner Bros. (who owned Lorimar when the original TV adaption was made, but was folded into Warner Bros. TV in 1993) announced that a theatrical remake of It was being planned, with Dan Lin, Roy Lee and Doug Davison tabbed to produce. However, the project spent some time in Development Hell until Andrés Muschietti, director of Mama, was attached and production began in summer 2016, with Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise. The story was split into two chapters — the first was released in 2017 (27 years after the 1990 adaptation, funnily enough), and the second was released in 2019.Not to be confused with the 1927 silent film of the same name, which introduced the phrase "It Girl" to the world. Or 1958's It! The Terror from Beyond Space. Or the debut album by Pulp. Or the Big Bad of A Wrinkle in Time. Or the Psammead of Five Children and It. Or Cousin Itt. Or "It", the deadliest STD ever. Or the guys down in the sub-basement who (we hope) run the TV Tropes Server. Or the pronoun.

It / int_1073963d	type	Psychosexual Horror
It / int_1073963d	comment	Psychosexual Horror: Beverly Marsh's childhood trauma is the fear of puberty and her own growing sexuality. As she realizes that her own father is sexually attracted to her. After defeating IT in 1957-1958, the Losers Club was so traumatised by the experience that it gets them lost in the sewers. In order to rebuild their bond, Beverly decides to have sex with each member of the Losers Club so the spiritual connection will be rebuilt through a sexual one. This was supposed to represent how the Losers Club had grown up too fast and lost their innocence by fighting IT but the scene is understandably written out of any adaptation of the book.

IT lures his young victim Georgie closer to the dark sewers with the promise of cotton candy, balloons, carnival rides, prizes and his toy boat. Very similar to how an adult pedophile would lure a child victim to his trap with the promises of candy. With verbs like "thrusting", Pennywise begging and pleading by saying "NO" and Bill's excitement and pleasure with ripping out IT's heart, IT's demise plays out like a rape.

Dick Hallorann of The Shining fame also shows up in Will Hanlon's story of how the future cook of the Overlook hotel saved him from the Black Spot fire. The 1930s flashback includes an appearance by "Pickman, the guy who paints those funny pictures", from the H. P. Lovecraft story Pickman's Model. King injects himself into the 1905 flashback, describing a character with thick glasses and a gut named "Eddie King." (His middle name is Edwin.) Pennywise appears in other Stephen King novels featuring Derry, and is even mentioned in The Dark Tower saga. Beverly and Richie as well as several other Derry residents make an appearance in 11/22/63. Rebecca Paulson from Haven Village (see The Tommyknockers and also her own standalone short story "The Revelations of 'Becka Paulson"), makes an appearance in the climax; it's mentioned she found some of the money which was lost when the roof blew off of the Derry Farmer's Trust.

The other members of his gang are actually horrified that he would go so far. Needless to say, it's easy for It to use him as The Scapegoat for Its killing spree.

Averted in Stan's experience. When he gets married, he and his wife Patricia moved to rural Georgia and later Atlanta. Patricia is a bit worried that two Jewish Yankees may face some discrimination (both she and Stan had been victims of it in the past) but nothing like that ever happens to themnote This may be partly due to the Turtle's influence; when looking for jobs, Patricia is looking over the possibilities, and Stan nonchalantly points to one and says "That one," but can't explain why. Moving to take that one starts them on their successful life, so some of the magic probably helped guide them to a place that would welcome them.

Ben's list of movie vampires that Pennywise's Dracula looks nothing like includes Reggie Nalder. His vampire role was in 'Salem's Lot.

In the TV series he and his mother live with his aunt and cousins who bully him and say he's lucky they're willing to take him in, and It takes the form of his father and points to a mausoleum saying 'that's my home now', confirming that he's dead. Bev's dad is present in 1958, but apparently in 1985 she hasn't spoken to him in so long she's not even sure if he's still alive. She goes to visit their old apartment to see if he still lives there and finds Mrs. Kersh instead.

It / int_2fc2d6e1	comment	Shapeshifter Mode Lock: Once Pennywise assumes the shape of its victim's greatest fear, It has to follow all the "rules" of that shape, whether it wants to or not. And It cannot change form to something else once everyone who sees it has "agreed" on what it is. For example, when Pennywise confronts the kids in the house on Neibolt Street, Richie Tozier screams out that it's "THE TEENAGE WEREWOLF!", a movie-monster that he is terrified of. The other kids, who had been seeing Pennywise as various other monsters, immediately saw it as a werewolf as well. And once it was a werewolf, it became vulnerable to the silver slugs Bev was shooting with the slingshot. When she connects, It feels something It has never felt before... pain. Notably averted with Patrick Hotstetter. When IT appears, because the character has been described as a sociopath bordering on true psychopathy, his emotional responses are muddy at best. Because there's nothing that really scares this character, IT appears with a face like running wax and a rotting, burbly voice. This is somehow scarier.

Downplayed in the film as the forgetting isn't really mentioned and it's confirmed that Ben and Beverly end up together, which was only implied in the book.

It / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: IT is finally defeated and vanquished, but two of the Losers' Club members are dead and the others aren't sure if they stomped out all of the eggs IT laid. Also, most of their hometown is destroyed by a flood with IT's death and the surviving members' memories slowly fade away until they completely forget about each other, but somehow they know that they will be friends forever. King's later works state that as a city, Derry bounces back from the storm and flooding. Later books imply that IT survived, though 27 years later no sequel book occurred. This may be implied by one of the rituals the Losers emulated: The monster is only banished for a century, not killed forever.

It / int_4dbd3706	comment	Clap Your Hands If You Believe: The Losers use their childlike beliefs as weapons, so that IT can be damaged by things such as silver bullets or an aspirator. Also pretty brutally (if subtly) deconstructed: the ability of beliefs to change the real world works both ways. The kids can use belief to fight back against IT, but the things they believe about their day-to-day lives (which are not so pleasant) become more and more true as time goes on. It's most noticeable with Eddie, whose mother has convinced him he has asthma to the point where he carries a placebo inhaler. Bill's parents are deeply grieving for their murdered younger son, but the more Bill wants them to come around, the more he believes they've stopped loving him altogether, and the more distant his parents become. The returning of Ben's scar, too; it didn't come back until he remembered getting it. A lack of belief in the supernatural, however, doesn't affect It in the slightest. When It takes the form of the Creature from the Black Lagoon to kill Eddie Corcoran, Eddie is fumbling to find the zipper in the back of the thing's "costume" even as it rips the unfortunate boy's head from his shoulders.

On a whim, Bill submits one of his works — one which the teacher had flunked (had, in fact, scribbled "PULP CRAP" across the front page of) to a horror fiction magazine and gets high praise and a reasonably good cheque; he pins a copy of the acceptance letter to the cork board on the door of the instructor's office. This is the start of a nasty falling out which ends with Bill dropping out of college and going on to become a success anyway.

"Got to have more paper!"). Not long after, he notices that his dad's right arm is now three feet longer than his left, from carrying a book in his briefcase. Meanwhile, around the world, a luxury liner carrying members of the Book-of-the-Month Club lists to port, a book-delivery truck falls through a solid-iron trestle bridge, and the "Authors Ka-Ki" section of a library floor collapses into the basement and crushes a janitor.

In-universe, they are lost in the sewers, and losing the magic that helped Eddie find their way down, and the act is about bringing them closer, to fan the tiny flickering spark of magic into enough of a flame to get them out. Another level of irony also exists here, when you contrast this with another scene in the book. Bev's father is portrayed as an abusive, overprotective, borderline psychopath. When he learns that she's been playing with boys, he insists — violently — on physically checking to see if she's still a virgin. Fortunately, she escapes him. At this point, she still is, and the scene plays out like an attempted rape. The real irony of the matter is that Beverly is inspired to have sex with the boys because of what her father did. He put the idea in her head.

Of course, one of Pennywise/It's powers seems to be making the townsfolk indifferent to—perhaps even accepting of—his evils, so it might be justified. Partially justified in story for Bill Denbrough's parents, whose grief over the death of his younger brother has made them both withdraw emotionally (even by the standards of the era).

As an adult, Ben lives near Gatlin, Nebraska in the town of Hemingford Home. One of Bill's former university classmates "...has written a play in which there are nine characters.

Granted, it might have been a generic 'holiday' gift from a Christian friend, but it's really odd that Stan's wife would describe it that way, instead of saying that it was given to them around Hanukkah. His wife Patricia also tries to assure Stan that he is not a "klutz" (meaning he's not stupid instead of not clumsy) when the actual Yiddish word for a fool is "yutz" and a Jewish person is unlikely to confuse the terms. Many of Stanley's other behaviours (he admits that his family sometimes eats ham, and when he was about 12 years old he still didn't know what 'kosher' meant) seem at odds with a Jewish upbringing. His pals at the Loser's Club sometimes even forget that Stan is a Jew. When a friend suggests using a crucifix to warn off a supernatural creature Stan gets mad and says it won't work for him, but never considers that a symbol of the Jewish faith (such as a Star of David) might grant him protection. Truth in Television. There are many ethnic Jewish Americans who eat pork, who have little connection to their ancestral faith, and who don’t know the nuances of the Yiddish language.

In retaliation Butch poisons all of Will's chickens. He would have most likely gotten away with it as a jury of Derry's citizens probably wouldn't care that Butch had killed some n***'s chickens, but Butch decided to go the extra mile and paint a swastika on the chicken coop as well, and they would bring him up on charges for that little shenanigan, what with World War II being quite fresh in everyone's mind. So Butch has to pay for the value of the chickens, and he has to sell his prized Mercury automobile in order to afford it.

Even when its views are challenged after its first defeat at the hands of the Losers, It devotes the next 27 years calculating revenge to rectify it. When the Losers defeat It for the final time, It spends its last moments as a Dirty Coward desperately bargaining for its life, revealing It to be just a hollow bully who needs fear to keep itself ticking.
