Its even more deep than you would think all of his books take place in that universe like the shinning if you remember in tjat book the sons has powers similar to bill in it i also find it interesting that the sons mentor at the hotel is one of the kids from the looser club.
If you want to really see the depth of the King Universe you should read the Dark Tower, his Magnum Opus. If you're reading the series for the first time read them pretty much in order except you can read The Wind through the Keyhole between books 4 and 5. They are great books definitely worth reading. Though being unfamiliar with a lot of King's works you will miss out on stuff. One publisher actually when they list his list of other works places books associated with The Dark Tower in bold.
@Long duk dong while a lot do take place in the same universe and area, multiverse might be more apt because some are more like alternate universes all connected to the dark tower at the center of his multiverse. I go with that because you have a few books with world changing events that prevent them from being in the same universe like The Stand and Cell. But the Marvel comparison is more apt with the comics and its own multiverse.
If you call a remake that completely destroys the personalities of the characters, good and bad alike, 'good.' Missed the mark with Pennywise so hard that not even him being a clown could make it funny.
IT is an Evil Entity capable of killing any lifeforms. When he first landed on Earth he already killed shitton of animals including the extinction of dinosaurs. He's a true psychopath
Meta MANIAC ok but I’m pretty sure he did not animals that much cos they where to capable of feeling fear like humans I mean he was the meteorite that killed them
It isn't a lazy eye nor does Bill Skarsgard have a lazy eye - it was a creative decision to add to the creep factor; it's like It is looking at the audience, being aware of the multiverse
@@staytuned2L337 Yeah it really adds an extra aspect of ''creepiness'' and I love it - I can do that too but I look dumb more than I look creepy AHAHAHA

5:01 "By looking into the lights, Beverly was essentially looking into another dimension, beyond the realm of human beings." So Beverly took a high dose of DMT
In the novel, It is an eternal entity that can shape shift and change forms. After arriving on Earth, It would sleep for approximately 27 to 30 years at a time, then awaken to wreak chaos and feed (primarily on children's fear). It is able to take many more forms than the film adaptations depict, including werewolves, bats, leeches, and sharks. It could embody any of a child's worst fears. It apparently originated in a void containing and surrounding the Universe-a place referred to in the novel as the "Macroverse" (a concept similar to the later established "Todash Darkness" of the Dark Tower novels). At several points in the novel, It claims its true name is "Bob Gray", and is named "It" by the group of children who later confront it. Throughout the book, It is generally referred to as male; however, late in the book, the children come to believe It may be female (due to It's manifestation as a large female spider). In addition, upon seeing its true form Audra Denbrough thinks, "Oh dear Jesus, It is female." Despite this, the true form of It is never truly known. The final physical form It takes is that of an enormous spider, but this is the closest the human mind can understand. It's actual form is not precisely what the children actually see. Instead, the natural form of It exists in an inter-dimensional realm referred to by It as the "deadlights". Bill Denbrough comes dangerously close to seeing the deadlights, but successfully defeats It before this happens. The deadlights are never seen, and their true form outside the physical realm is never revealed, only described as writhing, destroying orange lights. Coming face to face with the deadlights drives any living being instantly insane (a common Lovecraftian device). The only known people to face the deadlights and survive are Bill's wife, Audra Phillips, and Beverly Marsh, although they are rendered catatonic by the experience. It's natural enemy is the "Turtle" or "Maturin", another ancient dweller of King's "Macroverse" who, eons ago, created our universe and possibly others. The Turtle shows up again in King's series The Dark Tower. The book suggests that It, along with the Turtle, are themselves creations of a separate, omnipotent creator referred to as "the Other". The Turtle and It are eternal enemies (creation versus consumption). It may, in fact, be either a "twinner" of, or the actual one of the six greater demon elementals mentioned by Mia in The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah, as the Spider is not one of the Beam Guardians. It arrived in our world during prehistoric times in a massive, cataclysmic event similar to an asteroid impact, in the place that would, in time, become Derry, Maine. Throughout the novel It, some events are described through It's point of view, through which It describes itself as the "superior" being, with the Turtle as someone "close to his superiority" and humans as mere "toys". It explains it prefers to kill and devour children, not by nature, but rather because children's fears are easier to interpret in a physical form and thus children are easier to fill with terror. It says this is akin to "salting the meat." Both It's awakening and its return to hibernation mark the greatest instances of violence during its time awake. In one example, It caused the disappearence of over three hundred settlers from Derry Township in 1740-43. In 1957, It awoke during a great storm which flooded part of the city, whereupon It went on a feeding spree, starting by murdering Bill's brother, Georgie Denbrough. However, the children forced It to return to an early hibernation when it was heavily wounded by Bill in the first Ritual of Chüd. It is continually surprised by the children's victories over It, and near the end, It begins to question if It is not as superior as It had once thought. However, It never feels that the individual children are strong enough to defeat It, only through "the Other" working through them as a group. It is finally destroyed in the second Ritual of Chüd, and an enormous storm damages the downtown part of Derry to symbolize It's death. In the novel Dreamcatcher, when Mr. Gray tries to put a worm in Derry's water by use of the standpipe, It is no longer there due to the 1985 flood. In its place is a memorial featuring a cast-bronze of two children and a plaque underneath, dedicated to the victims of the 1985 flood and of It. The plaque has been vandalized with graffiti reading, "PENNYWISE LIVES".
Fantastic write up. Thank you. I always figured It and Mr. Gray from Dreamcatcher were either the same or deeply connected entities. But I'm not a King expert. More of a tourist that shows up on occasion.
Jo Cas I don’t remember how long he was awake, but it was stated in the novel. I do remember that he always went back into hibernation after a huge disaster in the town happened.
Absence of fear was only It's weakness in the movie. In the book (and somewhat in the mini-series), it was more that It's strength in manifesting based on it's prey's imagination and fear locked it into a form that where it took on the same weakness of that form. Example would be the werewolf, which the kids thought silver would hurt (because silver kills werewolves). Turns out it did, because as soon as It chose that form, it was bound to that form's "rules" and while the silver didn't kill It, it hurt it badly. This is also true regarding Richie's sneezing powder, which did a number on It BECAUSE Richie put his faith into it working like that. The kids' imagination and belief was actually the key to fighting It, more so than lack of fear. In the novel, as kids and adults, I don't think there is a portion where ANY of them lack fear, but they carry on THROUGH the fear and fight back regardless of that. Actually, I think there was a bit of the "imagination power/power of belief" in the movie, but they didn't go more into it. Remember when Bill grabbed Mike's empty bolt gun, but didn't know it was empty. His belief that it had a bolt in it actually lead to a hole in Pennywise's head. That's in line with what was happening in the novel.
Frank Bautista Makes me think that King places a high value on belief over “fact”, that faith in myth is more powerful than faith in the material world. Interesting stuff.
@@bomber101581 It's also a general concept that when something exists outside of time and space, its strengths and weaknesses hinge on concepts, not the physical realm. Things like IT are so far beyond mortal that it's basically only conscious validation that allows them to exist. Evil ones especially don't seem to believe in themselves, so they are easily defeated by others controlling their perception. Maturin on the other hand is probably self-aware and introspective enough that it can exist as a self-sustaining concept without the belief of others affecting it.

Wish they showed more gore, would've made it more terrifying in my opinion. Though, it's been said there would be more in Chapter 2, so I'm pretty hyped for that.

My greatest fear is an old guy with really bad health but lots and lots of money will fall head over heels for me and give me all his money when he dies due to bad health. Just Incase pennywise happens to have a TH-cam channel
it's interesting how before I read the Dark Tower series, was thinking every King story is individual. NO - every single different book is part of the same universe and many of them has a hidden links to another books or The very Dark Tower. It is just a Todash creature similar to Dandelo from the dark tower series. It feeds from FEAR, Dandelo from LAUGHTER
@@hoverauto2 It is like the DARK SOULS or BloodBorne games. You need to find the truth if you are a true (frantic) fan 😁✌🏻 In my occasion I am bit cheater and looking for additional info in places like this comment section or forums.
All of them are really interesting. The krogan with the genophage, the rachni with their long distance comunication and extraordinary ability for tech, the asari with their reproduction and biotic abilities, the quarians with genetic AIDS, the salarians with their short lifespans, the vorcha who breed through spores, the volus in their high pressure suits, the hannar with being squids who speak through color, the drell with their eternal memory, the elcor with their super high gravity world and the Protheans with their ability to mentally read objects and places. Finally the geth, especially Legion, who became an individual when its many AI programs combined. I suppose even the batarians would be interesting because of their social structure. And then the enemies, the creatures which were turned by the Reapers, like the banshees or the harvesters. There's so much material for several videos.

I thought that the adult townspeople subconsciously knew that some kids would be taken, like throughout Derry’s history, some children were sacrificed to protect the rest of the town, and that’s why the following happened: 1. people forgot about the missing kids very quickly, like, they didn’t dwell on them because they didn’t want to acknowledge the evil in the town. 2. The woman turned away from seeing Georgie lying in the road with his head in a storm drain in a downpour. 3. The hypochondriac kid’s mum said she was trying to keep him safe indoors, like she knew something bad could happen; and 4. The painting of the woman holding a baby at the mouth of the well.
Pennywise is not invulnerable, when she changes forms, she can be damaged based on what the weaknesses of the form It chooses. I.E. If they shot the werewolf with silver bullets. Pennywise would take damage and possibly die. Just like how It was hurt with "battery acid" from the inhaler.
It has more to do with the belief and will of the person opposing It and less to do with the form. The silver bullet works because seeing a werewolf, they believe that silver bullets will kill it.
@Fractalwizard 710 the clown is one of many forms, and Bill Skarsgard just plays that portrayal. Later in the book, IT is described as being female (and pregnant). Although, Its true form likely has no real gender as it's a cosmic being.
My theory about the relationship between It and Derry is that It had two bodies. It's physical form, which needed to feed like any other living thing, hence why it kills, and, being an entity born outside of our universe, It had an extradimensional form that encompassed the whole of Derry. It would explain why It's influence was so limited, because It could only control the contents of It's body, i.e. Derry and it's residents. It also explains why people tend to forget or their memories go fuzzy when they leave the town, and why the town's killings were so isolated, It's body would be considered a field of extra dimensions that the human mind cannot truly comprehend nor maintain what it sees there. Like when Scott Lang went into the Quantum Realm and didnt remember anything. (Spoiler Alert) Also, it would explain the destruction that Derry faced when It was finally killed. When the physical body was destroyed, it also killed (at least part) of It's extra-dimensional body, which was reflected by the storm. While It was mostly dead, a part of It may have survived, or It's extra-dimensional body continued to exist in a decaying state, which is why, in 11/22/63, the memorial plaque was defaced with the graffito "Pennywise lives."
5:37 on the shapeshifting part you forgot to mention about how Pennywise's shapeshifting can be used against him. As he shifts into a certain form he gains that forms weaknesses. While It can't be killed by these forms weaknesses it can be fought off if someone is in a position to exploit that forms weakness like a Vampires weakness to sunlight. On top of what you mentioned about the Serial killer Pennywise chooses the form of a monster clown because it has no Kryptonite. Also Pennywise can be locked into a certain form if enough people choose to perceive him that way and this form is further weakened if those same people choose to believe it has a certain weakness, it's why the kids in the novel and Mini series are able to take down Pennywise with an inhaler and a silver nugget shot from a slingshot. They're able to believe these things can hurt Pennywise so they do. Remember that part. "And this here is battery acid and it'll melt your face off!"
I wish 1990 Pennywise and 2017 Pennywise had a fight to the death to see who will come out on top, tbh I think 2017 Pennywise has more advantages and is better in general
IT has some kind of hold over Derry and the people that live there. Some kind of passivity that makes them ignore or tolerate the happenings there every 27 odd years.
I kinda suspect King got his inspiration for IT by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Ungoliant, who was a primordial being from the void, who took the form of a spider. Ungoliant was Shelob’s mother and a servant of Melkore, who later became Morgoth. Sorry if I misspelled the names. Edit: I also know that IT is also very Lovecraftian inspired.
I honestly loved what Bill Skarsgård did with the character. Tim Curry did okay but the 2017 version was way better. This is honestly one of my favorite horror movies. I can't wait to see Chapter 2
Might I suggest another of Kings many villain's? If so I would recommend André Linoge the main antagonist of Stephen King's Storm of the Century. Anyway great video and best of luck with the next one, also that list of your's must be quite long by now :-)
Pennywise never truly loses & later on in Stephen Kings books like Tommy knockers, watch tower series, & a few others alludes to all members in the "Losers club" all dying... ...it actually survives...
Having loved the original and having loved Stephen King my whole life, I'm finally reading the book and (per usual) the movies/miniseries cant hold a CANDLE to how deep this book can get
The original mini series is a little slow to get going but as a whole its great. The new(ish) movie is also worth a look. The book however, does a great job of detailing a metric fuck ton of information that helps understand a few different things the movies leave out. It also has a lot of useless info so be ready for that.
I love this store of Stephen King. There’s so much details he put into this story and IT. Thanks for making this video. And I got one. The Faro Plague from Horizon Zero Dawn.🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I still haven't watched either of the IT movies girlfriend is scared to death of clowns 😂 but the real thing that needs to be explained is how the hell to pronounce your name properly 🤣 is it like nee-at or your own little spin of saying no in Russian 😁
Do the thing from John Carpenters “The Thing”. Even though it would probably be difficult because nobody really knows it’s true form either. But this video gave me hope.
Mine too, and although I enjoy the films, they do no justice to the book. The book is so deep and complex and it takes you to another world, it's not just a clown killing kids. I wish Netflix made a 4 to 6 seasons series by trying to stick to the details of the book story.

@@bomber101581 It's also a general concept that when something exists outside of time and space, its strengths and weaknesses hinge on concepts, not the physical realm. Things like IT are so far beyond mortal that it's basically only conscious validation that allows them to exist. Evil ones especially don't seem to believe in themselves, so they are easily defeated by others controlling their perception. Maturin on the other hand is probably self-aware and introspective enough that it can exist as a self-sustaining concept without the belief of others affecting it.
So you can defeat IT by decking it in the schnoz with pure unadulterated hatred.

Wish they showed more gore, would've made it more terrifying in my opinion. Though, it's been said there would be more in Chapter 2, so I'm pretty hyped for that.

it's interesting how before I read the Dark Tower series, was thinking every King story is individual.
NO - every single different book is part of the same universe and many of them has a hidden links to another books or The very Dark Tower.
It is just a Todash creature similar to Dandelo from the dark tower series. It feeds from FEAR, Dandelo from LAUGHTER
Stoynov666 finally someone said it. This creature is from Todash in the novels. I’m very surprised he didn’t mention that directly.
@@hoverauto2 It is like the DARK SOULS or BloodBorne games.

Pennyswises fear has to be turtles
3:04 the earth is flat 😮
Its funny you say that, seeing as how Pennywise rival is a (Godly)Turtle.
They're using the Discworld illustration of the world. I don't think Machurin(sp?) has any real official artwork?
Just tell pennywise that you're afraid to pay bills and spend money since he uses your fears to scare you
He'll ignore you
Fun Fact: There is no spider form.
It has 6 legs
I swear I have seen 4 legged spiders before IRL
Yeah a daddy long legs can lose it’s legs and still survive and walk
IT just spider like form.
Not actually giant spider.

I've been so excited for this episode. I'd like to see more videos on the aliens from *Mass Effect*
YEAH me too man. Atleast the turians man
All of them are really interesting. The krogan with the genophage, the rachni with their long distance comunication and extraordinary ability for tech, the asari with their reproduction and biotic abilities, the quarians with genetic AIDS, the salarians with their short lifespans, the vorcha who breed through spores, the volus in their high pressure suits, the hannar with being squids who speak through color, the drell with their eternal memory, the elcor with their super high gravity world and the Protheans with their ability to mentally read objects and places. Finally the geth, especially Legion, who became an individual when its many AI programs combined. I suppose even the batarians would be interesting because of their social structure.
And then the enemies, the creatures which were turned by the Reapers, like the banshees or the harvesters. There's so much material for several videos.
@@Palmieres theres more to it with these unique species. Their back story. There ships. There tactics. And tjeir culture. Not becuase. Of their abilities, And looks. They have more lore to them then you just gave. Im sorry. But mass effect has a unique and rare thing that no other sci fi has it has aliens we care about and know. And not just there to be there. Like star wars. Where one alien is there becuas its there. No culture. No meaning but to be there. Mass effect is unique. Becuase of that. The wars that happened. The first contact that happened between the humans and the turians. And you forgot that the turians had the biggiest fleet in the known galaxy and the way arsaries lived before they meet other male aliens. Krogan for the strength. And honor they five to others if they are proven. You may know the commen things of the species in mass effect. But us freaks about mass effect know almost everything avout the lore of the mass effect
@@dson978 Of course there's much more, but I'm not going to describe it _here_ ! That was a very short list of the many aliens that have enough to them for a video each. I didn't forget the turians, they were mentioned in another comment. I could have mentioned the thorian, the thresher maws, the varren, the pijacks... come on. I _know_ there is a lot. But I'm hoping for a video to *explore* all of that.
@@Palmieres but when you commented the commen stuff in mass effct. It made it look like you knew stuff. But not really whcih annoyied me. Im sorry. I just thought you were one of those dudes on youtube who thought they knew sruff. And tried to act smart in order to make himeslf feel better
I thought that the adult townspeople subconsciously knew that some kids would be taken, like throughout Derry’s history, some children were sacrificed to protect the rest of the town, and that’s why the following happened:
1. people forgot about the missing kids very quickly, like, they didn’t dwell on them because they didn’t want to acknowledge the evil in the town.
2. The woman turned away from seeing Georgie lying in the road with his head in a storm drain in a downpour.
3. The hypochondriac kid’s mum said she was trying to keep him safe indoors, like she knew something bad could happen; and
4. The painting of the woman holding a baby at the mouth of the well.
I think it’s because it controlled the thoughts/actions of the townspeople.
@remigal899 a combination of both

Tutorial how to end pennywise
Pennywise : What are you afraid of?
Me : Im afraid when you died
Pennywise: *Dies*
The end.
Hmd Brhmsnts lol so true 😆
But it isn't you're real fear is it??
300iq
Outstanding move
*Avengers music plays*
Love your video. Nicely done and easy to understand
Kid: Hey dad. There’s a funny looking clown outside. I’m going to see what he wants.
Dad: Don’t tell your mother.
Would have cool to include his weakness: Taking damage if you really believed something would cause him harm (at least to it's illusions).
Pennywise: do you want your boat back
Georgie: nah you can have it
the end
Pennywise is not invulnerable, when she changes forms, she can be damaged based on what the weaknesses of the form It chooses. I.E. If they shot the werewolf with silver bullets. Pennywise would take damage and possibly die. Just like how It was hurt with "battery acid" from the inhaler.
@20GRIZZ20 it was shot in the head in the first movie and it did nothing.
Trevor Wiwchar that had to do more with the belief of the children, like when Stan repelled it by saying the names of the birds in his book
It has more to do with the belief and will of the person opposing It and less to do with the form. The silver bullet works because seeing a werewolf, they believe that silver bullets will kill it.
@Ain't nobody Got time for that yes, she.
@Fractalwizard 710 the clown is one of many forms, and Bill Skarsgard just plays that portrayal. Later in the book, IT is described as being female (and pregnant). Although, Its true form likely has no real gender as it's a cosmic being.
Your voice reminds me of Korg from Thor. I love it.
My theory about the relationship between It and Derry is that It had two bodies. It's physical form, which needed to feed like any other living thing, hence why it kills, and, being an entity born outside of our universe, It had an extradimensional form that encompassed the whole of Derry. It would explain why It's influence was so limited, because It could only control the contents of It's body, i.e. Derry and it's residents. It also explains why people tend to forget or their memories go fuzzy when they leave the town, and why the town's killings were so isolated, It's body would be considered a field of extra dimensions that the human mind cannot truly comprehend nor maintain what it sees there. Like when Scott Lang went into the Quantum Realm and didnt remember anything.
(Spoiler Alert)
Also, it would explain the destruction that Derry faced when It was finally killed. When the physical body was destroyed, it also killed (at least part) of It's extra-dimensional body, which was reflected by the storm. While It was mostly dead, a part of It may have survived, or It's extra-dimensional body continued to exist in a decaying state, which is why, in 11/22/63, the memorial plaque was defaced with the graffito "Pennywise lives."

They're using an image of Terry Pratchett's Discworld.
5:37 on the shapeshifting part you forgot to mention about how Pennywise's shapeshifting can be used against him. As he shifts into a certain form he gains that forms weaknesses. While It can't be killed by these forms weaknesses it can be fought off if someone is in a position to exploit that forms weakness like a Vampires weakness to sunlight. On top of what you mentioned about the Serial killer Pennywise chooses the form of a monster clown because it has no Kryptonite.
Also Pennywise can be locked into a certain form if enough people choose to perceive him that way and this form is further weakened if those same people choose to believe it has a certain weakness, it's why the kids in the novel and Mini series are able to take down Pennywise with an inhaler and a silver nugget shot from a slingshot. They're able to believe these things can hurt Pennywise so they do.
Remember that part. "And this here is battery acid and it'll melt your face off!"
Maturin looks an awful lot like the Great A'tuin to me.
The picture he used IS of the Great A'tuin.
@@genghiskhan6809 yeah. i know....
@@GameModJr hehe
You beat me to it! Was going to say that I am pretty sure that he got Maturin mixed up with his distant cousin A'tuin ^_^
RIP Terry Pratchett 🖤☠️🐢
The dynamics of "It" is unfathomable. I had no idea.
I wish 1990 Pennywise and 2017 Pennywise had a fight to the death to see who will come out on top, tbh I think 2017 Pennywise has more advantages and is better in general
Maturin is the embodiment of love and compassion while it is the embodiment of fear
Could Derry just be abandoned and no more deaths or maybe just nuke it idk
Why don’t they just nuke the well and his house 🧐
Smh nuke a universal being ain't really a good idea, Pennywise will still live.
He’s a celestial being. It’s like trying to kill a god, the only way to do so is find a weakness with the help from another equal being.
IT has some kind of hold over Derry and the people that live there. Some kind of passivity that makes them ignore or tolerate the happenings there every 27 odd years.
Found the American.
O my god this movie was insane and I have been waiting for you to an analysis of this character !
No sooner than I wake up and this shows up it's a great way to start the rest of the day
IT "Eater of worlds"
Alduin
I kinda suspect King got his inspiration for IT by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Ungoliant, who was a primordial being from the void, who took the form of a spider. Ungoliant was Shelob’s mother and a servant of Melkore, who later became Morgoth.
Sorry if I misspelled the names.
Edit: I also know that IT is also very Lovecraftian inspired.
Besides them both taking the form of a spider, there isn't many other parallels.
Very well explained, considering how much history all the books have on Pennywise and the Macroverse.
Love your videos man keep it up man
I agree 100%
I honestly loved what Bill Skarsgård did with the character. Tim Curry did okay but the 2017 version was way better. This is honestly one of my favorite horror movies. I can't wait to see Chapter 2
As much as I love King's work, does this means that he is the founder of the Flat Earther's Incorporated?
No, just that this channel used a picture from Terry Pratchett's Discworld without crediting it.
me:pshhhh i’m not scared of some clown
penny wise appears*
me:sprints
Thank you, i requested this a few days ago. Did not know it was in the works! :)
Might I suggest another of Kings many villain's? If so I would recommend André Linoge the main antagonist of Stephen King's Storm of the Century. Anyway great video and best of luck with the next one, also that list of your's must be quite long by now :-)
Destruction tonight, death tomorrow, and Armageddon by the weekend...
Yes such great one liners andrè
Oh yeah, 1st
*Edit* Great video my guy, keep up the amazing work
Thank you for including the original movie with Tim Curry as well as the remake with Skarsgård.
Wtf? I was thinking ghost or demon not some celestial from another dimension lol
i think stephen king was high..
Before he eventually got clean, King was a habitual coke user.
Duh, cuz he was
Oh yes they float Georgi they FLOAT
They all float down here and when your down here YOULL FLOAT TO I love these movies
Great video as always. Clowns scare the heck out of me
Thanks bro! and same here lol :)
Feel the same way about clowns too.
Man i never knew he was such a powerful/cool entity i never really watched it
Pennywise never truly loses & later on in Stephen Kings books like Tommy knockers, watch tower series, & a few others alludes to all members in the "Losers club" all dying...
...it actually survives...
it never died just went back to sleep again in his hidey hole pretty much like the creeper from jeepers creepers every time just goes to a sleep state
Been waiting for this one. GG
I love your channel, it clears up things in the movie as well as shows what the movie doesnt, by going into the comics or books
Thanks mate :)
the turtle in the vid is actually Great A'Tuin, though :-) ... fun vid

Your comment is dumb.
Having loved the original and having loved Stephen King my whole life, I'm finally reading the book and (per usual) the movies/miniseries cant hold a CANDLE to how deep this book can get
In the Novel Pennywise has been killing since the beginning of time
7:23 I remember watching the remake with my dad and I could help but shout they do they do all float down there!!!
Never seen IT, neither original _nor_ new one, just came for FCE and ended up staying for the kickass lore/backstory.
The original mini series is a little slow to get going but as a whole its great. The new(ish) movie is also worth a look. The book however, does a great job of detailing a metric fuck ton of information that helps understand a few different things the movies leave out. It also has a lot of useless info so be ready for that.
AN Excellent video! Well Done! Please do an explain on Donnie Darko, In the Mouth of Madness and on why the android David from Prometheus turned evil.
After Pennywise couldn’t scare children anymore he just shape shifted into the water bill
Well my biggest fear is getting money,COME PENNYWISE
I love this store of Stephen King. There’s so much details he put into this story and IT. Thanks for making this video. And I got one. The Faro Plague from Horizon Zero Dawn.🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Awesome! adding that to the list now, thanks :)
I still haven't watched either of the IT movies girlfriend is scared to death of clowns 😂 but the real thing that needs to be explained is how the hell to pronounce your name properly 🤣 is it like nee-at or your own little spin of saying no in Russian 😁

I always thought that even if you don't fear Pennywise, he can still hurt you, no matter the cause.
I don’t find clowns imposing or scary, like at all, but a shape shifting nightmare creature? Yea that’s quite terrifying
It is T1009 prototype terminator sent back in time , but it got some bugs in cpu
Im late! Still it's awesome to know the origins of the shape shifting menace known as Pennywise.
I just got an add for It chapter 2.
Do the thing from John Carpenters “The Thing”. Even though it would probably be difficult because nobody really knows it’s true form either. But this video gave me hope.
It is hands down my favorite Stephen King book it’s just so good
Mine too, and although I enjoy the films, they do no justice to the book. The book is so deep and complex and it takes you to another world, it's not just a clown killing kids. I wish Netflix made a 4 to 6 seasons series by trying to stick to the details of the book story.
panostsak Yeah but if the did that the series would have a hard TV-MA rating beacuse of all the gore in the book
