Tim Curry is actually terrified of clowns and when playing Pennywise in IT insisted on no mirrors while on set he didn't want to see himself in the makeup
Holy shit. The 1990s IT mini series isn't scary, it's more funny. I mean a clown with the had of a dog and did u notice that other people who have responded to u have pennywise as their profile pic
“No kid would be drawn to someone that scary looking.” Jokes on him. The kid who played Georgie was actually upset when he came on set and Pennywise wasn’t there.
Food for thought; the costume designers were actually concidering to go with scarier Pennywise faces but decided it was best to go with a design most people associate with at the circus and party events in the t.v. mini series.
Actually, if you did more digging you would learn it's because none of the actors actually new what his new design looked like. So their reactions would be a bit more genuine
Director Andy Muschietti kept Bill Skarsgård separate from the child actors up until they had to shoot scenes together. On the day of their first scenes together, the production staff warned the kids about how scary Skarsgård could be while in character. The kids brushed this off, claiming that they knew he was just an actor in a costume and that they were professionals and would be fine. However, when the time came for Skarsgård to be Pennywise for the scene, the kids were genuinely terrified.
Initially (in both the book and the movie) Georgie was wary of Pennywise as he should have been. Then... Pennywise changes his eyes to look like Georgie's mother's to make him feel more comfortable on a subconscious level.
@@Son_Joe_Productions months late, but Steven king was high on drugs when he wrote IT. So to answer your question, Steven king wasn't really thinking at all, he was letting the devil's lettuce do the writing for him. Several of the books or movies he created in this time period were so weird because Stephen king was in a weird mindset due to the drugs messing with his head.
This whole thing is a reference to a Batman animated series episode called I think "almost got em" Both open with a poker/card playing game Both involve villans arguing about one topic Both have a plot twist at the end. Nostalgia critic being the joker and in the show Batman being killer croc That episode just so happens to be nostalgia critic's favorite in the whole series And animated joker made a cameo I imagine that 90% of you already know this so thanks for reading Oh I almost forgot when they say "I almost got it" it's a reference to the line in the episode where the villan s say "I almost got him" aka Batman Also it is hinted that nostalgia critic is the joker during the part where nostalgia critic walks in because it's similar to how the joker makes his entrance in the episode. Sorry for the wall of text
Doug does raise some fair points. I’ve worked at a horror attraction as a clown for many years. Often times I start with the scary and if they aren’t biting I transition into funny. Clowns aren’t strictly scary, and the Pennywise persona is as much about being scary as it is about being funny and inviting. Usually if someone doesn’t find me scary I lull them into a false sense of security so a Co-Worker can scare them. Good horror works well when people either aren’t expecting it or are lulled into the security before the scare happens.
there was a handed corn maze that I went to a few years back and the clown figured out that I am bad about clowns, and proceeded to offer me a balloon while covered in blood and grinning his ass off. way worse then when he was running and yelling.
@Phillip Cozzi yes, definitely. This is my first year working as a clown (we just finished up the season) and I figured out about half way through the season that it's good to be scary and funny, depending on the situation. It's good to lure them into a sense of security before scaring them with something more frightening.
Hey Jax I agree, this is still one of his best. But I just took the fireman test, I was wondering what can you recommend for workouts to do the physical?
Agreed. Often when he doesn't seem to like a movie as much as I did, I don't actually disagree with his criticism. Those aspects just didn't impact my viewing as much, and the good aspects left a stronger impression.
As a person who lives in Maine I can guarantee you that why they didn’t go to a hospital is because if you’re in a small town the nearest hospital is about 40 minutes away in all directions
Can we just appreciate the fact that a good portion of this review is Doug having a three-way conversation with himself, because that is just great! Also totally didn't recognize Heather at first, great job on the costume and make up!
This really shows how good an actor Doug is. He has to play his usual persona and two different versions of the same character, all interacting off of each other, and it’s seamless.
Matt Scott no they’ve actually been doing this with their reviews for a while, it really is because of copyright. the companies have tried to claim that stuff for a while.
That's part of the reason they do it for brand new movies, but they've also done it for films like Hocus Pocus (which is 20 years old) becaue yeah... they're worried about copyright strikes. Otherwise they'd just wait the three or four months for the dvd before doing the review.
You know, having re-watched this review multiple times I have an idea as to how they could've possibly made the leper scene a bit more scary. When the blurred focus becomes the reveal of the leper it shows him in a much more severe stage of the disease and even progressively has pieces of him falling off, then his flesh melts off as he chases after Eddie. Once Eddie thinks he can stop to rest and thinks he has gotten away, he sees a broken off hand latched to his shoulder and progressively gripping onto him as he tries to pull it off. The hand tries to grab Eddie by the throat and he fights to keep it off of him, having it eventually fall as though dead. I feel like that would be at least somewhat more likely to get some scares.
@@Backinblackbunny009 I don't know if he was still working in the 80's or not, but I've heard the name Lucio Fulci and how he often includes damage to the eyes as part of his scares in his movies. I like to call it Ocular Horror. There's probably already a much better official name for it, but I still like how it sounds lol
In the book, the Leper actually tries to rape Eddie. When the Leper sees Eddie he says "I'll suck your dick for a dime." And when Eddie refuses he says "I'll do it for free." and tries to grab him. The movie cut out a lot of sexual assault and violence that was in the book. I don't blame the film makers though, an accurate movie version of the book would be NC-17 if they were lucky and likely would be banned in half of the world. King really likes his horrifically detailed depictions of violence against women and children. They make the book so hard to read but really do create the tone that makes his books stand out.
Personally, I’d take the opposite approach. Have it build up towards a scare but then reveal a harmless if not disheveled homeless person. Eddie declines out of Germophobia and the homeless person begins to heckle Eddie, seemingly offended. As Eddie tries to walk away faster and faster, THAT’S when the homeless person begins slowly deteriorating while still berating Eddie before grabbing his shoulder to reveal the face from the finished film. Eddie screams and runs while the homeless man stands still and laughs before the Pennywise reveal. You ramp up the tension, reinforce themes of stranger danger and make the audience question whether or not this threat is from Pennywise or Derry.
27:27-27:36 Do you know how many incarnations of the Joker there’s been? Tons! And do you know what the best ones have in common? They’re not Jared Leto? Yes.
@Scott Velez He’s also the frontman of the band Thirty Seconds To Mars, but they really went to shit after their first one or two albums. Right now it’s basically the “alt” (if you can even call them that anymore) version of maroon 5, in that it’s basically turned into The Jared Leto Experience.
Darkness Prevails I keep running into your comments.

I thought the jump scares in IT worked perfectly because Pennywise, the character, is all about using cheesy amusement park scares to freak kids out. There was even a point in the book where it stated that Pennywise goes mostly after little children because they're so easy to scare. Scaring teens and adults requires psychological horror, which IT isn't nearly as good at, though he is learning from the town of Derry and its inhabitants. Pennywise uses over-the-top, cheesy scares in order to make the children think they must be dreaming and let down their defenses. Several child victims in the book don't even attempt to escape, and actually walk TOWARDS the danger, because they don't think it's real.
Agreed. I would also point out for that the miniseries had its fair share of jumpscares. In IT 2017 the things jumping out at the kids were things they were scared of so it worked on a psychological level. If someone is scared of spiders then seeing one is going to unsettle them but if a spider suddenly darts towards then that is going to f them right up.
Funny thing about that is i found out recently that they did an extra deleted scene where exactly this happens and pennywise simply goes 'shit' because bill skarsgard felt horrible scaring children on set
What they meant to say was "YOU'RE NOT TIM CURRY!! And no matter how much acting you do you're always gonna be inferior to Tim Curry" Critic is not as subtle with his obsession with Tim Curry as he thinks
The film projector scene was genuinely the only moment in the movie that consistently freaks me out no matter how many times I watch it. I know it's coming and it somehow still gets to me
Like me and the dogs crashing through the window in the original Resident Evil. I know they're there but the sudden sound of glass breaking gets me to jump every time
That's the big problem with this review though, you can't see any clips of it, so we're just going off what NC is saying and presenting. I can't disagree, but that's because i can't see the actual clip. I also haven't seen the movie, so it's even more confusing to me lol
@@markborishnikoff5485 Most of the clips in this seemed spot on (except the "NOPE" part) but the leper scene was not at all like the original. Here's the original: th-cam.com/video/F70alMBV8LY/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, I mean, a germophobic would be scared shitless by a guy like that, a normal person would, at least, feel disgusted and run like hell from him. I would be scared, at least.
for a bit, I thought that he actually got Mark Hamill. It wouldn't be the first time he got the original voice actor to re-enact their role from a show
Pennywise: *turns into monster* Loser's Club: *not afraid* Pennywise: *turns into zombie* Loser's Club: *not afraid* Pennywise: *turns into Tommy Wiseau* ohh hai kidds hahahhahahahha Loser's Club *BEATS HIM UP*
Owen Zen it's because there are lots of kids watching TH-cam, and most kids only like brainless, unfunny ADHD acting and uninspirational TH-camrs. Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Kwebbelkop and Scepticeyejoe are great example of this: 1 They all act like ADHD kids 2 They mostly scream a lot instead of normal speaking 3 There sense of humor is for the age of 6 till 14 years old. 4 these 3 ingredients make you popular on TH-cam cause the kids are ruling YOuTube...
+SmokeSum NL I can understand your hatred in millenials watching other channels. It's inevitable that children of our modern generation will end up wasting their attention spans to mediocre content, but you gotta understand, they're children. Most of the movies that NC reviews isn't fit for children to begin with, especially with his cussing and adulterated humor. But nonetheless, his editing, writing, and acting is overall great, and his intentions are always positive, and yours should be too. :)
Hyperfangirl: Hello! Usually when someone walks in front of a red curtain it's to tell your about to see something scary. Me: Is that why the Lorax starts in front of red curtains?
Seriously. It will always be "too soon." Wasn't there 2 or 3 last year alone? That year my college was taking precautions because the city over had a mass shooting.. It's all so unfortunate, really.
One thing I think we can all agree on is At least they didn't do THAT scene from the book. And I'm sure anyone who has read it will know what scene I'm talking about
I noticed that in the scene where the Token Club is beating up Pennywise/Doug, Walter's "Bill" wig keeps moving around and he eventually throws the wig at Pennywise. That's hilarious!
the reason why bill sees bev walk in slow mo after seeing her in the drug store is because he sees her in a new light he sees her not a random girl in town but a kind enough soul to help them so he sees her in slow mo after
@@Tyler171819 you don't want to know.. But basically they think they have to do an orgy with her to get out of the sewer but after it happens they remember the way out.
That's what I said the first time I saw Heath Ledger's Joker and said I found him joyless. My teacher said he wasn't supposed to be funny and I'm just like...but he's a clown...
After watching this a couple of times... okay, seriously, what HAPPENED in the book???? AFTER READING WHAT HAPPENED.... Seriously, Stephen King, WHAT WERE YOU ON?????
I have actually scared people in my local haunted house doing the silly Pennywise angry face dance. I'm not sure why it worked, but it was fun doing it. That is until I pulled a muscle.
Fun fact: Pennywise, the Dancing Clown, doesn't dance A SINGLE TIME in the 1990 movie! Tim Curry is so freaking cool and funny, I wish they would have made him show some dance steps.
I did find the fact that Pennywise made Beverly float fascinating.I always figured it was just a twisted way of saying he'll kill you,leaving you to float dead in the sewers of Derry.
Thejetlatios Gaming, sarcasm and boxer dogs 😳😳😳 for real?? That is real? I am not sure whether that is Internett Snark or real. I mean Stephen King is liable to make that a thing, so I don't feel ashamed for asking. I mean... aren't they like... 10? Surely... surely not..? 🤢🤢
Knallbart The kids really do have an orgy. It is the girl's idea. They do it in the sewers after they defeat pennywise. It is meant to connect them together even through adulthood.
My favorite scene was at 6:00 NC: "No kid would be drawn to someone that scary looking." 2017: "Yeah, but they were drawn to him, and he's not even scary." 1990: "Exactly, you dumbass."
ShadowDude6488 because it’s so true. Timmy Curry’s “It” doesn’t look very scary unless he’s absolutely trying to be, but Bill Skarsgard’s “It” is always creepy looking even if he’s trying not to be!
True, but he seems far more inhuman than Tim Curry did, allowing for the effect of drawing in people with the desire to stare at him and figure out what he is, whereas Tim Curry was clearly just an ordinary looking clown hanging around in a sewer. Think about. If you saw the Tim version in a sewer you would probably think "fucking weirdo, how did he even get down there, so weird, I'm leaving" but with the new one his strange appearance and unearthly voice grabs your attention and makes you want to stop and talk to him, try to figure out if he is really just a crazy guy in the sewers or if he's actually something else.
Interesting idea. Georgie is clearly nervous when he first appears but is completey transfixed. You can see how cautious he is talking to him. Sure he looks eerie but he has a pleasnt enough voice and Georgie is six after all
Twisted Razor oh im genuinly sorry i read my comment over and relized that it sounded like a brag im not good at wording my comments i just really ment i perfered reading the actual book i will delet the comment due to my stupidity
Deity Saturn Oh boy, you don't even know the half of it. Don't go into the Pennywise tag on Tumblr, you WILL want to tear your eyes out afterwards. So many clussies.
rotombomb64 OHH GOD My EYES the things i have seen this is worse than that time i watched monkey rapes frog i will never get those images out of my head
"When someone sees a red balloon, they're going to think of IT" the other night, there were red balloons all over my dorm hall and I almost shit a brick.
LGRXHL My favorite bit was when they asked him to present his question in the form of a chart, but when he did they couldn't understand him because of "his accent" XD
You're right.No kid would be drawn to something that scary but the problem is that the paper boat is down in the sewer and Georgie thinks Bill will be angry with him if he lost it.Thats why Georgie stayed and talked to Pennywise

I had always thought the _"they float"_ meant, dead bodies floating in water, not like, floating around in the middle of the air.
i envisioned it as their spirits floating in a place inside 'It' or some kind of alternate dimension.

Do you know how many incarnations of the Joker there’s been? Tons! And do you know what the best ones have in common?
They’re not Jared Leto?
Yes.
Who the fuck even is jared letto
@@scottvelez3154 The actor who played the Joker in the 2016 Suicide Squad movie (Probably the worst adaptation of the joker in history)
@@topcoppelion6626 oh yeah I saw it like 3 years ago it was goofy. Jared Leto seems like he came from acting in Sci-Fy channel shark movies.
@Scott Velez He’s also the frontman of the band Thirty Seconds To Mars, but they really went to shit after their first one or two albums. Right now it’s basically the “alt” (if you can even call them that anymore) version of maroon 5, in that it’s basically turned into The Jared Leto Experience.
@@scottvelez3154 the fact you didn’t remember him is a proof that he’s really bad.

Darkness Prevails I love your videos
SAME
Darkness Prevails, dude, I find you commenting in the most unexpected places
It weirds me out just a little bit xD
Dude, never expected to see you here.
Darkness Prevails I keep running into your comments.
I thought the jump scares in IT worked perfectly because Pennywise, the character, is all about using cheesy amusement park scares to freak kids out. There was even a point in the book where it stated that Pennywise goes mostly after little children because they're so easy to scare. Scaring teens and adults requires psychological horror, which IT isn't nearly as good at, though he is learning from the town of Derry and its inhabitants.
Pennywise uses over-the-top, cheesy scares in order to make the children think they must be dreaming and let down their defenses. Several child victims in the book don't even attempt to escape, and actually walk TOWARDS the danger, because they don't think it's real.
Agreed. I would also point out for that the miniseries had its fair share of jumpscares. In IT 2017 the things jumping out at the kids were things they were scared of so it worked on a psychological level. If someone is scared of spiders then seeing one is going to unsettle them but if a spider suddenly darts towards then that is going to f them right up.
Who went towards IT? Eddie Cochran tried to run away and tripped, Patrick got surprised by leeches in the fridge, I don't remember anything like that.
Earthangelo the book dumbass, he was talking about the book.
Earthangelo Georgie, for one. In the book and miniseries he didn’t even question what a clown was doing in the sewers.

Anyone else rewatching this before he tackles Chapter 2?
I've watched this review a "million" times and it is still hilarious how Critic plays both "IT" characters!
@@chinapat6708 He play both Pennywise?
@@johnathanholmes1297 yeah, if u notice neither Pennywise or the Critic are ever in the same shot. Critic is a friggin genius for that!
@@chinapat6708 I thought one of them was played by his brother. Got to look at the Making of It.
Hey, it's funny u mentioned that, because I'm watching the making of It just to make sure. My bad if I'm wrong!
"Hiya Georgie!"
"NOPE!"
I was dying laughing.
Funny thing about that is i found out recently that they did an extra deleted scene where exactly this happens and pennywise simply goes 'shit' because bill skarsgard felt horrible scaring children on set
Lol
“You wanna tell him or should I?”
“I think we should both tell him”
“Tell me what”
“YOU’RE A CLOWN”
"And no matter what you do you're always gonna be a little silly"
What they meant to say was "YOU'RE NOT TIM CURRY!! And no matter how much acting you do you're always gonna be inferior to Tim Curry"
Critic is not as subtle with his obsession with Tim Curry as he thinks
That's what he said! Omg you're just as funny as him we love you
@@oscarramirez2697 maybe to critic
Why does this comment have so many likes? It's literally just a line from the video you're literally watching, right now
I really thought for a moment there when Critic pulled his face off that Stephen King was going to make a cameo.
Lady Marmalade same
Lady Marmalade me too
Yeah, but the joker bit ties back into the fact that the review is paying homage to a certain episode of BTAS format. I just got that
What a twist!!
Yup
The film projector scene was genuinely the only moment in the movie that consistently freaks me out no matter how many times I watch it. I know it's coming and it somehow still gets to me
Like me and the dogs crashing through the window in the original Resident Evil. I know they're there but the sudden sound of glass breaking gets me to jump every time
I never would've thought someone could combine Simpsons type credits with a Batman the Animated Series episode and It. I'm deeply impressed.
Gena G deeply is a good adverb for this 😂
Pennywise is nothing to Richie. Besides, he's dealt with much stranger things

You mean a giant alien spider taking shape of a clown.
the giant spider isn't really its true form either though.
Okay, that leper was NOT just a really sick looking guy, that dude looked like death. He was legitimately scary.
Hear hear.... the NC is too picky
That's the big problem with this review though, you can't see any clips of it, so we're just going off what NC is saying and presenting. I can't disagree, but that's because i can't see the actual clip. I also haven't seen the movie, so it's even more confusing to me lol
@@markborishnikoff5485 Most of the clips in this seemed spot on (except the "NOPE" part) but the leper scene was not at all like the original. Here's the original: th-cam.com/video/F70alMBV8LY/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, I mean, a germophobic would be scared shitless by a guy like that, a normal person would, at least, feel disgusted and run like hell from him. I would be scared, at least.

You know what that was actually a pretty damn good Mark Hamill Joker impression
I know right
Love it❤️
The Dragon Legault Now it was on Epic Rap Battles of History.
for a bit, I thought that he actually got Mark Hamill. It wouldn't be the first time he got the original voice actor to re-enact their role from a show
I still think Bill Skarsgard could pull off a Joker performance
@@MaraFey345 It was good but no, you could clearly tell it wasn't really Mark Hamil

This channel needs a billion subscribers so underrated and the effort they put in compared to other TH-camrs is incredible
Owen Zen it's because there are lots of kids watching TH-cam, and most kids only like brainless, unfunny ADHD acting and uninspirational TH-camrs.
Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Kwebbelkop and Scepticeyejoe are great example of this:
1 They all act like ADHD kids
2 They mostly scream a lot instead of normal speaking
3 There sense of humor is for the age of 6 till 14 years old.
4 these 3 ingredients make you popular on TH-cam cause the kids are ruling YOuTube...
Owen Zen true they put a crap tone of work and there really funny
This is TH-cam! There's no such thing as a billion subscribers! A million subscribers on the other hand...
I'm trying to figure out how the Nostalgia Critic is underrated. In its own way on youtube Doug and Company are a force of nature.
+SmokeSum NL I can understand your hatred in millenials watching other channels. It's inevitable that children of our modern generation will end up wasting their attention spans to mediocre content, but you gotta understand, they're children. Most of the movies that NC reviews isn't fit for children to begin with, especially with his cussing and adulterated humor. But nonetheless, his editing, writing, and acting is overall great, and his intentions are always positive, and yours should be too. :)
No wonder why the Illumination Lorax opened with red curtains
It would be funny if your fear was being alone so when Pennywise scared you, he would just leave you alone.
Hoky fuck
I don't get it
@@JohanElric. You would be scared of being alone
So pennywise would never go to you. So you'd be alone
@@shiy6055 fucking genius
What if I'm terribly afraid of having to kill killer clowns?
Fun fact: Wyatt Oleff, the actor who plays Stanley in the movie, also played young Peter Quill in "Guardians of the Galaxy".
Hyperfangirl: Hello! Usually when someone walks in front of a red curtain it's to tell your about to see something scary.

It's all so unfortunate, really.
ya joking about mass shootings is so cool and edgy
^ which has nothing to do with IT Crowd.
The banter between the clowns is honestly so clever and I love it!!
The banter is the reason why this is my favorite episode of Nostalgia Critic

One thing I think we can all agree on is
At least they didn't do THAT scene from the book. And I'm sure anyone who has read it will know what scene I'm talking about
Are you referring to the gang bang scene?
On yeah . But that was the only scary thing from the book.
@bruce wayne *Even within the context of the writers idea the scene made no sense. So yeah fuck that... albeit not literally.*
Disagree. They should have done that scene.

I noticed that in the scene where the Token Club is beating up Pennywise/Doug, Walter's "Bill" wig keeps moving around and he eventually throws the wig at Pennywise. That's hilarious!
the reason why bill sees bev walk in slow mo after seeing her in the drug store is because he sees her in a new light he sees her not a random girl in town but a kind enough soul to help them so he sees her in slow mo after

I have actually scared people in my local haunted house doing the silly Pennywise angry face dance. I'm not sure why it worked, but it was fun doing it. That is until I pulled a muscle.
I hope it was worth IT.
Heheh.
Fun fact: Pennywise, the Dancing Clown, doesn't dance A SINGLE TIME in the 1990 movie!
Tim Curry is so freaking cool and funny, I wish they would have made him show some dance steps.
I did find the fact that Pennywise made Beverly float fascinating.I always figured it was just a twisted way of saying he'll kill you,leaving you to float dead in the sewers of Derry.
"We're not supposed to be funny."
*WE'RE FREAKIN' CLOWNS*
"Let's see what the book says!"
Ryan Wesley NOOOOOO!
Ryan Wesley what did the book say? I’m actually concerned.
Thejetlatios Gaming, sarcasm and boxer dogs 😳😳😳 for real?? That is real? I am not sure whether that is Internett Snark or real. I mean Stephen King is liable to make that a thing, so I don't feel ashamed for asking. I mean... aren't they like... 10? Surely... surely not..? 🤢🤢
Knallbart
The kids really do have an orgy. It is the girl's idea. They do it in the sewers after they defeat pennywise. It is meant to connect them together even through adulthood.
Haley F uh... ew? 😳😳😳 well that is ridiculously creepy. 😳 thank you for explaining for us who haven’t read the book 😊 ....so creepy 😖
How different would Batman the animated series would've been if Tim Curry played the Joker?

Giovanni Orellana Hell
+Giovanni Orellana Every time he laughed, he would go, "WA HA, WA HA, WA HA!"
22:47 Well he is Pennywise the *dancing* clown
My favorite scene was at 6:00
NC: "No kid would be drawn to someone that scary looking."
2017: "Yeah, but they were drawn to him, and he's not even scary."
1990: "Exactly, you dumbass."
ShadowDude6488 because it’s so true. Timmy Curry’s “It” doesn’t look very scary unless he’s absolutely trying to be, but Bill Skarsgard’s “It” is always creepy looking even if he’s trying not to be!
True, but he seems far more inhuman than Tim Curry did, allowing for the effect of drawing in people with the desire to stare at him and figure out what he is, whereas Tim Curry was clearly just an ordinary looking clown hanging around in a sewer. Think about. If you saw the Tim version in a sewer you would probably think "fucking weirdo, how did he even get down there, so weird, I'm leaving" but with the new one his strange appearance and unearthly voice grabs your attention and makes you want to stop and talk to him, try to figure out if he is really just a crazy guy in the sewers or if he's actually something else.
Chexpet The problem with that is, you are rationalizing the situation like an adult, no kid would stop to think that.
Interesting idea. Georgie is clearly nervous when he first appears but is completey transfixed. You can see how cautious he is talking to him. Sure he looks eerie but he has a pleasnt enough voice and Georgie is six after all
No?
Doug your pennywise impression isn’t that bad. It’s actually pretty good!
Yeah I've noticed hes pretty good with impressions!
For anyone who doesn’t understand the part at 25:18 they basically all have a gangbang with beverly

I believe they're suppose to be studio executives
They work for every studio there is.
You're right.No kid would be drawn to something that scary but the problem is that the paper boat is down in the sewer and Georgie thinks Bill will be angry with him if he lost it.Thats why Georgie stayed and talked to Pennywise
"I'm scarier."
"But I'm funnier."
"Were not suppose to be funny."
"Were Freaking Clowns!"
"This is going worse than my American Pilot..."
