Latest revision as of 20:52, 23 October 2021

It (also commonly known as Pennywise) is an ancient alien/eldritch monster and the titular main antagonist of Stephen King's best selling and award winning 1986 novel, the 1990 miniseries of the same name, and the film series of the same name. It appears in SMG4 series as a form of Gooigi.

History

In the novel, miniseries, and movie, It arrived on Earth in a massive cataclysmic event similar to an asteroid impact, landing in a location in North America that would eventually become Derry, Maine. Once people settled over this location, It adopted its usual pattern of a 27-30 year hibernation, waking to kill and eat. Each awakening and return to hibernation is sometimes marked by a violent and tragic act, such as a mass murder, suicide or weather event. In the period between, a series of child murders occurring in Derry are never taken too seriously or solved. It is outwardly explained that a series of murders, no matter how gruesome, don't get reported if they happen in the small town. However, the real reason is that the influence of It prevents anyone from investigating too deeply.

Pennywise also made an appearance in the 2021 Warner Animation Group movie, Space Jam: A New Legacy as part of the crowd.

  • 1904: It awakes when a lumberjack named Claude Heroux murders a dozen men in a bar with just one axe. Heroux was promptly pursued by a mob of townsfolk and hanged. In 1985, when Mike asks a witness, if he saw anyone he didn't know that night or seemed out of place.  He remembered seeing "a comical sort of fella".

The 2017 film places those events in 1989.[note 2] This adaptation also introduces new events that cannot be placed canonically:
