He immediately goes after the Losers, first stabbing Eddie in the face at the Inn, but when Eddie manages to fight back and stab him with his own knife, Henry jumps out of the window in search of a new target.
In 2016, It turns to Bowers once again, giving him back the knife he used to kill his father and a ghoulish glamour of his old pal Patrick Hockstetter to break him out of the mental institution. Chapter Two reveals that Bowers washed out in the Barrens (surrounded by children's body parts, naturally) and when he made it back home, he was immediately arrested for the murder of his father. Bowers almost got the upper hand over Mike, but Mike managed to fight back and save his own life, throwing Bowers down the well, seemingly to his own death.Įxcept, he didn't die. Bowers and his gang of bullies spent their teen years torturing kids like the Losers, and their standoff became a bloody fight to the death after the Losers fought back with a rock war, and especially, after Pennywise further corrupted Bowers' mind, encouraging him to kill his father and stop the Losers before they could make it to his lair. Shattering through the glass, It chomps into poor Dean right in front of Bill, leaving nothing but a brutal wash of bright red blood on the walls.Īs a part of Its mind games, It recruits longtime bully Henry Bowers to torment the Losers once more in IT Chapter Two. That's when Pennywise shows up and starts bashing his head into the glass panel on Dean's other side, with Bill pleading for It to take him instead this time. While Bill tries to save Dean, the two get trapped in a hall of mirrors, separated by a pane of glass.
Instead, Dean goes to the Derry Canal Days festival, where It lures Bill into a trap of mental torture. Dean tells Bill that he hears voices from the drains in his house and once again gets totally freaked out by an adult Loser when Bill frantically screams at him to leave town. After being thoroughly creeped out by Richie's furious response, Dean later meets Bill outside his house when Bill has a showdown with Pennywise in the sewer drain where Georgie died. We first meet the young boy during the Jade of the Orient scene when he approaches Richie as a fan, but Richie mistakes him for one of Its glamours. The second ill-fated Georgie surrogate in IT Chapter Two, Dean now lives in Bill Denbrough's old house. As the film ends, the Losers receive a heartfelt letter from their friend, explaining that he knew he was too terrified to face It again and that they would never succeed if they weren't united so he took himself "off the board."
In the film, Stan tactically chooses to end his own life so that the other losers stand a chance at defeating It once and for all. However, IT Chapter Two makes a significant change to Stan's death from the novel. By the time the rest of the Losers found him, Pennywise had transformed into Stan's worst nightmare - the flute lady from the painting in his father's office - and wrapped It's teeth around Stan's head, leaving Stan sobbing about how they left him behind (how's that for a bit of foreshadowing?) You might remember from the first film that Stan was generally one of the most terrified in the bunch, and he also came the closest to becoming clown food when the Losers journeyed into the cistern and Stan got separated from the group. The Losers take their first hit before they even land back in Derry, when Stan chooses to kill himself rather than return and fight It once again. RIP Stanley Uris, aka Stanney, aka Stan the Man. In the novel, two of Adrian's attackers are sent to prison and Don leaves Derry after the trial.
By the time Don scrambles down to the water, he arrives just in time to see the killer clown feast on the love of his life. When the pair share a kiss, a group of bigots starts hurling slurs at them, following the couple out of the festival and brutally beating Adrian before throwing him off the bridge into the canal.ĭon comes running after him, but it's too late - the brutal crime against Adrian marks the return of It, fresh from 27 years of slumber, and when the young man makes his way to the shore, he finds Pennywise waiting for him. After a brief re-introduction to Derry, the Losers, and their pact, IT Chapter Two picks up in 2016 at the Derry Canals Days festival, where we meet Adrian and his partner, Don Hagarty, living it up at the carnival. Andy Muschietti brings to life one of Stephen King's most disturbing scenes with the death of Adrian Mellon, a young gay man who is victim to a horrifying hate crime.
