Pennywise Origin Theory

I have watched the IT Chapter 2 second trailer over and over but something has been stumping me. The final scene of a half Pennywise half Bill skarsgård groaning and clutching his face before letting out a terrifying roar/scream over the title card.

And now I’ve come up with a bit of a theory for the origin of Pennywise. I know in the books and Tim Curry version Pennywise is an ancient being and what I have theorised has no connections but give it some thought.

So here it is. Pennywise is actually a creature like the Thing from John Carpenter's The Thing.

In The Thing, a group of American researchers are attacked by a creature that can assimilate and imitate other living creatures perfectly, in Antartica. The film creates a good sense of dread and distrust of the characters because not even the audience know who is a thing and who is human.

And this is where my theory comes in. Pennywise is not as power-crazy as the original Thing. In the Thing, the creature wants to be found and brought to a populated area where it can assimilate multiple people and infect the whole world. Pennywise on the other hand just wants to survive and feast when it can, not wanting to be discovered and killed. When Pennywise first comes to earth he needs to find a host to assimilate and imitate till he can find a better place to bring his victims. And so the closes person he can find is this unnamed man, who will be played by Bill Skarsgård with no makeup or anything. Just a normal human.

Pennywise will latch itself onto the unnamed man and when he is all alone is when he will start to assimilate him, taking over his body and mind. It will then start to imitate a clown due to the circus being in town and after it seeing children go up to clowns with no fear or care, easy targets to feast on. This will connect with the picture Beverly sees in the old lady house of Bill Skarsgård smiling creepily at the camera. Pennywise would sometime have to look human so no one would get suspicious. 

and the laughing/screaming of the man will be due to him losings his mind and going crazy finally being taken over by the creature who later prefers the form of Pennywise over any other.

So that’s my theory! Little far fetch but think about it.

IT: Chapter 2

As soon as I saw that scene where all of the Losers Club faded from child to adult and Stanley was not included I knew that the worst was to come.

I literally looked at my mom showing her the scene and stated that Stanly is definitely going to be dead.

I was still shocked when this clip popped up.

But this, I can only assume that this is Eddie’s death. And by the looks of things, I’m gonna have to bring some tissues. 

God, I am super scared and super excited at the same time!

Don’t know how he survived the fall down the well, but let's hope the movie explains it 

All this news about Welcome to Derry got me going back to my roots…
