Patrick Hockstetter

Every 27 years, a monster awakens in the town of Derry and hunts children, while the town seems to "hide" these horrors from adults. Beneath Derry lies a network of tunnels—that's where Pennywise lives and hides. A river flows through Derry, forming a canal in the center of town—an important detail: terrifying scenes take place there in the film, and water seems to connect various terrifying events. Pennywise came from another dimension—a place called Todash. It's a lifeless, chaotic void where monstrous entities dwell. Millions of years ago, he fell to Earth and settled beneath the land where Derry later grew up. His true form is linked to the "Deadlights"—a strange light that can drive a person mad just by looking at it. Pennywise is shapeshifting, taking the form of whatever his victim fears most: monsters, the dead, familiar people, or terrifying creatures. In Derry, there's a Losers' Club, and they're the good guys. They include Richie, Beverly, Ben, Mike, Eddie, and Bill. There's also the bad Bowers gang, and their members include Henry, the gang leader, Patrick, Victor, and Belch. Patrick, on orders from Henry Bowers, is spying on the Losers' Club and eventually descends into the sewers to catch up with them and inflict another cruel prank on them. Alone in the dark, dank sewer tunnels, he is suddenly overtaken by Pennywise. The monster initially frightens Patrick by playing on his fears: a terrifying image appears before the boy—several figures resembling zombie children. And you were just heading there because you were investigating Darry.
