Everyone who died in Chapters 1 and 2

As one can imagine, the two movies based on Stephen King’s it Are full of blood and death, and there are a lot of characters that die in it. Although it is a decidedly morbid thought, death is the one thing that truly unites all people. Everyone dies eventually, but if one is lucky, that day comes at their old age and with their loved ones by their side. In the world of Stephen King, death often comes at the hands of a vampire, a demon, or a shape-shifting monster that takes the form of a clown named Pennywise.

Of all the fictional locales featured in King’s novels and short stories, Derry, Maine, is near the top of the list of places no one should ever want to visit. Anyone who crosses its borders is a potential pennywise victim. While the clown usually targets kids, he doesn’t always, as seen with Adrian Mellon. The malevolent influence of Deri is also strong enough to sometimes destroy or end lives simply by proxy.

It: Chapter 1

Georgie Denborough (Jackson Robert Scott)

Georgie Denborough, the little brother of Losers Club leader Bill Denborough, is easy going its most famous murder in both the novel and its adaptations. Georgie is such an innocent little boy, and He does not deserve the horrible fate of tearing off and eating his arm – The Last Thankful Offscreen – by Derry’s resident monster.

In the movie, Georgie wants his big brother Bill to come out and play with him in the rain. He made a small paper boat and wanted to see her floating on the street in the standing water. However, Bill wants to go out to play with his brother, so he sends Georgie alone, where he finds Pennywise waiting for him. Seeing Pennywise’s giant teeth come to kill the young boy was enough to really set the movie off in a disturbing direction, and it showed that no one is safe.

Georgie’s death was a signature scene for both Tim Carrey in the 1990 miniseries and Bill Skarsgård in the movies, allowing these versatile actors to put their names on Pennywise. Georgie’s death was almost the same in every version of the story, including King’s novel, the 1990 miniseries, and the first it Movie. It also remains the most disturbing.

Betty Ripsom (Katie Lunman)

While Betty Ripsom’s death at the hands is not seen on screen, it is clear that she died, with the losers first finding her shoe in the sewer and Pennywise using her form to terrorize them later. from the eyes, It rips poor Betty in half before eating herWhich is really something Pennywise would do. Thankfully, her death is effectively avenged when the Losers’ Club finally kills it for good, but if King’s other books are any indication, it’s not as dead as they hoped.

Oddly, Lunman actually appears as a different background character in It chapter twoWhich some fans noticed and were puzzled by. She is a character used mostly to show the rash of missing children in Derry, and she was never used as a character when she was alive, in the books or the movies. However, her father hears her voice in the kitchen drains.

Patrick Hockstetter (Owen Teague)

While Georgie Denborough and Betty Ripsom were innocent IT victims, Patrick Hockstetter was the opposite. He was a sadistic pyromaniac eager to kill the losers alongside the equally psychopathic Henry Bowers. When Patrick is eaten by IT after the creature appears as a group of rotting zombies in the canal, It is just one source of evil that is snuffed out by an even bigger evil.

Patrick is actually much worse in King’s book. When he was only five, Patrick murdered his baby brother Avery and was generally more dangerous than Henry himself. His story in the book is that he feels he is the only real person and everything around him is “fake,” which makes hurting others mean nothing to him. Unfortunately, he is mostly wasted in the movies, he gets killed before actually doing much damage.

In the book, he died while cleaning out a refrigerator he kept dead animals in (after Henry threatened to tell people about the stash), and Pennywise jumped out of the fridge and killed Patrick. In the mini-series, his death is not shown.

Oscar “Butch” Bowers (Stuart Hughes)

There is certainly no excuse for the heinous acts committed by merciless bully Henry Bowers it And It chapter two – and like Patrick, he’s much worse in the book – but after meeting his father, Oscar “Butch” Bowers, one can’t help but understand his psychology just a little more. Butch is a physically and emotionally abusive father and also a cop, meaning Henry never really knows when he might be lurking around Derry, ready to witness anything Henry does.

It is argued that he did not deserve to be stabbed through the throat by his son at the urging of Pennywise, but at the same time, no one watching would ever be inclined to feel sorry for a man that despised. In the book, he is also quite a violent racist, a trait Henry shares. Butch never appeared in the mini-series. Butch’s death in the book and the movie are played the same way, with Henry murders his violent father with a knife while he sleeps.

Reginald “Belch” Huggins (Jake Sim)

When your name is Reginald and you own a bully and not the one you are angry with, it makes perfect sense that Mr. Huggins decided to go by the “Belch” nickname. Belch, while certainly guilty of his own actions, generally follows Henry’s lead. He may not get much to do in 2017 it movie and actually gets killed off in a deleted scene.

In the normal cut, he just disappears from the movie, but in the deleted scene, He is shown to have been killed by Henry around the time he killed his father under IT’s influence. Considering that Belch never appeared in any movies, it seems clear that his death at Henry’s hands was intended to be canon. In the book, Pennywise takes the form of Frankenstein’s monster when he tries to protect Henry, but the monster peels off the left side of his face down to the skull, leaving him dead.

Victor “Vic” Criss (Logan Thompson)

Victor “Vick” Criss, the other main member of Henry Bowers’ gang of bullies, also doesn’t get much to do in it 2017, and finally die in the same way as Belch. The same deleted scene described above also sees Henry, with the knife gifted to him by IT, slaughter Victor in a rather gory fashion. It is a little baffling that the short scene was cut, outside just want to cut the length of the film a small amount.

Henry killing his abusive father is one thing, though Killing his friends is a different story and really sells just how it’s influence has corrupted him. This scene makes Henry seem much more dangerous overall and should have been retained in the final cut. However, in the book, Vic dies differently. Henry doesn’t kill his friend in the book, but he does lead Vic to his death in the sewers. It is there that Pennywise shows up as Frankenstein’s monster and decapitates the teen.

It: Chapter 2

Adrian Mellon (Xavier Dolan)

While the 1990s it mini-series didn’t touch it, It chapter two decided to adapt one of the most harrowing sequences in the book, including the homophobic hate crime perpetrated against Adrian Mellon and – to a lesser extent – his partner Don Hagaty. A gang of thugs first shoot the two, and then Adrian is thrown off a bridge. After he lands in the water and washes up on the shore, Pennywise eats him.

It is made much clearer in the book, however The attack on Adrian is spurred by IT’s malevolent influence on DerryWhich reinforces the worst qualities of many of the city’s residents. It’s a very difficult scene to watch, but many would argue the brutality involved is necessary to truly convey the horror of what happened. This remains one of the most infamous moments in the two movies and shows the horrors that minorities, and especially the LGBTQ+ community, face in these small-town environments.

Stan Uris (Wyatt Olaf and Andy Bean)

The first member of the Losers’ Club to meet their death, Stan is driven to suicide by his memories of facing off with Pennywise as a child. At least that’s how it’s explained in the book. It chapter two Makes the regrettable choice to have Stan make the deliberate, thought-out, in-step decision To die by suicide, feeling that he would be a burden during the adult losers’ struggle with it.

This is a plot that has been criticized by many people, and deservedly so, as making suicide the responsible choice in Stan’s mind, instead of just fear driving him over the edge, completely changes the dynamic of his character and, by extension, all the Grown up losers about it. The losers made a blood oath to return to fight Pennywise, and when Stan realized he couldn’t do it, he chose death, and all the movie showed was his note explaining his fear as the reason.

Victoria “Vicki” Fuller (Ryan Kiera Armstrong)

The saddest death in It chapter two Belongs to a little girl named Victoria “Vicki” Fuller. She is watching a local baseball game with her mother before being pulled away by Pennywise’s voice. At first, she has the logical reaction of being scared by Pennywise, until the monster clown pulls on her heart strings by saying he has no friends because of the way he looks, which resonates with Vicki, as she has a large birthmark on her Face.

While it’s an oddly touching scene due to her compassion, Pennywise ends it by doing what he does and eating the kid. This scene is another one that is hard to watch and terrifying because the little girl is a pure, innocent victim, much like Georgie in the first movie. She is also a completely original character and was added to the film to create another innocent child’s death, while she did not appear in the Stephen King novel.

John Koontz (John Connon)

In all versions of itAfter Henry Bowers is falsely accused of all of IT’s child murders, he is sent to spend the rest of his life in the Juniper Hill Mental Asylum. That is until it shows up to help him escape, planning to use Henry as an additional line of defense against the returning Losers Club. in It chapter twoIt uses the shape of Patrick Hockstetter’s corpse to get Henry’s attention, while in the miniseries, it’s Belch, and in the book, it’s Victor.

on the way out, Henry murders an asylum guard named John Koontz, Which the book establishes as an abusive monster. He slits its throat, but it turns into a giant Doberman dog in the book to capitalize on Koontz’s fear of dogs. In a nice touch, the Koontz was seen watching a dog video shortly before his death, a little Easter egg to people who remember the scene from the King novel.

Dean the Skateboard Kid (Luke Roesler)

In a It chapter two Scene mostly taken from the book, Bill runs into Dean, a boy riding a skateboard through Derry, and learns that Dean has been hearing voices from the canal. While Dean’s equivalent survives Stephen King’s novel, he definitely does not survive the movie, Trapped in a fun house hall of mirrors with Pennywise, who makes a meal of him in bloody, upsetting fashion.

To make matters worse, Bill, who was trying to save Dean, was forced to watch the child die after being scared by Pennywise. Dean’s death serves as the catalyst for the Losers Club to take the fight back to it as a united front. In the book, Dean has no name, but he is a 10-year-old boy, and he survives until the end and is actually there with Bill when they decide that the evil haunting Derry is over. He never appeared in the mini-series and, in the movie, is just another innocent victim.

Henry Bowers (Nicholas Hamilton and Study Grant)

Henry Bowers remains the main human antagonist of itJust like he was in the book and 1990 miniseries. However, his racism of the two is much toned down in the movies (his father was a massive racist, and it bleeds over into Henry). Just like before, Henry escapes Juniper Hill with the help of it, and heads back to Derry to kill the losers. in It chapter twoHe chops up Eddie’s face, then later almost kills Mike earlier Richie impales him in the back of the head with an axe.

While seeing Henry die is no cause for tears, it is worth remembering that the primary reason he ends up so wild and violent is the harsh “discipline” meted out to him by his father, Butch, and later the corrupting influence of Pennywise. . It is also interesting to note that Henry was one of the primary antagonists in the book and miniseries. In the movie, he is mostly only used minimally, as it keeps more of a focus on Pennywise and is mostly shortchanged.

In Stephen King’s novel, Richie does not kill Henry, but Eddie does instead. Also, the weapon Eddie uses is not an axe. In the book, Eddie uses a broken bottle to stab and kill Henry to save Mike from the attacking killer. In the mini-series, Henry fights the losers and accidentally stuffs himself in the chest and dies.

Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Grazer and James Ransone)

The second and last member of the Loser’s Club to die, Eddie Kaspbrak may have long ago realized that his asthma medicine was nothing more than a “gazebo”, but that doesn’t save him from IT’s wrath. The friendship between Richie and Eddie is particularly memorable in It chapter twoEspecially after the ending reveals that Richie has hidden romantic feelings for his friend.

That makes it all the sadder when Pennywise’s spider hybrid form stops by Eddie’s chest with the long sharp legs. Eddie gets a good line on the way out, and his death is true to the book, but some fans wish director Andy Muschietti had decided to let Eddie live, even if it deviated from the text. While the death is sad and tragic in the movie, at least Eddie is able to help his friends destroy Pennyways before he succumbs to his injuries and dies, giving him mostly a hero’s death.

Pennywise/IT (Bill Skarsgård)

The dead in it And It chapter two wouldn’t be complete without the death of the titular villain, who spends most of his time in the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Granted, how the losers’ club kills him in this version is funny, how they talk it to death. It’s a strange way to defeat an ancient inter-dimensional monster that can manipulate reality at will and take any form it wants. However, the whole explanation is They have to eliminate their fear, and they mock it until it loses all its power and fades into nothingness.

In the book, it takes the form of a giant spider when it attacks the Losers Club, which is one of the more derided parts of the book. In the tale, the Losers’ Club uses the ritual of Chüd to weaken Pennywise. After this, the monster kills Eddie and races into hiding while the Losers Club destroys all of the creature’s eggs. Finally, Bill cuts into IT’s body and destroys his heart, similar to the movie, but without the “losing fear” moment. In the miniseries, the end comes in a major fight where they beat it into submission to get to its heart.
