In the 2017 movie, Beverly was abducted by Pennywise and her friends traveled to the sewers to save her. After an odd sexual encounter with all of the boys in the novel following IT's defeat, Beverly and the rest of the Losers' Club agreed to a blood oath, promising to return in 27 years when Pennywise returned.
At least, not at first. After Bev is kidnapped by Pennywise and dragged down to his lair, the demonic, shape-shifting clown holds her up in the air by her neck and opens its jaw all the way back so she's forced to stare deep into its throat.
Bev is kidnapped by Pennywise. The rest of the Losers reunite to rescue her, heading back to the house on Niebolt street and climbing down into the sewers.
Despite her screams, her father is unable to see it, leaving Bev (and the Losers Club, depending on the version of the story) to clean it all up. And so the blood becomes a representation of the fear of her impending womanhood. To put it bluntly, the blood Bev sees is period blood.
Beverly and Ben leave Derry together and head west; one week later they are married and just weeks later Beverly is pregnant, making another curse broken.
IT (2017 film)
Unlike the novel or miniseries, Alvin is sexually abusive towards his daughter, Beverly. After she came home from the pharmacy, her father shows up in front of her and passionately sniffs her hair. This cause Beverly to have an emotional breakdown and cuts off her ponytail.
Each of the children individually encounter the mysterious, child-killing clown haunting their home town of Derry, Maine. The monster, which the group later collectively names "It", usually appears as the thing the child victim most fears before taking the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown.
Kersh is Pennywise's daughter.
Stephen King's IT sewer scene was the result of a creative decision that ended up being extremely controversial, and still looms over the book decades later.
It is Bill who eventually destroys It, engaging It in the Ritual of Chüd in both 1958 and 1985, and eventually killing It's physical form by ripping its heart out.
Stephen King's 'IT' introduced readers to a one-of-a-kind creature that can take any form, the most common one being Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and as menacing as it is, this creature has one big enemy it's truly scared of: Maturin, the turtle.
The cinematic adaptation of Stephen King's IT Chapter Two depicted the satisfying death of Pennywise while subtly hearkening back to Pennywise's first 1988 victim, Bill's brother Georgie.
Throughout the novel, Beverly is consistently abused by the men in her life. As a child, she is physically abused by her father Alvin. As an adult, due to the repressed memories of Derry, she marries Tom Rogan, who is physically and emotionally abusive towards her.
The Spider, the true form of IT in the physical plain of existence. Throughout the novel, It is generally referred to as male. However, late in the novel, the characters come to realize that It is most likely female, due to its true form in the physical realm being that of a giant pregnant female spider.
In the novel, It claims that its true name is Robert "Bob" Gray, but decided to be named “It”. Throughout the book, It is generally referred to as male, usually appearing as Pennywise. The Losers come to believe It may be female after seeing it in the form of a monstrous giant spider that lays eggs.
And if his victim believes him to be powerless, he will become powerless. And so the group figures out that their best bet is, essentially, to bully the bully: They mock Pennywise, telling him he isn't scary. Humiliated, Pennywise begins to shrink, transforming into an almost Benjamin Button–like, melted clown-baby.
In the books, Pennywise's true form is revealed to be a giant spider, a pregnant one, which might even make it female.
Basically, children are delicious. That hunger for tasty, tasty, beautiful fear is pretty much the sole reason It returns to Derry, Maine every 27 years to torment and feed on the townsfolk before retreating into a new cycle of slumber.
Throughout the summer and their trials against Pennywise and the school bullies, the Losers realize that none of the adults in Derry can actually see Pennywise or the horrors he is committing against the children of Derry.
Common fears for children of primary school age
Common fears include fear of the dark, burglary, war, death, separation or divorce of their parents, and supernatural beings (such as ghosts and monsters). Suggestions for helping your child include: Let your child know that you take their fears seriously.
Beverly's father can't see any of the blood in the bathroom. On one level, this is because he's an adult; a major theme of It is that the innate power of childhood and ability to remember childhood fears serve as a crucial weapon against It.
Beverly Marsh, the only girl Loser (played by the transcendent Sophia Lillis in the film), takes it upon herself to have sex with each of the boys as a way to help them grow closer together, unifying the Losers Club once again.
Rooted in her father's advances, Beverly Marsh has always had a fear of being a woman. In 2017's IT, we watched as a young Beverly started her period, consumed by the fear of what that meant and how it would further her father's obsession with her.
