The Deadlights or It (sometimes capitalized as IT), also known more commonly by it's favorite form as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, is the titular main antagonist of the 2017-2019 film series of the same name, and its upcoming 2025 television series prequel Welcome to Derry.
It, like the original novel counterpart, is an ancient supernatural curse who takes the form of one's worst fears (particularly children) before feeding on them. Having terrorized the Earth for generations, it's reign of terror soon comes to an end the moment it kills Georgie Denbrough, becoming the archenemy of his older brother Bill Denbrough, who seeks to avenge Georgie's death by killing It at all costs with assistance from his friends, thus is the reason for the Losers Club's formation in the first place.
•The Leper and the Witch were both portrayed by Javier Botet, who also played Tristana Medeiros in the REC film series, Valak in The Conjuring franchise, KeyFace in Insidious: The Last Key, Slender Man in the 2018 film of the same name and Dracula in The Last Voyage of the Demeter.
•While taking the form of Judith, the painted lady, it was portrayed by Tatum Lee.
•While taking the form of Georgie Denbrough, it was portrayed by Jackson Robert Scott.
•While taking the form of Alvin Marsh, it was portrayed by Stephen Bogaert.
•As Patrick Hockstetter, it was portrayed by Owen Teague.
•As Mrs. Kersh, it was portrayed by Joan Gregson.
In contrast to it's original novel counterpart, this version of It in the movie adaptation is significantly altered. In it's Pennywise form, it instead has a silver suit similar to Italian opera clowns and orange hair. It's face has two red lines starting above the eyes streaming down the cheeks and ending at the corners of it's mouth while the nos...
It's even more depraved than his original incarnation, and is not only a sadistic monster, but rarely bothers to fake being affable towards anyone, and even when trying to appear friendly, It's underlying creepiness still oozes through and it clearly struggles very much to act like a normal human. Instead of using a facade, it clearly prefers to co...

Welcome to DerryIt: Chapter 1It: Chapter 227 years later, It resurfaces when a group of homophobic teenagers beat up and toss a gay man named Adrian Mellon off the bridge. It then slaughters Adrian in front of his lover before presumably using his blood to write a message to Mike about his return. As such, It wasted no time in hunting the children of Derry, such as when it uses empathy to lure a young girl named Victoria into getting closer to it under the false assumption that it'd help make the birthmark on her face disappear. To further torment an adult Bill, It sends him a skateboard, explicitly letting him know that it was going to go after a young boy named Dean next. Realizing that Dean was heading to the carnival, Bill chases after him into the hall of mirrors. Unfortunately, It gets the upper hand and gruesomely kills the young boy in front of him. Horrified to have lost another young boy after Georgie, Bill decides to head to the Neibolt house to personally kill the creature after Henry wounds Mike and Eddie. After each member of the Losers Club went down their own quests to retrieve artifacts from their pasts to complete the Ritual of Chud, the ritual seems to work when it traps It's Deadlights inside of the vase, but it goes awry. A giant spider-like version of Pennywise emerges, revealing that the 7 members of the original natives known as the Shokopiwah tribe who had performed the ritual were immediately slaughtered by It itself. This version of it is a combination of it's default form Pennywise the Dancing Clown itself and the Giant Spider as described in the book. It then warps the Losers Club into different nightmarish scenarios, but they inevitably overcome their fears. It traps Richie in it's Deadlights, forcing Eddie to grab the pole Beverly gave him earlier and attacks the creature with it under the belief that it could kill it. Unfortunately, It impales Eddie with one of it's spider-like appendages, swings him around like a ragdoll, and tosses him, leaving him with a large wound in his abdomen. This one-act proves to be its undoing, however, when the Losers Club realize that in order to defeat It, they had to make it believe that it was smaller, due to it's only true control being that fear it held over them as children. Despite of it's insistence that it was the "eater of worlds", the remaining Losers taunt and insult until it realises they are no longer afraid of it, making it unable to psychically exist. The creature repeatedly until It was forced into a smaller, infantile form. It attempts to lash out at Mike, but is too weakened. To It's horror, Mike reaches into its chest and grabs its beating heart. It tries to grab it to no avail and is left crying like a baby, It's final words being "Look at you… you've all grown up!" with weak laughter. The Losers each mutually take a hold of the heart and crush it slowly. It reacts in pain until the heart explodes into a pasty substance, finally killing it and ending it's reign of terror. It's body disintegrates as the Deadlights vanish which erases it from existence, implying heavily that the Deadlights were revealed to be It's true form. With IT's death, everything IT caused have been avenged. After It's death, Richie tries to coerce Eddie's corpse awake, not accepting that he was truly gone till near the film's end after jumping into the lake with his partners. He attempts to take the body with him, but fails when It's lair and the Neibolt house start to crumble and collapse in response to IT's demise. The Losers are forced to leave Eddie's body in It's lair and the Neibolt house collapses on itself, sinking into a hole in the ground. After Richie accepts Eddie's death, he writes "R+E" on this fence shortly later in memory of his best friend.DifferencesMuch like the 1990 miniseries, It is depicted as not having eggs implying that it was the only creature of this caliber to exist (unless the book implied that It asexually reproduces). Also, unlike the novel where Derry is nearly destroyed immediately following the supposed death of it, the Neibolt house is the only casualty. It also does not enlist Tom Rogan with abducting Bill's wife Audrey as both characters had minimal appearances. It also manipulates Henry into murdering his father while speaking through some hostess while he never used someone in the book nor miniseries to make Henry end his father's life. Also, its true form (in the 2017 and 2019 films of It) is three rotating orbs of concentrated energy rather than anything remotely resembling a mass of orange crawling lights or an arachnid. Although, It takes on the shape of a drider, this is not it's true form and instead, a form that is best equipped to deal with an attack from multiple opponents. It also dies for good this time, and there is no implication suggesting he may be still alive. Bill Skarsgård added new layers to the personality of the creature, explaining that It got a thrill from being defeated and experiencing fear, and believed the creature subconsciously wanted to be killed or to cease existing. In that respect, It won. However, it is debatable if this is canon or not and if Andy Muschietti also shared this interpretation. If it is true, it only applies to the recent continuity and not the miniseries or the novel.It: Chapter One
