It Chapter 2: Pennywise’s Origin Explained

With the recent arrival of It Chapter 2 in theatres, fans everywhere seem to have even more questions about the origins of the notorious Pennywise The Dancing Clown! While some of us prefer to think of monstrous clown creatures as little as possible, others have delved deep in order to uncover the fascinating backstory of one of our most frightening villains. If you belong to that second camp, we’ve done some serious digging and have come up with some answers about the origin of Pennywise that might just have you running to the movies, or in the opposite direction.
For starters, It has actually been hanging around Earth causing mayhem for upwards of thousands of years, even millions! We know that It came to Earth from another universe and landed in what would later become the town of Derry, Maine. There, he first encountered the First Nations Shokopiwa peoples, and it is believed that it is with them that his habit of eating children for a year and then chillaxing for twenty seven began to form. We know that they tried to defeat him but failed, and then moved to the outskirts of Derry to get away from his evil behaviour. But why does It seem to have to stick to Derry if he is so powerful? Well some believe that he and the town are actually tied together on a much deeper level, that It’s wellbeing is dependant on that of the town. Check out these amazing theories and more incredible backstory of Pennywise in the video below, and we hope you have fun watching!

"Pennywise's Origin Explained" - proceeds to never explain the origin :C

[anyamartinez]

Let’s just say that Pennywise escaped from Area 51 and he’s starting to attack people.

[starmay]

Apparently Pennywise came from something called the Matroverse (probs got the name wrong) which is a whole other universe. Pennywise's only rival of equal strength is a giant turtle. The turtle represents creation and Pennywise represents destruction.

Pennywise apparently crashlanded on earth underneath what is now Derry Maine. The first settlers found Pennywise and he went on a feeding frenzy. Then he needed to hibernate for 27 years, then he woke up and repeat.

It is theorized that Pennywise never leaves Derry Maine as it is where he first crash landed and he cannot leave his home.

Pennywise adapted his look throughout the ages as the world evolved, he would take what is popular and twist it. During the time when the circus was popular he most likely adapted to the form of a clown and from the reaction it drew from the children probably made it his favourite.

So there you go, hope that helps clear some stuff up UwU
