Does every kid see the same thing haunting them? - A Scary Clown Attacking the Teens Inside the Abandoned Building

Regarding the 2017 IT movie - I was wondering if every kid in the movie sees the same thing haunting them. I understand it's their 'fear' but I'm not sure if it's one of the following:

  1. Every kid sees a different form of 'fear', i.e. some see the clown, the other one sees a distorted painting figure / rotten zombie /etc
  2. Every kid sees a different monster AND the clown
  3. Everything is shared (i.e. the clown changes form throughout the movie) and the kids see them all


Best Answer

It, aka Pennywise, is an alien. It is also a shapeshifter, whose true form looks like a spider.

Pennywise normally appears as an evil clown holding a red balloon. But can shapeshift into other monstrous forms based on whom Pennywise is trying to terrify.

When It shapeshifts, every kid can see it. There are at least two scenes that I can recall from this movie:

  • Georgie without an arm: everyone can see it.
  • Woman with a distorted face biting on one of the kid: everyone can see it.

Answer 2

The story was told from different perspective but all included the "clown" vision. All the kids saw "IT" as a clown, and they also saw IT morphed into their feared thoughts. So it should be the option c) that you listed.
