Pennywise terrorizes the Losers around Derry. Stan is scared by Pennywise coming out of a painting during his Bar Mitzvah practice. Eddie is approached outside the creepy house on Neibolt Street. Bill is tormented by the memory of Georgie. Bev is doused in blood in her bathroom.

Throughout the film, musical, and song, Pennywise uses the motif of red balloons, associated with his frequent identity as a clown.
