A deleted scene from It had Pennywise eating a baby

October 15, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Last month, It star Bill Skarsgard revealed that a “really, really disturbing” flashback scene was cut from the theatrical release of the Stephen King adaptation. Now, thanks to Reddit (via Bloody Disgusting), we have details on the scene in question, which takes place in the 1600s and culminates with Pennywise eating a baby. Check out the script excerpt here…

A removed scene from the movie, about Abigail and Pennywise choosing her child
byu/lundgrenos inItTheMovie

When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

It sees Andy Muschietti directing Bill Skarsgard (Hemlock Grove) as Pennywise alongside Jaeden Lieberher (St. Vincent), Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things), Jack Dylan Grazer (Tales of Halloween), Wyatt Oleff (Guardians of the Galaxy), Chosen Jacobs (Cops and Robbers), Jeremy Ray Taylor (Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip), Owen Teague (Bloodline), Sophia Lillis (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and Nicholas Hamilton (Captain Fantastic).
