So this is a question I've always had about It. Why would a supernatural demonic being from another Universe take the form of a clown in the first place? Obviously, there is the aspect of It's utilization of the clown form to cause fear in children. But why this clown? Where did It conceive of the idea of this specific clown?
I think the answer is in The Dark Tower. Now, I may be completely incorrect in this because it may be an Easter egg that only appears in the movie so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. BUT. It may not be for the reason you may think of off the top of your head. It does involve, however, the Pennywise theme park scene though.
Now, our malevolent clown does not actually have a theme park named after him. However, I think he assumed the name of Pennywise the Dancing Clown from this theme park. But it wasn't from the original clown Pennywise himself. Oh no...it's actually much darker, and much more sinister.
I think the original Pennywise whose name is seen displayed in the theme park as one of the attractions had...a child. And I think that in this particular child's case, his number one greatest fear...was his father. Who was the original...Pennywise the Dancing Clown. And when It encountered this child to consume him this is when It became Pennywise the Dancing Clown.
And in fact, this child was so afraid of his father, and so afraid of It in this form that was literally the best 'salted meat' he had ever tasted. And now he wants the same taste again and favors the clown as a form in an attempt to find a child this 'salted' again.
Thought's and opinions?
