History Awesome / IT

* IT [[KickTheSonOfABitch killing]] Patrick Hockstetter. This comes in effect once you remember that he [[AssholeVictim killed his younger brother, and tortures and kills animals]].

* Eddie ''finally'' standing up to his mother in the hospital when she tries to separate him from his friends.

* The final battle with the titular monster is a great one for the Losers. It begins as a titanic mental showdown as the Spider tries to fling Bill across the universe and into the Deadlights, knowing that if it does, IT will win. Bill desperately tries to hang on but finds himself slipping and unable to concentrate. Cue Richie rushing in to save him, mentally hurting IT as it continues to try and fling them into the deadlights. When it seems as if Bill and Richie may not make it, Eddie, facing the physical Spider, sacrifices his life to grievously harm it and give the two enough time to pull themselves back to reality. With all of its masks gone, its Spider form heavily wounded and the deadlights far and away, IT is reduced to a horrified wreck arguably more terrified of the Losers than they are of IT. The last moments of Its life are a desperate attempt to bargain for Its life before [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Bill and Richie beat the ever loving eldritch snot of the thing]] and Bill crushes Its heart with his own two hands.

* Bill Denbrough's first face-to-face encounter with It. After learning from Eddie about a possible lair of the creature, he steals his dad's pistol and enlists Richie to come back him up. Upon first seeing It, he pulls his gun and screams "You killed my brother, you fucker!" and opens fire.

** IT then kills Tom, who was a {{Domestic Abuse}}r.

* "This is battery acid, you slime!" The best part is that it works. A kid runs up to a world-devouring monster, sprays it with an inhaler, and ''burns off part of its face''.

--> '''IT''': [[YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo -let me go, you promised to let me GO!]]
--> '''Richie''': I know, but sometimes, honeychile, [[ILied I lie]]. My Momma, she beat me fo it, but my Daddy he done just about give up.

-->"I'm doing the Mashed Potatoes all over it AND I GOT A BROKEN ARM!"

* [[spoiler: Christine]]'s cameo, in which Henry Bowers drives her to the hotel where the Losers are sleeping at. It has to be read to be believed.
* Beverly's beatdown of her [[DomesticAbuse abusive husband Tom]] at the beginning of the book. Also, especially as shown in the movie, a great bit of {{Foreshadowing}} for Beverly's later [[spoiler: nearly killing IT with the slingshot]]. She has ''wicked'' aim.

** Then [[spoiler: [[TearJerker sacrificing himself]] so Richie and Bill can come back from the deadlights.]]

* Bill gets in a good ShutUpHannibal to IT and shows that after all this time and terror, he's still ''[[BigBrotherInstinct pissed]]'' at IT for attacking his little brother and friends. [[spoiler:Even though the fight doesn't start off so well for him, he makes good on his promise]].
--> '''Bill:''' I'm still Bill Denbrough. You killed my brother and you killed Stan the Man, [[spoiler:you tried to kill Mike]]. And I'm going to tell you something: this time I'm not going to stop until the job's done.
