* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: His interaction with Georgie, particularly the part where he stares at him in an almost predatory manner, complete with him drooling, makes him come off as a legitimate pedophile.
Added DiffLines:
* FauxAffablyEvil:
** This Pennywise speaks in a pleasant, soothing tone when conversing with his potential victims, but none of it is real and only highlights his malevolent nature. And sometimes, he won't even bother pretending.
** His interaction with Georgie demonstrates this perfectly. When Georgie first sees him, his eyes are a sinister shade of yellow, but he quickly changes them to a more soothing shade of blue and disarms Georgie with a joke about popcorn. Once the joke ends, he stares at Georgie in a way that can only be described as predatory, complete with him drooling, showing that underneath the clownish facade lurks something truly demonic.

* SoftSpokenSadist: In contrast to Tim Curry's bombastic, hammy portrayal, Pennywise in this film rarely raises his voice above a light, airy whisper, which only serves to emphasize how monstrous he really is underneath.
