** Heck, if you go by the original dates King used, Pennywise would wake up in 1985... Look around, notice everything's gone, and then what? The sewer system goes all over, and the stable, tiny communities of survivors - probably having as many babies as possible - might end up with a hungry abomination feasting on its kids... Waking up to decimate each new generation of young survivors...brrr.

If he had left people on the outskirts of town [[spoiler:to kill Trash on sight, like he wanted earlier]], the plan would've failed, but no, he has to demonstrate to ALL his followers what happens to anyone who challenges him - even if these challengers, in and of themselves, pose no real threat to him.
