I think Pennywise was paying the Losers constant visits

I get the impression that Pennywise paid more than the few visits to the Losers and other children of Derry that we see in the movie, and indeed scared them most nights. For example, Stan mentions the "woman that I keep seeing", or rather, that painted thing that we see with him when it possibly first appears and scares the living daylights out of him. It may have come back in the middle of the night, as a shadowy figure at the foot of his bed or something, grinning.

Of course, the downside of that is that the scares would no longer be scary after a while, but Pennywise, I'm sure, took on other forms to maintain the scare factor. And the Losers, not knowing fully what was going on yet, would still be scared.

So, you thought this up yourself?

Or,

Did you read the script recently released for the sequel in which it confirms that Pennywise controlled Derry whilst in hibernation? This is depicted in a scene in the sequel, which is taken from the book, which was left out of the original two part series, where a bunch of kids savagely beat up a gay kid, and then Pennywise kills him indirectly. This is while he’s in hibernation (the scripts term, not mine😉)

Oh you cheeky boy, you’ve read the script for the second movie haven’t you?😁

Naughty naughty.

No but joking aside, there is an article on Looper with the links. And some good shots of the actors and scenes from the second instalment. But it’s always been the case that Pennywise controlled Derry. That suggestion was made in the second part of the original offering. “There’s something very wrong with Derry”
