Inside the grim, shadowed house of Pennywise, with Eddie vanished into another room, Bill and Richie are left alone with their fear. Richie's eyes lock onto the missing children flyers papering the walls—and among them, he sees his own face. The flyers stir, the printed image animates, and a wave of pure panic seizes Richie. He cries out, unable to believe what he's seeing. Watching his terror, I grip his shoulders firmly, shaking him to anchor him back in reality, repeating that this is just the clown's deception, that he's safe here with me. Slowly, Richie's breathing evens out; the fright begins to loosen its hold.
