10 Deleted Scenes That Explain Confusing Horror Movie Moments

10. IT Chapter 1 - Henry Kills Vic And Belch

Henry Bowers is a frightening creation from the man you absolutely knew would feature on this list somewhere: Stephen King. IT Chapter 1 was a surprisingly wonderful movie, featuring excellent acting talent from the child stars, along with a brilliant pace, genuinely unsettling performances and a powerful central villain in Pennywise the dancing clown.

Henry Bowers is something of a secondary antagonist, while also serving as a puppet of Pennywise. He is so much more than the school bully, terrorizing the other children and threatening them with very real harm. Mike and Ben fare the worst in this first movie. That is to say - they fare the worst of those who survive.

Pennywise taps into the raging psychopath withing Henry, gifting him a lost weapon of his knife. Henry calmly murders his father, extending the blade into the sleeping man's throat. Then, in a cut-scene, he parks his car outside the house on Niebolt Street.

Victor Criss and Belch Huggins sit beside him, both of their throats slashed open by their one-time friend. The scene is barely thirty seconds long and explains where these two boys disappear to in the climax of the film, while also further depicting Henry's madness.
