10 Awesome Horror Movie Villains With One Stupid Weakness

Whether it's Stephen King's 1986 novel, the 1990 TV miniseries, the 1998 Woh series, or Andy Muschietti's two movies, Pennywise the Dancing Clown is a truly terrifying presence. Complete with grim imagery and memorable moments of utter dread, this otherworldly beast is genuinely the stuff of nightmares.

That is, until Pennywise is finally put down at the tale's close.

Famously, It's ending is somewhat of a letdown, whether that's in written form or live-action. While that ending has certain differences in each medium - the source material featuring the Ritual of Chüd, alternative dimensions, and a giant turtle - but, as particularly highlighted in Muschietti's It Chapter 2, you can defeat Pennywise by essentially bullying the creature into submission.

By having the nerve to simply stand up to Pennywise, throw some harsh truths at the harlequin, and let it know you're not afraid, this eerie being shrivels down in size, becoming a shell of itself and ripe to be finished off - as seen, by Pennywise having its heart ripped out at It's close.
