10 Deleted Scenes That Explain Confusing Horror Movie Moments

At the outset of this list, let it be known that we're not fussy here, not really. We don't need everything to be tied up in a neat bow, and having a bit of mystery in a film is clearly only going to add to the overall enjoyment of the piece. Sometimes, movies can go a little too far toward explaining away the intrigue of a plot, when the imagination of the audience may have been the best tool for the job.

There are some movies that could have done with just leaving one or two extra moments in though. That is not to say that every deleted scene on this list improves the quality of the parent piece, as there are a couple here in fact that would change the interpretation of their films overall, which can be for better or worse.

However, each scene here goes a way toward clearing up confusion or even impressions left on a film that may or may not have been intentional on the part of the writers and directors. Starting with a fairly well known one, which of these scenes do you feel should have been left in and which are better on the cutting room floor?

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.
