When Stan is studying for his bar mitzvah, he discovers the bizarre extent to which Pennywise will toy with the Losers' Club.

A creepy painting depicting a woman with a contorted face falls over, but when Stan puts it back up, the woman is gone.

He turns around to be greeted by the woman in the room, naturally freaking him the hell out and causing him to flee immediately.

What's extra interesting about this scene is that the woman clearly resembles Mama, the titular creature from director Andy Muschietti's debut. It's a fun little nod that's extremely creepy but doesn't insist upon itself either.
