The Ritual Of Chud Explained
The biggest question in both the book and movie versions of IT is how do you actually defeat an interdimensional immortal psychic being made of pure light when all you have is an inhaler and a shower cap?
Simple, The Ritual Of Chud!
Dumb downed to it’s simplest form, The Ritual Of Chud is basically a battle of wills that takes place between the minds and hearts of The Losers Club and Pennywise.
The ritual itself dates back to an ancient native american tribe that initially inhabited the land that would become to know as Derry. The native americans believed that IT was an evil spirit or demon similar to the Wendigo and that the only way to get rid of it was to trap its essence in a container.
Depending on which version you check out, either Bill or Mike discover this ritual and according to the legend, it’s the only way to defeat the creature.
It Book Ritual Of Chud
In the original source material, The Losers Club performed the Ritual as children and later as adults.
In the first ritual, the group believed that silver would kill IT due to its prominence in horror movies where it was often used to defeat vampires and werewolves. However, we later learn that because the children believed that it was powerful that it took on the powers.
After Bill researches the creature he discovers that it originates from a Himalayan tribe and it’s capable of vanquishing several beasts and that during the ritual if the creature you are performing it on sticks it’s tongue out, you must stick yours out too and these will overlap and you can bite into the creature and thus enter its mind.
It’s very sort of metaphysical and is to do with the connection that will be brought from being locked eye to eye with the creature though anyone who asks to french kiss Pennywise is asking for trouble.
Why Does Pennywise Die?
Whilst I’ve seen some people say that they defeated Pennywise by simply making him like a kid with no date for the prom, it’s actually far more complex than that. Pennywise exists because of fear and it feeds on it, this is why the creature tends to attack people when they are vulnerable. We see this when Ben is scared to enter the library basement, when Stan has to walk past his father’s scary painting…which I have no idea why it exists…when Adrian Mellon is drowning and when the Loser’s club have just been attacked by Henry Bowers.
Therefore if there is no fear, Pennywise cannot be empowered and thus it shrinks down to become almost baby-like and the losers are able to tear out it’s heart and crush it. Now none of these guys are Lloyd Christmas in Dumb and Dumber but because they believe that Pennywise has a heart they are able to do it.
Movie Ritual Of Chud
Now, where it differs from the book is that in the film, after making their way to Pennywise’s Lair located below the Neobolt House, Mike, along with the rest of the group, perform the ritual but it completely fails. They use tokens from their past that are connected to happy memories and join hands in a circle only to discover that they simply aren’t powerful enough to defeat the creature. After bursting their bubble, literally, Mike reveals that the previous time that the ritual was performed by the Native Americans, it too did not work but he believed that it would for them due to their connection.
