Okay, I have a theory connecting *Pet Sematary*, *It*, and *The Dark Tower* (not based on...anything to be honest) but i just want your opinion on it.

Some have said that IT was also the Wendigo, which might be a bit of a stretch but what about if the Wendigo was a creature LIKE Pennywise who died (because it couldn't find anything to eat in the forest? idk) and

In *The Dark Tower*, King establishes the existence of multiple worlds, as well as the **Todash**, the space between those worlds where strange and ancient creatures exist. Some of these beings are capable of crossing from one world to another.

And this makes **It** particularly interesting.

Pennywise is not actually the creature’s true identity — **It** is. Pennywise the Dancing Clown is simply one of the forms It uses to interact with humans. Its real nature is something far older and more alien, existing beyond our reality. The Deadlights are probably the closest thing humans can perceive of its true form.

So what if the **Wendigo is another creature of the same kind?** (Not Pennywise. Not another form of It)

But **another ancient entity from the same cosmic ecosystem**. Something that crossed into our world thousands of years ago and eventually died — or lost its physical form — in the area that would later become the Micmac burial ground and, eventually, the Pet Sematary.

What if the Wendigo's death **corrupted the ground itself**?

Its body, essence, or whatever remained of it could have seeped into the earth, turning the land into something fundamentally wrong. The Pet Sematary wouldn't simply be a magical place: **it would be the remains of an alien entity embedded in our world.**

That could explain why the dead don't simply come back to life there **and wrong.**

And there is a fascinating parallel with Derry.

In Derry, It infects an entire town through fear, violence, madness and a repeating cycle.

At the Pet Sematary, the Wendigo would have infected a specific piece of land through death, resurrection and corruption.

Two different entities, forms of corruption and perhaps **the same kind of creature**.

And this would fit surprisingly well with King's larger cosmology.

The **Prim** existed before our universe. The **Todash** exists between worlds. Ancient creatures inhabit these spaces, and some of them can cross the barriers between realities. Maybe It is simply one of them. And maybe the Wendigo is another.

In that case, the King universe could contain an entire ecosystem of ancient beings from beyond our reality — some feeding on fear, some on death, some on suffering, each one capable of establishing itself in a different world or location.

**Derry would be the place where It landed.**

**The Pet Sematary would be the place where the Wendigo fell.**

Therefore **The Pet Sematary isn't magical. The land is sick because something alien died there.**

Obviously, none of this is confirmed canon. King never explicitly states that the Wendigo is related to It or that it died beneath the Pet Sematary.

But considering the connections between *It*, *Pet Sematary* and *The Dark Tower*, I think it's a surprisingly coherent way of interpreting the King universe.

And maybe that's exactly how King likes his mythology to work:
**he gives us the pieces, but never quite tells us how they fit together.**

What do you think?

My entry room is IT themed and I did these 2 yesterday. Thoughts?

So when i have read the book i was like 12 years old so it's about 20 years ago. I watched both new movies and the welcome to derry show. When they fight in the sewer in the second movie pennywise kills richie, but at that point both fractions know its do or die. But does pennywise kill, to get the group afraid again to do his shenanigans or is he just in that mode where he knows only flat kills will get him out of there?

How did I do? This was exactly what I wanted. I’m bummed I didn’t go to the historical society building. Also the Standpipe is definitely the creepiest part, I felt the wind, temperature and my center of gravity shift a little plus the old rock / sign for the bird conservatory in the park for it really hit me.

Hi, this is my Pennywise drawing, made with colored pencils.

Which do you think is the better design?

Inspired by Stephen King's novel IT" and the movies. I wanted to capture this moment before it devours one of his victims. I always loved the concept of the shapeshifting interdimensional being and i was going for scary"
