He breaks it on a nearby rock and uses a shard of the glass to cut the palms of all the Losers. What he could not deal with was being dirty and not knowing where he was.Īfter the kids escape the sewers after defeating It for the first time, Stan leaves the group momentarily to retrieve a discarded Coca Cola bottle. He said that he could, in fact, deal with the fear he was experiencing. While in the sewers, Stan was the most uncomfortable and terrified. Stan says, however, that he did not want to see it. He repeatedly began saying "no" and denying what he had seen, until Bill told him that they had all seen it. After the book was closed, Stan was unable to deal with what he had just seen. As the group looked through the pictures, the images inside came alive as they did when Bill and Richie had looked through Georgie's photo album, and Pennywise began to try to harass them. Stan also has intense difficulty accepted the reality of It targeting the Losers when Mike brings his father's photo album of pictures of Derry throughout history. However, when he turned his back, he saw a hand devoid of fingerprints, beckoning for him to come to them. Reaching for his bird book, he began to chant as many names of birds as he could remember, which resulted in the door opening as he chanted more, finally allowing him to go back out into the park. A voice began to call to him, claiming that they were "the dead ones", as he later found out meant the children that had drowned in the Standpipe. As he ascended the stairs into the Standpipe, he heard footsteps and then saw shadows above him.
He then heard the door of the Standpipe open, and, curious as to how it could have opened on its own, he decided to venture and take a look. When he looked at the Standpipe, he said that to him it had appeared to be floating.
The appearance of It for Stan happens one day when he is bird watching in the park where the Standpipe was. He even told the Losers that he attempted to convince himself what he had seen had been an epileptic fit of some sort, as it was easier to come to terms with than the reality of what he had seen. Like Richie, he believed that his encounter had been a dream at first. Stan is reluctant to tell the others about his encounter with It until later when he is helping Beverly wash the blood-stained rags from her own encounter with It at the laundromat. Bill and Eddie state that it is typical for Jews to "have big noses and a lot of money", but that Stan "had a normal nose and never seemed to have enough money." He appears to have a close relationship with his parents, although they seem to put a lot of pressure on him. However, in the 2017 film, his father is a Rabbi. In the novel, Stan's family is Jewish but they do not follow the practice very strictly (Stan did not even know what it meant to be kosher), attending the synagogue in Bangor only for high holidays like Yom Kippur. He was said to “chum with” Bill, Richie, and Eddie on occasion, but he first joined the Losers' Club at the same time Richie did, helping Bill, Eddie, and Ben build the dam in the Barrens. He can often be seen with his bird book (something that is later used to fight against It).Īs a child, he was good friends with Bill Denbrough, Ben Hanscom, Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak, Mike Hanlon and Beverly Marsh. He is described as being in the grade lower than the other losers (the 4th grade.) In the book, he is shown as having a strange sense of humor, telling jokes that the losers don’t understand, because he has an odd knowledge about the world. He has a very set way of approaching life, so the appearance of It in his life turns everything around and confuses and terrifies him. He is also the most skeptical and fearful of It, not being able to accept the happenings around him at first and terrified to believe that It is real. Stan was a very methodical and mature child, particularly about always keeping clean and (in the 2017 Film) suffers from OCD. Not only do the bullies berate Stan about his religion, but Richie constantly jokes and makes fun of it as well. Stan was one of the only Jewish kids in the school, something which resulted in severe torment from Henry Bowers and his gang. In the film adaptation, he has curly light brown hair and still has the fastidious mannerisms the original Stanley Uris has. In the 1990 mini-series, his appearance is the same as the novel. In the novel, Stanley is described as fastidious, wears formal clothes and has black hair.
