History[]
Novel[]
On a stormy day, Georgie asks his older brother, Bill Denbrough, to make him a paper boat. Bill agrees, and makes the S.S Georgie. As Georgie was about to go out for the boat's maiden voyage, Bill uncharacteristically told Georgie to not go far and to be careful. Georgie assured Bill that he would be.
Georgie, initially enjoying himself, let the boat sail down the street in the rain. Eventually it slips into the sewer, upsetting Georgie. Seemingly out of nowhere, Pennywise pops up in the sewer, trying to chat with Georgie. At first, Georgie hesitates in talking to the clown, and refuses his boat when offered (as his father had told him not to take things from strangers). The clown introduces himself as "Pennywise The Dancing Clown", claiming that they were no longer strangers. Feeling like Pennywise had him on the ropes, a smiling Georgie was about to turn and leave, and told Pennywise that he had to go. Before he could, Pennywise stopped him by showing him his boat, which made Georgie become overjoyed to see it again. Pennywise beckoned Georgie to take his boat, with promises of cotton candy, rides, and balloons of all colors. When Georgie asked if they float, Pennywise responded to the affirmative. However, when Georgie reached down to take his boat, Pennywise told him that when he was in the sewers with him, he would float, too. Suddenly, Pennywise took the boat away from Georgie, grabbed him by the arm, and made him scream in terror. It transformed into Georgie's worst nightmare, ripped his left arm off, and left him to bleed horribly to death. Georgie was only heard by a nearby man named Dave Gardener and actually seen by the same man to witness him dead by the sewer.
Later in the summer of 1958, Jake Epping, upon arriving at Derry, learned that Georgie's death, along with the deaths of at least half a dozen other victims, were apparently hushed up by the town, enough that the newspapers of the town "didn't play it up".
George's death was the first in the fall of 1957 and it was what drove Bill to defeat It. Although in 1958, It threatened to appear to Bill as George, It never did so until 1985 (excluding Its appearance before Richie and Bill in Georgie's room; when It sprung from the canal in a photo wearing Georgie's face), in the sewers. When Bill saw It as George, he worked through his grief and overcame Its ruse. In the film, It did take on the appearance of George in both timeframes, with the 1958 scene being when the Loser's Club formed a circle, and George was the form that was chosen to try to break Bill's hold. In 1985, It was more subtle and appeared at a quieter point when the Losers tried to find It's lair. After finding and following Georgie's boat, George appeared, blamed Bill for sending him outside, and caused his boat to go down the drain. Bill was aghast until Beverly firmly said that was not George.
Miniseries[]
In the 1990 miniseries. Georgie wants Bill to read him a story. Bill in an act of annoyance tells him to bug someone else. Georgie then leaves Bill's room but, before he can Bill stops him and gives him a paper boat. Bill instructs Georgie to get the wax in the basement. He walks to the basement and sprints towards the wax and quickly runs back out in fear. Once the boat is finished. Bill tells Georgie to be careful to which Georgie says "I will" before scurrying away. As he sails his boat on the streets, the stream starts getting faster with Georgie not fast enough to catch up. Georgie dodges a few obstacles like a road sign before losing his boat in the sewer. He peers through the drain and attempts to walk away before hearing a voice. Soon a clown popped out of nowhere. The clown tells him he goes by the name "Pennywise".
Georgie and Pennywise hold a fairly normal and relaxed conversation. However, Pennywise's eagerness betrayed him, as he spoke in an eerily aroused tone, especially with his they float speech. Georgie's death happens off-screen, with the encounter ends with a close up of Pennywise's changed transformed face, showing yellow eyes and fangs before transitioning to Georgie's funeral. However, it is mentioned that Georgie's arm was ripped off, with his ghost in the sewers appearing without an arm as well.
