Warning: Obviously, there are major spoilers for IT and IT Chapter Two below, as well as spoilers for Stephen King's novel.

Let's just get this out of the way first. This is obviously not the ideal way to find out what happens in a big-budget horror epic like IT Chapter Two, so if you haven't seen the film and you don't want to be spoiled, get the heck out of here! But other times, you just need a quick breakdown of what went down and who died.

Maybe you're not quite a horror fan but you want to know what happens and you're too scared to sit through the near-three-hour runtime. Maybe you can't remember that one character's name. Maybe you had a poorly-timed bathroom break and missed a key scene. We're not here to judge. If you need a guide to who died in IT Chapter Two and what happened, we've got you covered with a full breakdown of the need-to-know details below, from the terrifying to the tragic.

Adrian Mellon

Andy Muschietti brings to life one of Stephen King's most disturbing scenes with the death of Adrian Mellon, a young gay man who is victim to a horrifying hate crime. After a brief re-introduction to Derry, the Losers, and their pact, IT Chapter Two picks up in 2016 at the Derry Canals Days festival, where we meet Adrian and his partner, Don Hagarty, living it up at the carnival. When the pair share a kiss, a group of bigots starts hurling slurs at them, following the couple out of the festival and brutally beating Adrian before throwing him off the bridge into the canal.

Don comes running after him, but it's too late -- the brutal crime against Adrian marks the return of It, fresh from 27 years of slumber, and when the young man makes his way to the shore, he finds Pennywise waiting for him. By the time Don scrambles down to the water, he arrives just in time to see the killer clown feast on the love of his life. In the novel, two of Adrian's attackers are sent to prison and Don leaves Derry after the trial.

Stanley Uris

RIP Stanley Uris, aka Stanney, aka Stan the Man. The Losers take their first hit before they even land back in Derry, when Stan chooses to kill himself rather than return and fight It once again. You might remember from the first film that Stan was generally one of the most terrified in the bunch, and he also came the closest to becoming clown food when the Losers journeyed into the cistern and Stan got separated from the group. By the time the rest of the Losers found him, Pennywise had transformed into Stan's worst nightmare -- the flute lady from the painting in his father's office -- and wrapped It's teeth around Stan's head, leaving Stan sobbing about how they left him behind (how's that for a bit of foreshadowing?)

However, IT Chapter Two makes a significant change to Stan's death from the novel. In the film, Stan tactically chooses to end his own life so that the other losers stand a chance at defeating It once and for all. As the film ends, the Losers receive a heartfelt letter from their friend, explaining that he knew he was too terrified to face It again and that they would never succeed if they weren't united so he took himself "off the board."

Victoria Fuller, aka, The Girl Under the Bleachers

Poor little Victoria Fuller becomes the first of two tragic Georgie parallels in IT Chapter Two. We first meet Victoria at the Derry Canal Days festival, when Adrian Mellon gives her his prize from one of the carnival games, but her big moment comes a bit later when she meets a grim end under the bleachers at a baseball game.

Pennywise lures Victoria under the bleachers with a big bright firefly and shares a chillingly charming scene with her that's a direct mirror to Georgie's death in the first film -- there's even a line callback when Victoria mentions the birthmark on her face and Pennywise tells her he can blow it away (he tells Georgie the "whole circus blew away" in their scene.) At first, Victoria is wise enough not to trust the strange clown in the darkness, but he preys on her fears and insecurities about her looks, drawing the girl closer and closer, until he bites her head off.

Dean, aka, The Boy in the Hall of Mirrors

The second ill-fated Georgie surrogate in IT Chapter Two, Dean now lives in Bill Denbrough's old house. We first meet the young boy during the Jade of the Orient scene when he approaches Richie as a fan, but Richie mistakes him for one of Its glamours. After being thoroughly creeped out by Richie's furious response, Dean later meets Bill outside his house when Bill has a showdown with Pennywise in the sewer drain where Georgie died. Dean tells Bill that he hears voices from the drains in his house and once again gets totally freaked out by an adult Loser when Bill frantically screams at him to leave town.

Instead, Dean goes to the Derry Canal Days festival, where It lures Bill into a trap of mental torture. While Bill tries to save Dean, the two get trapped in a hall of mirrors, separated by a pane of glass. That's when Pennywise shows up and starts bashing his head into the glass panel on Dean's other side, with Bill pleading for It to take him instead this time. But It doesn't. It loves Its mind games. Shattering through the glass, It chomps into poor Dean right in front of Bill, leaving nothing but a brutal wash of bright red blood on the walls.

Henry Bowers

As a part of Its mind games, It recruits longtime bully Henry Bowers to torment the Losers once more in IT Chapter Two. Bowers and his gang of bullies spent their teen years torturing kids like the Losers, and their standoff became a bloody fight to the death after the Losers fought back with a rock war, and especially, after Pennywise further corrupted Bowers' mind, encouraging him to kill his father and stop the Losers before they could make it to his lair. Bowers almost got the upper hand over Mike, but Mike managed to fight back and save his own life, throwing Bowers down the well, seemingly to his own death.

Except, he didn't die. Chapter Two reveals that Bowers washed out in the Barrens (surrounded by children's body parts, naturally) and when he made it back home, he was immediately arrested for the murder of his father. In 2016, It turns to Bowers once again, giving him back the knife he used to kill his father and a ghoulish glamour of his old pal Patrick Hockstetter to break him out of the mental institution. He immediately goes after the Losers, first stabbing Eddie in the face at the Inn, but when Eddie manages to fight back and stab him with his own knife, Henry jumps out of the window in search of a new target. That takes him to the library, where he almost gets the upper hand on Mike once again, but this time Richie returns just in time to save Mike's life and drive an axe into Henry's skull.

Eddie Kaspbrak

The biggest gut-punch in the whole movie, Eddie Kaspbrak, aka Eds, aka Eddie Spaghetti, dies after Pennywise stabs him in the chest with one of his giant spider-claws. But he goes out like a boss. After the Ritual of Chüd fails and the Losers are on the run, Richie gets a full blast of the deadlights and starts floating away in the air. Using the fire poker Beverly gave him ("It kills monsters... if you believe it does"), Eddie rallies his courage and lands a punishing blow on the Pennywise-spider, but that doesn't kill It, and while he's checking to make sure Richie is OK, Eddie gets skewered through the back. It's brutal and heartbreaking, especially for Richie, who harbored a deep love for his best friend and is devastated to leave his body behind when the caverns start to crumble around them.

Eddie's death is a new spin on his similarly heroic end in the novel that, most importantly, maintains his turn towards heroism in his final moments. In the book, Eddie imagines his inhaler is full of battery acid and sprays it down Pennywise's throat, hurting the monster and saving Richie and Bill but losing his arm in the process. Either way, the end result is the same; absolutely devastating. RIP Eds, at least there's no greywater in heaven.

It, aka, Pennywise

Pennywise, Bob Gray, the Deadlights, the "flute lady"... whatever you want to call It, the child-eating otherworldly menace finally meets his doom for good at the end of IT Chapter Two. After the Ritual of Chüd fails, the Losers remember that everything must live by the rules of the shape it inhabits and make a plan to make Pennywise small by forcing him into a tighter space. But the giant Pennywise-spider quickly gets the upper hand until they realize there's another way to make him small -- make him feel that way. Together, they channel the power of their belief and write him off as a clown, a bully, a weak old lady, using his the images of his previous forms against him, until he starts to shrink and shrivel until he's little bigger than a baby. Mike reaches in and pulls his tiny heart from his chest and together, the Losers crush it in their hands, leaving his pitiful form to crumble into dust.

Unlike their last encounter, the caverns where It crash-landed to Earth and made Its lair begin to crumble around them, solidifying Its total destruction. What's more, this time, when the Losers leave Derry, they don't forget. The remember, the bad and the good, and most importantly, their friendships.
