The Lesser and Greater Banishing Ritual of Chüd

ACE :

Professor, that noise you were making - 

like singing, only it wasn't.

TIME’S CHAMPION : 

Ah, just a little something to frighten off Haemovores.

ACE:

I thought vampires were scared of crucifixes.

TIME’S CHAMPION :

No, no, it's not the crucifix that frightens them, 

it's the Faith of the person carrying it. 

It creates a psychic barrier, 

just like I did.

The Ritual of Chüd was a Battle of Wills and was the only way to defeat IT.

Bill Denbrough first battled It with the Ritual of Chud with advice that was given to him by Maturin. 

The ritual was a psychic battle in which the two forces dueled with their wits. 

The children believed that the metal silver had supernatural abilities, as seen in numerous monster movies. Because the children believe it, the silver became real and was a chief weapon used in the ritual. 

Because Beverly was good with a slingshot, the Losers' Club injured It the first time when Beverly shot a chunk of silver into Its skull. 

The Losers' thought that they killed It, but weren't sure, so they made a pact to return to Derry should It ever return. 

It was finally destroyed in the second Ritual of Chüd by the adult Bill, Richie Tozier, Beverly Marsh, Eddie Kaspbrak (he was killed by It) and Ben Hanscom.

The Clown slices through a sheet of plastic. Willow screams and they start to run, right into Giles.

Giles:  

No sign of Buffy?

They grab hold of him and pull him with them. 

He sees the clown and starts to run, too. 

When they reach the end of the hall Xander stops, 

tired of the whole thing. 

He goes up to the clown, and as the clown raises 

his knife to attack, Xander punches him 

dead in the face and knocks him out.

Xander: 

You were a lousy clown! 

Your balloon animals were pathetic!  

Everyone can make a giraffe!

They leave the clown lying there. Cut outside. 

They come running out of the building and stop.

Xander:  

I feel good! I feel liberated!
