Patrick Hockstetter

He was a towering figure to everyone around him and had a slender physique with pale skin and thick, long dark hair flicked upwards. His moment prominent outfit in the film featured him wearing dark grey jeans tucked into black combat boots, a yellow T-shirt with red piping depicting the titular cat from Tom & Jerry sticking his tongue out and several studded bracelets on his left hand. Patrick was a very insane, deeply disturbed, and psychopathic person who had a solipsistic worldview and believed himself to be the only "real" being, considering everything except him to not be real, explaining why he does not feel any fear or pain (the only exception being leeches, which he feared from an early age). He was willing to kill his baby brother out of fear of being replaced, which clearly broadened Patrick's likeness for cruelty and murder, slowly but surely molding him into the psychopath we see him as. Despite thinking that "real" does not exist apart from himself, he does have a vague concept of the rules and breaking them. Although for Patrick, the only thing wrong about breaking the rules is getting caught while doing so. He is also a provocative and sexual sadist who draws excitation from torturing and killing animals and insects. Patrick would use his fridge to torture animals and strays all for the sake of his twisted gratification. He would also frequently attempt to grope his female peers, and in the novel, he performs perverted acts such as giving Henry a hand-job, and attempting to suck his penis.His report cards show him as being a temperamental, emotionless, and apathetic student, and though his IQ tests show him to have an intelligence slightly under the average, he is described as "far more clever than his lackluster IQ results indicated". Stephen King also takes note that Patrick's psychopathic behaviour would have been picked up on if he was born in a later era. he seems to show strong signs of pyromania and sadism also here Patrick, contrary to the book, is very tall and weighs 127lbs (57Kg). Patrick was a deeply disturbed young man who fell under the illusion that he was the only real human being in the world (solipsism). He expresses this delusion when he kills his baby brother, Avery, at the age of five out of the fear of being replaced. As a child, Patrick and his family go swimming in a lake, and he develops a fear of leeches after several of them attach themselves to him. As a student attending Derry Elementary School, Patrick develops a reputation for being creepy due to his habit of keeping dead flies in his pencil box, and female students stop sitting in front of him due to his tendency of groping them. Patrick, deeply sadistic, kept the corpses of animals he killed in a refrigerator down at the junkyard, the animals being strays or pets stolen from people's homes that he starved to death in the fridge for both his own amusement and sexual gratification. It is implied that IT uses its powers to prevent people from discovering the fridge, as the day Patrick found it in the town junkyard was the day Georgie Denbrough was killed by It. Some time before the events of the July of 1958, Henry Bowers finds out about the fridge and the animals.
