Patrick Hockstetter is a member of Henry Bowers' gang in the 2017 horror film, It.
Background[]
History[]
Personality[]
In the book Patrick is a sociopath who murders his baby brother and animals for fun. He took sexual enjoyment for his actions and believed himself to be the only real person in the universe. Despite his low grades in behavior, in reality, He was very intelligent and was also implied to be bi having a tendency to fondle girls while also jerking. He was the only member of the Bowers gang not to be disturbed by Henry's growing insanity cause he's just as much, if not more so insane than the former.
In the film his sociopathic and murderous tendencies are toned down with his worst act being shooting a flamethrower over Ben with more intention to scare him than actually burn him and while he did enjoy Henry cutting Ben and licks his lips when Richie walked by him in school, he is not shown to be bi nor get sexually aroused seeing others in pain.
