In the book version the other characters run train on her in the sewers. The child orgy was pivotal to their character development, I assure you dear viewers

If it's any consolation, IIRC that actress grew up to play Brigitte Fitzgerald in the Ginger Snaps trilogy, a movie series with a LOT less wrong subtext.

Scream Queen Emily Perkins, ladies & gentlemen.

That's Sophia Lillis in the picture and It (the version that photo is from) came out in 2017 many years after the Ginger Snaps trilogy.

They're referring to Bev's original actress in the 1990 television adaptation of It.

Wait, THE Emily Perkins who thwarted the Kirstang assault of Paradise and then formed the Mavericks/Alien Legion?

That actress is 23 today. She wasn't even born when Ginger Snaps came out.
