He is also a form that Pennywise/IT uses to frighten Beverly since he is what she fears the most. It is also implied (and confirmed in the 2017 film) that he sexually abuses his own daughter. He was portrayed by Frank C. Turner in the miniseries, and Stephen Bogaert in the 2017 film.
Beverly Marsh's father and Elfrida Marsh's husband. Like Richard Macklin and Butch Bowers, he is physically abusive. He slaps and punches Beverly but also sexually abuses her by masturbating over her while putting her to bed.
Beverly's father can't see any of the blood in the bathroom. On one level, this is because he's an adult; a major theme of It is that the innate power of childhood and ability to remember childhood fears serve as a crucial weapon against It.
After Bev is kidnapped by Pennywise and dragged down to his lair, the demonic, shape-shifting clown holds her up in the air by her neck and opens its jaw all the way back so she's forced to stare deep into its throat.
This would lead to one of the biggest Stephen King book controversies: after the Losers become lost in the sewers trying to make their way back to the surface, in IT Beverly decided to have sexual intercourse with all the boys from the Losers Club.

Why is Beverly so scared of her father in IT?
IT (2017 film)
Unlike the novel or miniseries, Alvin is sexually abusive towards his daughter, Beverly. After she came home from the pharmacy, her father shows up in front of her and passionately sniffs her hair. This cause Beverly to have an emotional breakdown and cuts off her ponytail.
We learn that Richie Tozier, the fast-talking, foul-mouthed teenager (played by Finn Wolfhard) who grew up to be a popular stand-up comedian (Bill Hader) is gay and has been secretly in love with his friend and fellow club member Eddie Kaspbrak (played as an adult by James Ransone).
Anyone who read the book IT by Stephen King would know that Beverly Marsh's mother, Elfrida, passed away from cancer. However, in the 1990 miniseries and 2017 film, there is absolutely no mention of her mother.
Unfortunately, Eddie is a victim of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy with his own mother as the abuser. This means Mrs. Kaspbrak has been faking all of Eddie's illnesses in order to have unlimited control over him. Even his asthma inhaler is a placebo or "gazeebo" as the 2017 version of Eddie so hilariously puts it.
Movie! Flashback of the past of Pennywise and his. Daughter Kersh 🤗 Of when IT became & took over. Pennywise the Dancing Clown better known as Bob. Gray.
Marsh gets there, Bev whacks him across the face with a toilet lid, killing him. Just as she is about to leave, Pennywise finds her and takes her. Bill goes by Bev's house and finds her father dead in the bathroom, and sees "YOU'LL DIE IF YOU TRY" written on the wall in blood. Why does Beverly hate her dad in “It”?
When this scene between Mr. Marsh and Beverly occurs in the novel, King makes it clear that Bev's father is actually possessed by It. It takes the shape of whatever its target fears the most, so Mr. Marsh is used as a conduit to embody Beverly's worst fears of abuse.
As deep a connection as Bill and Beverly have, morally, it makes both of them look bad. While Bev was Bill's childhood crush, he's been happily married to wife Audra for many years and is back with her by the end of the story. Committing adultery isn't the best thing for the hero of a tale to do.
However, they make an oath that, if Pennywise is not in fact dead, they will all return to Derry to defeat him. In his adult life, Bill has become a successful writer and married an actress, Audra Phillips. Bill has controlled his stutter and, due to the nature of It, cannot remember Derry, Georgie, or The Losers Club.
She is the daughter of Pennywise and was brought up by him and incorporated into all of his evil ideas. She's a part of the whole thing. It's a transformation.”
Of course, as stated before, it's highly likely that it wasn't intended that she wanted to rape Eddie. However, she did pressure him into having sex with her when he did obviously not want to. if Eddie said, multiple times, that he does not consent, Beverly is taking advantage of him.
Beverly Marsh is one of the seven members of The Losers Club. She is sexually abused by her father, Alvin Marsh, and bullied by Gretta Keene and some of the other students at school because of rumors of her being promiscuous.
Well, the simple answer would be an emphatic no. As was demonstrated in IT Chapter One, the pair were close in the book — with Richie even going on to kiss Eddie on the cheek following his sacrifice. However, there was nothing to imply that their dynamic was anything but a deep friendship.
In IT, Richie (played by Finn Wolfhard) admits to his friends that he's terrified of clowns, which is coincidentally the default form that Pennywise takes on. However, in both the book and the 1990 miniseries, his greatest fear is a werewolf, and cutting this from his battle with Pennywise was a mistake.
“Beep beep, Richie,” Stan hissed, elbowing his friend sharply in the ribs and hoping none of the other losers had heard his comment. Richie had caught Stan eyeing Bill a few times now and, while Stan had still refused to admit it out loud, incessantly teased him about his crush.
Understanding that the group won't be able to escape without being unified, the gang's lone female member, Beverly, decides she needs to have sex with the six boys. "I have an idea," Beverly said quietly. In the dark, Bill heard a sound he could not immediately place. A whispery little sound, but not scary.
To put it bluntly, the blood Bev sees is period blood. She is afraid of going through puberty and becoming a woman. She fears this because of her abusive, misogynistic father and the fact that boys and men already sexualize her.
Finally, Pennywise tears off Georgie's arm to make sure Georgie knew he was going to die. Does Pennywise (IT) have to eat and kill only children? No, that's a common misconception, IT only prefers to hunt children because they taste better and IT has more fun with their fears.
In the novel, It's origins are nebulous. He took the form of a clown most frequently, Mr. Bob Gray or Pennywise, but his true form is an ancient eldritch entity from another universe who landed in the town that would become Derry by way of an asteroid and first awoke in 1715.
