this movie scared the hell out of me as a kid.
The plot is very complicated, but the base it that there is a supernatural being in Maine that takes the shape of a clown, and eats children.
Discuss.
Saw this when I was a kid, holy crap was it scary oh my god i gaaaaaaaaah!

fucking blood in the bathroom holy crap

also clown coming out of a book.
holy crap he lured that kid down into the sewers oh god :crying:
Saw this when I was 6 years old. Maybe younger, not sure.
We had plenty of movies in our house. This one was a movie I was forbidden to see...so naturally when I was alone I watched it. I watched it behind a couch because I was scared.
I had nightmares of the clown for a while afterwards. I even refused to use these bedsheets that I had because they had a clown on them.
I was scared shitless for the first five minutes until I found out that it wasn't even that scary.
Should have won an award for best make-up for that scene in the sewers.
Or at least a TV Movie award in general.
Hello, Georgie. I'm Pennywise, the dancin' clown. Want a baloon? They [i]all float down here...[/i]
Tim Curry was amazing as It. I heard they are making a full-length movie or something, is that true?
It was really good up until the ending, with that big gay, poorly animated spider thing. Worst ending in the history of mankind.
the book was great
the movie sucked balls
they are remaking it so hopefully that one will be better

Totally agree. The clown was creepy at first, then became a villain, and it was cool to see it with some personality. Especially the Library scene.
I'm glad I didn't watch the movie when I was a kid, it would probably give me a clownophobia.
Anyway, I hope they will make a different ending for the remake, because I was badly disappointed by the end of the movie. They can't replace Tim Curry though :( no one will be able to play Pennywise as good as him.
they all float :clownballoon:

I hear Jack Earl Haley is open for a horror movie :P
Book > Film
[QUOTE=o DefcoN o;21882870]Book > Film[/QUOTE]
that's what I've heard.
I read about 400 pages of the book, but then I had to give it back to the library.
BEEP BEEP Richie! They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, [B]you'll float too![/B]
This movie IS my childhood, and i can't even express how much i love it!

Read the remaining 700, it's awesome.
Oh man, I have the book, but I put it in my cupboard and forgot about it until now. I [b]really[/b] need to continue it sometime.
I love this book, but seriously King. That part towards the end after they kill the damn thing. I understand why it's in there, but was it [i]really[/i] necessary to describe underage kids having a gangbang in the pitch dark sewers in such vivid detail?
It was seriously the only part of any book I've ever read that made me feel dirty for reading it.
To be honest this movie wasn't at all scary, much like every single other Horror film I just laughed at it.
The Spider thing was just the icing on the cake.
i had a phobia of clowns that movie scared the s*it out of me!!
I don't like clowns so avoided this film when I was younger. May watch it at some point, reading some Stephen King novels at the moment (well read some recently and reading one now) so may pick up IT at some point.
Ah, the mind of Stephen King. How I love thee.
I'll never understand how so many people can be scared of Clowns...
The movie was pretty good; Tim Curry made a perfect Pennywise. I loved the book though, because of the different manifestations of "It" to the kids. In the movie Pennywise always appeared as a clown, but in the book It appeared in several different forms, each pertaining to each kid's individual fear: A clown, a werewolf, a leper, an animated statue, a black lagoon type creature.....all sorts of different things. I just love the book because it's so much more violent and disturbing.....definitely one of King's best works.
The movie was a bit too cartoonish for me. The book is really gruesome with some pretty disturbing scenes but they left all those out of the movie and basically turned it into a comedy.
I watched this when I was about 4, to this day I still avoid looking down drains when I walk past them.
Funniest horror film ever.
Right after the Chucky series.
:crying:
NO OH GOD NO!
I don't wanna look at it
Tim Curry plays Pennywise?
now I can't take the clown seriously considering Tim Curry plays Dr. Frank N. Furter
IMO they should have left in the whole "Derry-Getting-Obliterated-By-IT's-Death" part from the book.
