Stephen King’s IT was an ABC two-part miniseries back in1990 directed by Tommy Lee Wallace and adapted by Lawrence D. Cohen (Carrie). The story revolves around a predatory monster that has the ability to transform itself into its prey’s worst fears, allowing it to exploit the phobias of its victims. It mostly takes the humanoid form of a darkly comedic clown called Pennywise. The protagonists are The Losers Club, a group of outcast kids who discover Pennywise and vow to kill him by any means necessary. The series takes place over two different time periods, the first when the Losers first confront Pennywise as children in 1960, and the second when they return as adults in 1990 to defeat him a second time after he resurfaces.
