In a new documentary Pennywise: The Story of IT, filmmakers Christopher Griffiths and John Campopiano profile the famed 1990s made for television hit mini-series..
There are exclusive interviews with the cast included in the documentary.
Pennywise: The Story of IT will premiere exclusively on horror streaming service Screambox on July 26. The movie will also be available On Demand.

For my own part, I recall this event being life-changing for my childhood. It either scared me to hell or it caused a sudden love of horror, the kind of which that not even Freddy or Jason did.
And yes.. while the new movies are quite fine, let’s face it: Tim Curry was the best Pennywise and defined all future portrayals..
