Catch The Teaser And Poster For IT

“Let go. Be afraid. You all taste so much better when you’re afraid.” – It.

Winter of 1990 and ABC showed a miniseries that scared the living daylights out of viewers with it images of clowns and balloons. These were the days of VCR’s and cassette tapes, when DVR’s and Blu-ray weren’t even thought of yet.

The miniseries IT was true water-cooler banter for the next morning. Starring Richard Thomas, Tim Reid, Annette O’Toole, Richard Masur, Dennis Christopher, Harry Anderson and Tim Curry, it was based on the novel by Stephen King.

In 1960, seven pre-teen outcasts fight an evil demon who poses as a child-killing clown. Thirty years later, they reunite to stop the demon once and for all when it returns to their hometown.

The 2-parter won awards including an Emmy for it’s super creepy score – Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition for a Miniseries or a Special (Dramatic Underscore) – Richard Bellis (composer) for part I, as well as an Eddie for Robert F. Shugrue and
David Blangsted from the American Cinema Editors.

It was truly the stuff of nightmares those dark and cold November nights of 1990.

New Line Cinema’s horror thriller “IT,” directed by Andrés Muschietti (“Mama”), is based on the hugely popular Stephen King novel of the same name, which has been terrifying readers for decades.

When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.
