I agree

It's funny because Pennywise is a monster but he still retains his clown-like behavior.

Well, Pennywise is part of a larger world that Stephen King created... this world can be seen in full by reading his Dark Tower series books. Pennywise is an empathic vampire (a vampire that feeds on emotion) much like what Tak is in Desperation or Dandelo.

Tim Curry is just an awesome character actor, period. It's evident how much he liked this character. Ultra creepy, and did not half-ass it at all! Brilliant.

Even in Home Alone 2 Tim Curry had the 'Grinch' smile.

People were terrified of swimming in the sea after the movie "Jaws". This movie did to me for clowns what "Jaws" did for swimming in the sea. After watching this, clowns will just never be the same to me again. The unrecognizable Tim Curry portrays a very scary and perhaps even somewhat classic horror character. Pennywise/It surely is one scary looking character!To be honest without the character Pennywise/It this two parts TV-movie wouldn't had been very well watchable or recommendable. The movie has a typically awful looking TV-movie visual style and the actors and storytelling aren't much good either. I have quite some fantasy but I'm just no big fan of Stephen King's horror novels. The story and the moments in it are just always highly unlikely, silly and over-the-top. "It" is no exception on this. Another major disappointing aspect of the movie are the special effects and the awful ending that is just a major let down and just isn't fitting and doesn't seem to have an awful lot to do to the earlier scary moments and the character Pennywise/It. Still for the fans of the horror-genre, there is plenty to enjoy. The movie has some good, original and well constructed scary moments and the character Pennywise/It should be reason enough for horror-fans to watch this two part made for TV movie.And of course on the acting front of the child actors (with the exception of the one who played Bowers) fare better than the adult actors,with the exception,of course,.Some of them are laughably bad in parts(especially the one playing the adult Bill when he tries to stutter,so sad when young Johnathon Brandis played him so well).Pennywise always gave me the creeps,possibly in a way no other horror movie character could,but all the other scary stuff is few and far between.At the end of the day,it was only ever a TV movie,and it is kept well within the confines of its perimeters.Well what I would like to say on my last words is Tim Curry is a terrifying form as Pennywise and I considered him one of the scariest characters in the history of cinema,never mind the fact he only ever appeared in a TV movie and possibly Harry Anderson.

I couldn't agree more! And all the tangential elements in several of his "stand alone" books?! I mean, c'mon! I would love to pick his brain and just see how he keeps it all in order. Amazing!

Can you imagine the spread sheet of all his books and how they all link together?
