Some films stick with you. The first time you saw The Exorcist at a sleepover. The moment Jaws made you swear off stepping foot in the ocean again. For a whole generation, IT (1990) was that film, the one that burrowed deep into their subconscious, and never really left.
Time to relive the nightmare on the big screen.
Over two nights, we’re bringing Stephen King’s IT: Part 1 and 2 to the Mockingbird. The two-part TV miniseries follows the Losers’ Club, a group of childhood friends bound together by something far darker than nostalgia.
Every 27 years, It returns to Derry, feeding on fear and luring children to their doom. At the heart of it all? Tim Curry’s maniacal, unnervingly funny clown Pennywise.
Unlike the modern remakes, this first screen adaptation weaves childhood and adulthood together in a way that forces our heroes to confront their past trauma head-on. And that’s the real terror of IT—not just the monsters in the dark, but the fears we carry with us.
