The book is a lot better than the movie. It includes a lot of added details and even a ton of side-plots that the movie never even touched on. Also, the book has a lot more adult-themed content that wouldn't have been possible for a TV movie, as it was originally aired. You should check it out. As far as movies losing their flair from what you remember, I totally agree with you. I used to be scared of Pennywise the Clown from "It" and a bunch of other horror movies that I look back on now and they're so awful. The same thing goes for the cartoons I grew up with. "Thundercats" felt so violent and awesome at the time, and now I look back at it and it's so watered down and the animation is nowhere as good as it seemed at the time.

the movie was interesting but way too long. The clown with the teeth was cool and people use "Penny Wise" the clown to explain their hate for clowns but I think clowns are actually hated because they're always coming at you and looking for someone in the crowd to harass. Plus, they have those big feet man...geeez

I first saw that movie when I was about 10 and it terrified me. I got older and became a huge Tim Curry fan and actually didn't even realize he was Pennywise. So I re-watched it and thought the only convincing part of the movie was Curry's performance. It's cheesy now, but it scared me as a kid..

I loved it. For a made for TV movie, I thought it was excellent and brilliantly done.
And after hearing so many people say they hated clowns after watching that movie, I'd say it was done right.
Of course, the book is better.
