Loved Tim Curry as Pennywise and he made it worth watching (and rewatching), but the movie itself wasn't very engaging. A big part of that was probably just the effects of the time and — as you mentioned — having to soften some of the scarier/intense moments for network TV.

The book, as most King books go, is great.

It was the first Stephen King novel I ever read. I'd read Skeleton Crew though. Anyway... I couldn't believe how quickly I devoured It. At 14 years old it was the longest book I had ever read. It took me 3-4 days. I get to the ending, and I couldn't believe how bad it was. As I read more of his stuff, I discovered that this wasn't an outlier.
