Seven misfit friends, bound by trauma and friendship, confront an ancient shapeshifting evil in Derry. Their unity and courage unravel dark secrets, battling their worst fears. Childhood bonds rekindle as they face the haunting entity known as IT once more.
In the novel It by Stephen King, the character Pennywise the Clown's form was inspired by serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who performed at children's parties as Pogo the Clown.
Stephen King wrote much of It in a small room in the garage of his home in Bangor, Maine.
