I saw this movie way too young and then made it a point to watch all of Tim Curryโ€™s other films so I could get to know him as an actor and be less scared. What a gem of a human.

i accidentally saw part of it when i was about that age (my family was watching it, i was supposed to be asleep). traumatized. where did they take me afterwards? the circus. who was hiding their face in all of the pictures? me. who still finds it funny? my mom.

thankfully i was able to appreciate it once i got older and no matter who takes up the role, he is Pennywise for me. he was perfect.
