Stephen King's It  Cover Image DVD DVD

Stephen King's It / the Konigsberg/Sanitsky Company and Green/Epstein Productions ; in association with Lorimar Television ; director, Tommy Lee Wallace.

Summary:

It can be anything. A fanged monster that won't stay on the movie screen. Something ominous lurking in the basement. A malevolent force in a small New England town takes the shape of a clown, but It isn't clowning around. Instead, It terrifies youngsters with their innermost fears, bringing some to their untimely doom -- until a group of wily neighborhood kids fight back. Thirty years later the evil resurfaces: meaner, angrier, deadlier. And the friends who vividly remember the terrors of their youth reunite to make a desperate stand against It.
