The premise
Thirty-plus years after its release, the popular two-part miniseries "It" and its infamous villain Pennywise live on in the minds of horror fans around the world. This documentary captures not only the buzz the "It" saga generated in 1990 but also the lasting impact it has had on an entire generation and the horror genre at large. Several years in the making, the film features exclusive interviews with many of the cult classic's key players, from cast members Richard Thomas, Seth Green, and Tim Curry, who portrayed the notorious monster clown Pennywise, to director Tommy Lee Wallace and special effects makeup artist Bart Mixon. The documentary also boasts a wealth of archival material and never-before-seen footage.
Horror Vault's take
Decades after terrorizing living rooms across America, the 1990 TV miniseries 'It' and its rubber-nosed nightmare Pennywise get the loving retrospective treatment they deserve. Featuring candid interviews with cast members, the director, and special effects artists gathered over several years of production, this documentary peels back the curtain on how a made-for-television production became a generational horror landmark. Rare archival footage and never-before-seen material give even die-hard fans fresh reasons to revisit the story of Derry's most infamous resident.
