This freaked me out for the longest time. I had flashbacks to the movie when I use to watch bozo the clown on TV.

The first half of the TV version was fckin scary as sh!t.
The second half? A complete joke and not scary at all.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I'm not a fan of SK's books or the movies that come from them.

I don't remember the TV version as I was 3 when it came out, but I'm excited to see Pennywise taken to the big screen
Don't go back and watch it now. I was the same as you, didn't watch it when it came out (I was 8), but read the book when I was 15 or so. Many of my friends had seen the movie as kids, and assured me it was terrifying. Wrong. It's turrible, just turrible. I'm convinced that anyone who has positive things to say about it where children when they saw it.

You've grown up in an age with much better tv production values and you have been desensitized to violence. You probably saw more violent tv from age 3 to 6 than most people my age saw from 3 to 28.

you have to remember the times...and it was still over the air (ABC) tv so I would expect a much darker film version
I read it as a teen, didn't care for anything in the movie but Tim Curry, a little, but he's way too old to be Pennywise on film

Point taken.

I'm 30 minutes into the TV version right now. 2 quick things.
1. Pennywise is still fricking creepy
2. Did not remember Seth Green was in this

This is my favorite King novel and one of the few books I give a perfect rating to.
I like to say that if there is a movie version they have to include the part where the kids make the pact...you know what part I'm talking about.

The second part when they are all adults, my favorite line was when the guy said "so did anyone bring anything useful? like a machinegun?"

You know the part I'm talking about!

Even as a made for TV movie, It was scary as frick. I can only hope the remake will be just as good. When does it come out?

Yeah I do, but I'd be fine with them leaving it out of the film.
I really enjoyed the TV version until IT's spider-ish form. That thing just looked terrible.

The thing is IT when they are adults is supposed to be their fears personified like it was when they were kids. But when you are an adult those fears are more abstract. Like death of a family member or not paying a mortgage. Your spouse cheating on your, or other things. It's hard for IT to take a form like that and still seem to be scary to an audience unless they have dealt with those things.
I promise you that any movie audience would find a way to rag on IT if the monster at the end for the adults was those different iterations of fear for each adult character as it was in the book.
