I think King said the clown element came from John Wayne Gacy.

Also there was a gay-bashing murder contributed to the opening too.

Edit: ^^^ Yep, that one.

Not much we didn't see in the first one. The dynamic among the kids ]seems good though. Also the echoing laugh in the tunnels is creepy.

Maybe somebody pointed this out already, but the theater in Derry has Batman on the marquee. Not only does it have another killer clown, but it came out on June 23, 1989.

My favorite part of the movie was Pennywise using a severed arm to wave at Mike with a big rear end grin on his face. The lady next to me was not amused when I laughed at the shot..

Mine too. I was the only one in the theater laughing. Somebody in front of me turned around to give me the stink eye. It's so loving over the top macabre I couldn't handle it.

Just realized something...

When Georgie goes down to the basement to get the wax he's scared of something he sees on the shelf, but it turns out to just be 3 light bulbs.

The whole movie is kids being scared of something that is really just 3 'dead lights.'

IT is just the flamboyant cousin of Jeepers Creepers

FWIW, you're on to something...

The guy who wrote and directed Jeepers Creepers was convicted of sexually abusing a child actor from his earlier slasher film Clownhouse.

Enticement, predation, clowns, murder, human monsters, child victims... There's some uncomfortable overlap there.

Victor Salva is the creep's name, btw.

I just read on the AV Club the creepy-rear end soundtrack from the miniseries is getting released on vinyl.
