NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!

Do you have any idea how traumatised I was by the TV movie. That thing was largely responsible for my current fear of clowns

I will not be watching it. I have a rather bad history with it!

After my Father died, my half-sister gave me the book to read. Read it travelling between my mothers house as our own, in the car, up to the funeral.

Re-read it, Michael died.

Got the video of the film, Mother died.

Bit of a curse for me really!

OMG! That's awful!

I'm still scared of Tim Curry - and clowns in general. However, I can't deny that I loved the story.

[hils.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed the book more than the film. Must be a visual thing.

[tyffi.livejournal.com]

It's all because of John-Boy. *nods* He was really annoying in the film.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hah! Yes, he was!

[awehla.livejournal.com]

Creepy.

*lol* I loved that book, and the series when I was younger. Never got any fear of clowns though. I'm curious as to what they'll do with the stuff.

[hils.livejournal.com]

I didn't find the book so scary. Just the movie.

[bev-crusher1971.livejournal.com]

*nods* Tim Curry was awesome!!!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Awesome in a terrifying way

[soupyfirefly.livejournal.com]

Noes!!! It is soooo scary. I hated the book anyway but the film was even worse. -joins you under the bed-

I doubt that the new Pennywise will be as good - and creepy - as Tim Curry.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Almost certainly not but I don't plan on finding out

I'm glad it wasn't just me who got seriously creeped out by Pennywise. He is responsible for my dislike of clowns, and probably the reason I didn't read Stephen King for the best part of a decade. I recall reading the book when I was about 12 or 13. It must have taken me the best part of a year to get through it.

BTW petzipellepingo, that icon is just the right amount of spooky. I like it.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Funnily enough I devoured the book. I think I read it twice in a year when I was about 13. The film though...*shudders*

[ego-chan.livejournal.com]

Oh god. Clowns are terrifying....

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are

[rosebud81.livejournal.com]

Ooooh!! I think the tv movie is fun. I just read the book and there's SO MUCH more to it. I hope they make a good film. :)

Fun in a terrifying way?

It really isn't that scary. When did you last watch it? The effects are pretty crap.

The book actually creeped me out more.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! To be fair I haven't watched it since I was a kid. I don't think I'd want to watch it again now

[rosebud81.livejournal.com]

That was me btw, lol

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! I was wondering!

[rockgoddes.livejournal.com]

OMG! How wild!

The book is one of my most favourites ever, and the I **LOVED** the miniseries! I used to put it on as background noise when rockgod jr was an infant, from the tapes I made from when it aired, and now I have the DVD to watch whenever I want!

But I agree, no way will they find anyone creepier than Tim Curry for Pennywise...they should just get him to reprise the role and be done with it.

I used to put it on as background noise when rockgod jr was an infant,
OMG! I am suddenly terrified. LOL!

[drbillbongo.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Well, I know for sure I'm not going to watch that.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Me neither!
