IT - Il pagliaccio assassino

Un essere diabolico minaccia periodicamente un paesino nel Maine, anche se nessuno crede alla sua esistenza. Nessuno, tranne un gruppetto di ragazzini sfigati che, dopo la morte del fratello di uno di loro, decide di affrontare il mostro, materializzato nella figura di Pennywise, un clown. Riescono a sconfiggerlo e a ricacciarlo nelle profondità della terra, ma quando arriva il suo momento, trent’anni dopo, Pennywise ritorna.
