It
Day 27:
When I was a kid I was absolutely terrified of Pennywise yet I was so captivated by the visuals and the story that I watched (IT) over and over again until I was no longer scared of him anymore. Tim curry went from the spawn of my nightmares to the creator of my dreams, he quickly became an icon in my life from (IT) to Clue to Rocky Horror , Tim curry is just an absolute legend.
Stephen Kings books-movies had a massive impact on my life an my taste in horror movies , I always loved slow burn horror/thriller because of him, with (IT) , misery , the shining etc and I think people these days just want immediate action or they’re bored, I’m not that way. I like stories with buildup , a “trust the process” kinda story this is one of them (being 3hours long lol)
I kinda tortured my family with this movie with the amount of times I made them watch (IT) with me or just played (IT) over and over to the point where there was a high chance you’d hear pennywise’ theme song coming from my room in the middle of the night on repeat because I had fallen asleep watching (IT) lol
Me and my best friend watched this yesterday an he can tell you I practically fangirled about every scene that had pennywise in (IT), something about seeing him now that I’m older brings me a wave of nostalgia in such a proud way like I’m seeing my childhood icon for the first time again. I love just how colorful he is compared to the rest of the movie/Derry itself it makes him stand out so much more being the center of attention like he is.
Pennywise/Tim Curry will always hold a special place in my soul an that will never change for as long as I live, unless you’re one of those people who are obsessed w this movie like I am I don’t think you’d get just how much (IT) means to me (unless yk me v well)
I always related to the losers in so many ways growing up, going through similar things my whole life (minus being haunted by a cunty clown) I’ll always have a special bond with (IT) because of that.
I had such a massive crush on Jonathan Brandis when I was a kid and was devastated when I found out he passed a few years earlier (Rest in peace) he truly was one of if not my first childhood crushes. What a beautiful soul.
I blame this movie for me having such an old soul.
(Ik im yapping but i never get to express how much this movie means to me lol)
If you ever get to do an autopsy on my heart your find that (IT) has a pretty big part in there.
I love you forever Tim curry 🖤
