The original It miniseries from 1990 may not have the same cultural cachet as the blockbuster movies from the 2010s, but even all these years later, it’s still a better, and scarier, adaptation of Stephen King’s novel. It is one of Stephen King’s longest books and also one of his most popular. Taking place across different timelines, and even in different universes, It is a quintessential example of a horror epic, and it didn’t take long for people to consider how King’s fantastical, horrifying, and heroic story would do on screen.
