you'll float too


After 1408, IT is probably my favorite King story.
Pennywise is such a horrific protean monster, even if you don't have anything against clowns. This is the eyeless version- one of my favorites.

  2. Dunno what all the fuss is about, he looks like quite the jolly chap to me. And all this despite the handicap of what must be fairly poor eyesight.

  3. Nice, looks like the logo of a particularly creepy motorcycle gang. I remember finding the tv version quite scary as a kid, that and V.

  4. Thanks Stephen- I was looking for a kind of fun fair/ carny vibe, but motorcycle gang is good too.
    There's a remake in the offing that's getting an R rating (the book cranked the horribleness to 11, whereas the TV movie was a decent 7).
    This version of Pennywise appears in the Library and turns into a vampire with a mouth full of old razor blades that shred it's face as it taunts the poor sap there. Hmm, maybe I went a bit soft on this one....
