About this event
Screening as part of STAB! The Master of Horror unleashes everything you were ever afraid of. In 1990, ABC presented a two-night TV miniseries event, based on Stephen King’s 1986 novel of the same name, written by Lawrence D. Cohen and directed by Tommy Lee Wallace. The series went on to become perhaps one of the greatest TV Horror Adaptations of all time. Set in 1960, seven outcast kids known as “The Losers’ Club” fight against an ancient shape-shifting alien who poses as a child-killing clown, while also dealing with bullies and abusive parents. Thirty years later, they reunite to stop the creature once and for all when it returns to their hometown. It was, at the time, total nightmare fodder fun. IT, which was later released in a popular two-tape VHS set, featured the iconic Tim Curry as an indelibly humoured version of the killer clown. Now CULTPLEX brings IT to the big screen! Schedule: Part 1: 15:00 - 16:36 Break Part 2: 17:00 - 18:36 This screening is 18+ and the film will begin at the advertised time above. Content Warnings: moderate violence, intense psychological terror involving children in peril, supernatural gore (such as gushing supernatural blood), severe bullying and suicide references.
