Sounds good. I might have to check it out. I haven't read any King recently. He's one of the greatest American novelists.
Stephen King's IT is the greatest horror story ever written IMO...

since i dont believe in the supernatural, it is harder for me to feel any palpable fear in movies about ghosts, whereas threats based on things that are grounded at least partially in more natural occurrences are more disturbing to me.
that being said, when executed well, any horror movie is a good one to me. the exorcist is still great even though i never feel any type of way when it comes to demonic possession. the depiction of the "monster", the acting, the script, the directing are firing on all cylinders

Nice. I know the remake has been in the works for a while. Hopefully they'll do a better job this time around. Although I still think the 1st one was great, it didn't do that much justice to the book.
Specially when Stan met the dead kids at the water tower. They skipped that part and replaced it with Stan meeting the mummy. But when Stan met the dead kids at the water tower, that was scary as shyt!!!

Actually, I was just looking at some Wikipedia information about the IT novel and apparently that whole incident with the gay guy comes from a true story.

The IT book is crazy. Top 5 stephen king. I read it every 5 years or so. Definitely needs to be filmed as a 10-13 part miniseries. You could still do it on cable and get away with most of the violence and language (except the Bev train 
). I guess two 2.5 hour movies would be ok if they are done well.
Agree with others though that The Stand is my favorite King book. They had a good idea doing it as a tv miniseries but I just cant get into it. The casting is too far off from what i imagined when i read the book. Everyone is too young or too old for the parts and it was mostly cheesy. Cant wait for a remake of that too.

never read IT because it seemed dense as shyt, but yall are in here saying The Stand is MORE exhausting? i read that book in like 2 weeks, shyt had me 
do you think knowing the story already would make the book less entertaining to read?
