Stephen King's It: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

A creature from beyond the stars can take on the shape of your worst fear... or a clown, because everyone loves clowns. Every 27 years the creature--It--emerges from hibernation to feed on children. But seven children stopped It during its last cycle. Now It is back, and the children who had the power of faith and imagination are 27 years older... and may be easy prey.
