Stephen king's IT

thinking about the reason why I chose to do clowns I think it is all down to this film the reason being I saw this film as a child with my younger sister and of course scared the hell out if us, I mean come on killer clown! re-watching the film as a adult its still scary but not as scary as I remember it :/ the clown penny wise is the main character played by Tim Curry the colours in the film change from bright to dark quite a few times in duration of the film which I think creates more suspense.
