IT Part 1 (1990)

In 1990, the IT miniseries was limited to only the TV. IT Part 1 proved to be extremely gory with all the CGI used. The child versions of the Losers' Club members were just at par as the 2017's version as well. Tim Curry did a perfect version of Pennywise in the 1990 IT version making the playful clown look like a crazy mad man.
