It is a 1990 miniseries based on Stephen King's novel of the same name. The story revolves around an inter-dimensional predatory life-form that is referred to as Pennywise, which has the ability to transform itself into its prey's worst fears allowing it to exploit the fears and phobias of its victims, while also disguising itself when hunting. The main protagonists are "The Losers Club", or "The Lucky Seven", a group of social outcasts who discover Pennywise and vow to destroy him by any means necessary. The series takes place over two different time periods, the first when the Losers first... discover Pennywise, and the second when they're called back to defeat Pennywise, who has resurfaced. Pennywise mostly takes the form of a sadistic, wisecracking clown called "Pennywise the Dancing Clown", The characters in the mini series refer to the demon as Pennywise as it mostly comes in the form of "Pennywise the Dancing Clown." It aired as a two-part television movie on November 18 and November 20, 1990 on ABC, and loosely follows the plot of the novel. The miniseries was filmed in New Westminster, British Columbia in late 1989.
