Stephen kings IT adaptations

 For my movie adaption research I am going to be looking at the horror movies called It this will be the book which was written Stephen king in 1986, the miniseries called Stephen kings it from the 90s, IT 2018 and IT chapter 2 from 2019. 

It is basically about an entity that can become ones greatest fears and it comes out to feed every 27 years in the town of Derry. The only people who can stop them are 4 outcasts and they need to kill the entity so it doesn't hurt anyone else's. It fails once but they come back 27 years later as adults to kill the entity once and for all. This book/movie adaptions have violence, sacrifices, scares and tension that follows these kids journeys and you will be gripped in every second. 

The book was written but Stephen king and it was very received by audiences. The book was the 22nd book in the 17th novel that he has written. The book was released to the public on the 15th September 1986. There was many reprints of the book.

This is the original cover which was released in 1986

These are the most modern covers for the book advertising the movies with the movie posters being the covers of the books.
