It is a 1990 supernatural horror TV miniseries adapted from the horror novel of the same name by American author Stephen King; while not the first miniseries adaptation of one of King's works or even the first TV adaptation (with both distinctions going to 'Salem's Lot in 1979), it is easily the most popular and enduring of the bunch. Relatively faithful to the book within the confines of broadcast television standards, the story revolves around an inter-dimensional predatory shapeshifter which has the ability to transform itself into its prey's worst fears, allowing it to exploit the phobias of its victims. It mostly takes the form of a sadistic, wisecracking clown called Pennywise. The protagonists are The Losers Club, a group of outcast kids 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 as children, and the second when they're called back as adults to defeat Pennywise, who has resurfaced.A career-defining role for Tim Curry, this miniseries scared a generation of kids (and adults) when it came out.

Age Lift: In the movie, the gap between the events is made into 30 years, instead of the book's 27. So the Losers are in their late thirties in the book and early forties in the film.

Bloodless Carnage
 It (1990) / int_135b9977
comment
Bloodless Carnage: Since this version was made for television, most of the actual deaths weren't shown in very graphic detail. Most instances in which the filmmakers were allowed to include blood took place during IT's illusions, in which it bursts from balloons, erupts from a sink, and spills from containers, but never leaves a human body or is referred to as such. The idea that it even is blood is up to audience assumption. Exception: Just before the flashback of The Losers cleaning up Beverly's bathroom, she refers to it as blood. The most notorious subversion of this trope is when Stan's dead body is shown post-suicide, there is blood all around the bathtub, his body, and the wall including a bloody IT written on it.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: IT lures his young victim Georgie closer to the dark sewers with the promise of cotton candy, balloons, carnival rides, prizes and his toy boat. Very similar to how an adult pedophile would lure their child victim into their trap with the promises of candy.

Deadly Euphemism: During his childhood, Ben has a bizarre encounter with IT, who masquerades as his late father while standing in the middle of a swamp in front of the sewer entrance, claiming that the sewers are his new home. IT gradually transforms himself into Pennywise while inviting him to come down with him to the sewers, where he will "never have to grow up".

Adapted Out
 It (1990) / int_33d5b7f2
comment
Adapted Out: Patrick Hockstetter, Adrian Mellon, Butch Bowers, The Ritual of Chud and even The Turtle are just some of the very important elements that were removed from the miniseries, likely due to the time constraints involved in adapting such an incredibly long work. Eddie's wife Myra is left out of the film and he's unmarried. He also admits that he's a virgin, which was not the case in the book because he, along with the other boys, rather notoriously had sex with Bev.

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping
 It (1990) / int_35b241c0
comment
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: While Tim Curry does a pretty solid job retaining Pennywise's gruff Brooklyn accent, his natural British accent does occasionally slip in, most noticeably during the clown's final scene ("Go! Now... for if you stay, you'll lose your little mind in my deadlights, like all the others... like all the others...") This was probably an intentional choice. At that point Pennywise was dropping the clown act and soon after reveals his ‘true’ spider form. So it may not have been Tim Curry’s accent slipping, but Pennywise’s accent and human facade.

 It (1990) / int_39a41690
comment
Adaptational Sympathy: Downplayed. Beverly's father is not implied to be sexually abusing her as he was in the source material, though he is still presented as overly-strict and it is shown that he uses physical force to discipline his daughter. He threatens to whip her for unknowingly courting a secret admirer in a manner that reeks of slut shaming, but unlike the book or the 2017 adaptation there is no indication that he's jealous of said admirer.

Like Parent, Like Spouse: Deconstructed. Beverly grew up with a nasty, abusive father who was physically violent with her if he thought she was out of line. Years later, she's married to a man who takes advantage of her emotional vulnerability and slaps her when he suspects she's visiting a "lover". Later, Beverly sadly admits to Ben how she ended up marrying someone who was just like her father.

Spared by the Adaptation: Tom Rogan, Beverly's abusive boyfriend. In the book he travels to Derry looking for her and gets possessed and later killed by IT. This is left out so presumably Tom is still alive. Eddie's mother has been dead for some years in the present, and Eddie is married to a woman just like her. Here however she's still alive and Eddie is still living with her in the present.

comment
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: In the novel, Henry's way of making Ben remember not to mess with him is to carve his name onto his stomach (he gets as a far as "H" before Ben kicks him and escapes). He does this in the miniseries as well except he never explicitly says that he's going to carve his name and it's not clear unless you've read the book that's what he intends to do. It is never explained in the film why Pennywise appears as a dog to the security guard Koontz, and can be a bit jarring and without context. In the novel, it's explained that Doberman Pinschers are the only animals that he is afraid of.

Bill is also stated to be a redhead in the novel but played by the dirty-blonde Jonathan Brandis as a kid and brunette Richard Thomas as an adult.

Dramatic Irony: After getting Mike's call, Ben remarks to his current girlfriend that killing himself might be preferable to going back to Derry. Little does he know that Stan felt similarly and would act on it. After Pennywise causes the blood in the sink, Beverly panics and tells her father. When she realizes he can't see the blood, Beverly claims she just got scared by a big spider. Technically, she was.

Demoted to Extra: Tom Rogan has a larger role in the book. After Beverly leaves him, he attacks her friend Kay to get her whereabouts. When he arrives in Derry, he's possessed by IT and kidnaps Audra into the sewers. Here that's left out and Tom disappears from the story once Beverly walks out on him. Lesser than most examples, but Stan's wife Patty gets an entire chapter from her POV detailing some of her backstory and how she met Stan. Here she only appears briefly in Stan's introductory segments.

Horrible Judge of Character: Georgie doesn't find it suspicious that Pennywise knows his name and lives in the sewer. Justified in that he's only six years old.

Shout-Out: Tim Curry seems to have based Pennywise's voice and New York accent on that of vaudeville comedian Jimmy Durante.

comment
Lighter and Softer: Because the film initially aired on network television, some of the nastier elements of the book were either downplayed or only implied. Beverly's fight with Tom is far more graphic in the book - where she ends up dropping an entire mirror on him (here he goes down when she hits him with a jar).

Cassandra Truth: Richie, after seeing Pennywise manifest himself as a werewolf in the cellar, runs upstairs to the canteen and tells everyone he's seen a werewolf. Naturally, almost all the kids laugh their butts off, while Stan, still intensely skeptical of everything that's going on, shakes his head, probably thinking Richie is making an ass of himself. The rest of the Losers' Club, however, just sit in silence as the only people who believe him.

Race Lift: Minor case. In the book Bill's wife Audra is a white American just living in the UK. Here she seems to be British, and she's also played by Argentinian actress Olivia Hussey.

Adaptation Name Change: Odd example. In the book Richie nicknames Eddie 'Eds'. In this he nicknames him 'Eddie Spaghetti' or 'Spaghetti Man'.

Reasonable Authority Figure
 It (1990) / int_dca70c44
comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Officer Nell. While he isn't thrilled about the Losers' dam project in the barrens, Nell instead focuses on a more pressing issue: the deaths and disappearances of children in Derry, warning the kids to never set out alone into the barrens or anywhere else. Nell seems to be one of the few adults in Derry who acknowledges that something is wrong and tries to help.

Adaptational Nationality: In the book Audra is an American actress who moved to the UK and has a hybrid of an English and American accent. In the film she appears to be just British.
