I'm quite suprised none you guys who read the book mentioned what It was in the book compared to the movie, because in the movie, you never get to see his true form. (I guess it would have taken too much money for the special effects, since it would need to be a really big thing. And i don't know if the technology back then would even make it worth it.)

On screen the guy has 3 forms: Pennywise the clown, all the other monster/creatuse/killer beasts and finally the spider. While in the book, he has four. The fourth is his real one. It is anything but a typical horror slobbery-drooly-sharpteethed-childreneting snarling beast (actually, it's not a beast at all. Not even a "monster") but still awe inspiring. In other words, you still drop you jaw when you imagine it... because it is B-I-G! :D

And one more thing... i can't imagine anyone would even consider putting anything like that in any mainstream movie at all... the movie drops one of the most bizzare and big moralist hairraising scenes that were ever written by king in any of his books. It makes you kinda wonder what kinda bad shit the guy was on when writing that chapter. (yes, for the bookworms, the scene when the kids lose their way when searching for a way out of the sewers)

And no, i won't tell what it is. And not what It looks like on the outside for real either :) Go read the book instead, you won't regret it.
