Storyline
During a heavy rainstorm in Derry, Maine in the spring of 1960, Georgie Denbrough plays in the streets with a paper sailboat made by his stuttering older brother Bill. While looking through Mike’s history scrapbook, the Losers realize that Pennywise, whom they refer to as It, is not a human being but rather a demon who awakens every thirty years to murder and devour children.
