Stephen King's IT

Submitted by Enigmawriter on May 3, 2006 - 11:52pm. books | publishers | Stephen King

Wow, I am reading a book from Stephen King titled, IT. I know, I know, it's an old book and there is a movie out. But I just got to say that this book is creepy. The movie didn't even come close to the book. I am still reading it, and I am almost done.

If anyone has read it, the part that was cool was the Paul Bunyan scene and the smoke hole scene. There are more too, and the clown, man oh man, the clown looks totally different in the book and scarier.

For those that like this book, feel free to give your thoughts on it. Also, for those that have not read IT, Go ahead and read it, it might inspire your creative juices if you're a writer, that is.

Also, I met Stephen King and he's awesome. That's all I gotta say about that.

Stephen King's 'It'

Submitted by myspaceoryours on May 4, 2006 - 7:46am.

I was so freaked out when this movie came out on TV... I had nightmares just from watching the commercial. Years later, I finally saw the movie and it took me YEARS before I could close my eyes in the shower for more than a second without being terrified that Pennywise would come out through the shower drain. :(

But with that said... I love Stephen King...his books, his movies, even his pop culture column in Time... he's a genius in my book and probably the reason that I love horror films now.

I first saw IT the movie when I rented it in 93, I think. Well, it was late at night, and I had almost finished watching the first part of the vhs tape when my mom shouted out the window. I paused the video, went to check my mom out and she tells me that she saw someone hiding on the roof of the neighbors house.

We locked the doors and went outside where everyone was yelling at the kid who was on the neighbors roof. He fell down through a hole and found a large knife to defend himself. Well, he was drugged out badly. Then someone shot his gun in the air and I swear that I felt a bullet ricochet nearby me. Then the cops came and arrested the kid. My dad and my brother had just come from my aunts and they saw the commotion and started throwing rocks up the roof to get the kid down, before the cops came.

And that's all I gotta say about that.
