A new documentary recently dropped on Bloody-Disgusting’s streaming service SCREAMBOX titled Pennywise: The Story of It. The doc explores the making of Stephen King’s classic 1990 mini-series. That was one of my favorite shows to watch as a kid. I recorded that thing on VHS and watched it over and over again for years!
We have some rare never-before-seen behind-the-scenes photos to share with you today from the set of the wonderfully terrifying mini-series. Those photos feature the cast and crew including Tim Curry as Pennywise The Clown. Damn… he was so awesome in that role! Other cast members include Richard Thomas and Seth Green, along with director Tommy Lee Wallace and special effects makeup artist Bart Mixon.
Thirty-plus years after its release, the popular two-part miniseries IT and its infamous villain live on in the minds of horror fans around the world. Pennywise: The Story of IT, which is co-directed by John Campopiano (Unearthed & Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary) and Christopher Griffiths (Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser) and produced by Gary Smart (Dark Ditties Presents), captures not only the spark the IT saga created when it was released but also the lasting impact it has had on an entire generation and the horror genre at large.
Several years in the making, the film features exclusive interviews with many of the cult classic’s key players, from cast members Richard Thomas, Seth Green, and Tim Curry, who portrayed the notorious monster clown Pennywise, to director Tommy Lee Wallace and special effects makeup artist Bart Mixon.
The documentary also boasts a wealth of archival material and never-before-seen footage.
Check out the trailer for the doc below along with the collection of photos that were shared by Bloody-Disgusting.
