IT/YMMV


 * Complete Monster: There's IT obviously, but also present are Tom Rogan and Patrick Hocksetter.
 * Some say Henry and Butch Bowers qualify as well.
 * Compressed Adaptation: The movie. It's pretty hard to stuff over a thousand pages of story into a movie. Most agree that Tim Curry was memorable as Pennywise, however.
 * Everybody Remembers the Stripper:
 * Freud Was Right:
 * Fridge Logic: One could argue that the whole concept of IT is sort of an Evil Counterpart to the Christian Trinity. There's the "Father" (IT's form), the "Son" (Pennywise, who is IT in "human" form), and the Unholy Spirit (the deadlights, IT's spiritual form).
 * Foe Yay: It's movie only, but the scene where Adult Ben thinks he's kissing Beverly when it turns out to be It in drag, who then shouts "Kiss me, fat boy!"
 * Ham and Cheese: While Tim Curry's performance as Pennywise, in the movie, is viewed as pretty scary by many, he also gives it a healthy dose of this, and it is ever so glorious.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Any scene in the TV movie with Pennywise is scary, especially if you are afraid of clowns. Tim Curry did a good job at being a Monster Clown in that movie.
 * Nightmare Retardant: Whenever he goes over-the-top and silly. "Excuse me sir, do you have Prince Albert in a can? You do? Well ya better let the poor guy out! WAHA! WAHA! WAHA! WAHA!"
 * Narm: Many scenes, but "Kiss me, fat boy." is probably the narmiest.
 * Also "Why is it so mean?"
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: Pennywise is played by Tim Curry. The monster is revealed, at the end of the book to be.
 * In the scene where they find Stan's talking disembodied head in the freezer, the head nonchalantly asks "How's your sex life?"
 * Ho Yay:
 * Magnificent Bastard: Pennywise.
 * Memetic Molester: Guess.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Henry almost crosses this when he begins to carve his name into Ben's stomach with a switchblade, and then becomes a Complete Monster when he decides to murder the Losers one by one as payback for the rock fight. But just before that he crossed it when he murdered his father in his sleep with a razor IT gave him.
 * Patrick crosses it when he
 * Special Effects Failure: IT's  It looks very cheap and results in quite an Anticlimax. To be fair, the cosmic elements of the novel would be tough to replicate on the screen. The Stop-Motion effects too.
 * The Woobie: Every one of the Losers qualifies, with the possible exception of Richie.
