It: Chapter One Never Fully Explains The Movie’s Most Horrifying Scene

It: Chapter One includes many scenes that could give viewers nightmares, but one of the most horrifying moments is especially impactful because the movie never fully explains it. Stephen King is one of the most prolific horror authors of the past century, and few of his stories have received as much love as the 1986 book It. The story was first adapted for the big screen in a 1990 miniseries, starring Tim Curry as Pennywise. The story wouldn't be touched for another 27 years, which is roughly the amount of time that the shapeshifting alien goes to sleep between attacks.
