I just looked over the list of adaptations and besides the 2-3 that I haven't seen I didn't hate any of them. Stand By Me and Shawshank Redemption are two excellent films. Others like Cujo, Cats Eye, Creepshow 2, and It, and The Shining haunted me as a kid. They all had elements that terrified me. To this day I can't watch that scene in Cujo where that kid flips out and won't stop screaming. Creepshow 2 had the Raft with that damn slime monster. Let's just say you won't see me swimming up to objects floating around in a lake. Tim Curry as Pennywise is one of the best monsters ever.
I have faith in Ron Howard. I just want to see this movie made. It's cool that he's thinking ahead and planning out a TV series as a continuation.
