The first monster that I would like to have recognized is It from….well…It. This is the movie clown that really brought out the term Coulraphobia. This is one of the most scariest clowns of all time, and for many reasons. Not only does this monster take the form of a demented clown, he takes the form of old woman, giant spiders, zombies, and even the Wolf Man. Based upon Stephen King’s original novel, it is a force that is said to have developed in a void surrounding the universe, taking the form of the horrid Pennywise the Clown. And can you believe he is played by the same guy who plays the dragqueen in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Watch it, it’s a good movie)? Though he is demented, and somewhat dangerous, Tim Curry did a fantastic job in the TV specials, that when played all together, it’s a four hour long movie.
You don’t mess with Pennywise. This demon can rips arms off young children’s arms, use balloons filled with blood to scare the main characters of the film, and warp those who look into his eyes. Throughout the entire movie, I was getting angry. I wanted those main characters to beat the living tar out of this antagonist, but I was relieved in the end when they tore that son of a gun apart. Though he makes me angry and he is very terrifying, It is a very well thought out villain, and one of the most scary things I have ever seen in my life. Look out for his razer sharp teeth because he just might take a heeping bite out of you!
There you have it, my first installment of Halloween Fridays. Toon in next Friday, October 9th, when I will pay tribute to another movie monster. Take care
