It

In Derry, Maine, there is a monster that takes the shape of whatever you're afraid of, and kills/eats kids. It soon targets seven friends - Bill, Ben, Eddie, Beverly, Mike, Richie, and Stan - after killing Bill's little brother, Georgie. Eventually the kids kill IT, but thirty years later (twenty-seven in the book by Stephen King), IT comes back to Derry. Mike, the only one of the seven who stayed in Derry, calls the six others to come back and kill IT (they took an oath to after they first killed IT), and all come but Stan (who kills himself) to finish off IT once and for all.

Continuity mistake: When they are in the library after they found out Stan committed suicide, it shows Beverly stand up but when it cuts back to her she is sitting down and stands up.

Trivia: When the adults walk into the library, you'll see some of Bill's books on display (Bill is described as the Stephen King character), and all of Bill's books (Whether it's the name, topic, or cover picture) are based in some way on Stephen King's books. For instance - The Glowing/The Shining.

More trivia for It

Question: In the scene at the rock pile when the book comes to life and Pennywise says, "I'll kill you all. I'll drive you crazy and I'll kill you all", these words don't at all match whatever words his mouth is actually forming. It's so obvious. This is an audio dub to replace whatever he's supposed to be saying in the book. Does anybody have any idea what happened here?

Answer: In the only version I know his lips movement matches what is being said. Not sure what you mean, check out the scene at youtube.

Answer: I think you're mistaking Tim Curry's distinctive way of speaking as Pennywise with him being dubbed. He curls the corners of his mouth as he talks which makes his mouth look like he's saying something else. The only other film I can remember him doing something similar in is The Shadow, he kind of talks with the same mannerisms.
