Taking the preferred form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the ancient monster is confronted and seemingly defeated in the summer of 1958 by seven outcast children known as the Losers Club. But twenty-seven years later, the cycle of violence begins again. Bound by a blood oath, the now-adult Losers must return to Derry to finish what they started, confronting their deepest childhood traumas and a cosmic horror that defies comprehension. ​Archival Preservation ​Archival Sleeve:
