The Portland Phoenix has a great story titled "Deal With IT." In this piece Christopher Gray shared why the mini-series was so frightening.
.
Now, I liked this because while I liked the mini-series, even as a teen I thought it was kind of cheap. But Gray points out that the real terror in it is the use of common objects. Note:
.
"An abridged list: fortune cookies, sewers, basements, tea, sinks, balloons, boys’ locker rooms, showers, Beethoven’s “Fur Elise,” outdoor clothes hangers, stuttering, spiders, paper boats, gas stations, playing cards, photo albums. In It — available on DVD! — these things are all as much villains as Pennywise is."
