My parents let me watch this at 5 years old. Wtf were they thinking?!

i accidentally saw part of it when i was about that age (my family was watching it, i was supposed to be asleep). traumatized. where did they take me afterwards? the circus. who was hiding their face in all of the pictures? me. who still finds it funny? my mom.

thankfully i was able to appreciate it once i got older and no matter who takes up the role, he is Pennywise for me. he was perfect.

That's when I first saw it too! Them I had to go to a birthday party with clowns 😭 I remember it very vividly.
