Based on Stephen King's acclaimed novel, both IT and its sequel IT: Chapter Two is one hell of a horror series you shouldn't miss. A film that I was on the edge of my seat almost all time or maybe I have a phobia of the clown, to say the least. IT film series revolves around a group of seven children living who are traumatized by the spooky antagonist which is a cosmic evil and yes literally a scary clown named Pennywise that preys upon their life. This evil returns to haunt the children every 27 years and we see him coming back for them in the sequel. I could never watch this one alone..

The movie revolves around the character of  Michael Myers who commits the murder of his sister, Judith Myers. Fifteen years he turns to an absolute psychopath who hides his face behind a mask and kills the people of Haddonfield. Binge-watch this thrilling series at your own risk.
