Most of them are lucky, they survive and leave Derry. After twenty years, IT returns. Those who survived, now as adults, have to find child's faith and courage to face it effectively

"IT" was supposed to be King’s great farewell - not with his novel, not with his horror stories, but with a certain stage of creativity. As the author said, it was supposed to be the last novel about children and monsters. It may be difficult to believe, but it was "Bugs Bunny" that inspired the author to  write "TI" As King wrote himself, the idea for the novel came to his mind as he passed a wooden bridge over a dried stream. Then, he thought of that fairy tale and asked himself: what would happen if a troll called him under the bridge.
