Since the time period is different, the disturbing creatures seen, have changed as well.
As a matter of fact, according to Rosie Fletcher, "The monsters in King's novel were based in the pop culture of the '50s. There were classic movie monsters like a werewolf, the mummy, Gill-Man, and Frankenstein's Monster." Unlike the movie, the dancing clown shape shifts into the kid's greatest fears. Showing that the only way for The Loser Club to stop the shape shifting demon was to overcome their

With Muschietti’s “IT.” audience’s worst fears are unleashed, manifested on the silver screen, then fully realized by a clown who dwells within the sewer system of a small town in Derry, Maine, where kids have disappeared at alarming rates. With all this to say, it is up to seven children known as The Losers Club, to figure out the town’s curse while confronting their own fears, home life, bullies and the evil force that feeds on fear by taking the shape of a clown known as Pennywise, the dancing clown. Nonetheless, the reboot of “IT,” receives King’s stamp of approval — a tall task considering King has notoriously decried almost every adaptation of
