IT is one of the longest of Stephen King\u2019s novel and one of the strangest. We watched the 2017 movie version when our daughter, Megan, was home over the holidays. During the movie, we frequently referenced The Stephen King Illustrated Companion, <\/em> a Christmas gift Megan gave me, and discovered that the seed for this story was planted when King was working on The Stand. <\/em><\/p>\n

He and his family were living in Boulder, Colorado then and their car, an AMC Matador, needed to be picked up at the garage where it was being repaired. Rather than calling a cab, King decided to walk the three miles to the dealership. He eventually ended up on a narrow, unlit road at twilight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was aware of how alone I was. About a quarter of a mile along this road was a wooden bridge, humped and oddly quaint, spanning a stream,\u201d he wrote in a Book-of-the-Month Clun News in 1986. I walked across it. I was wearing cowboy boots with rundown heels, and I was very aware of the sound they made on the boards; they sounded like a hollow click.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead of thinking about the character from The Stand<\/em> in whose life he was wrapped up at the time, he thought of the story of Billy Goats Gruff, the troll who says, \u201cWhose that trip-trapping on my bridge?\u201d From that point, the entire story \u201cjust bounced into my mind on a pogo-stick.\u201d And it wasn\u2019t just the characters that he got, but the \u201csplit time frame, the accelerated bounces that would end in a complete breakdown, which might result in a feeling of \u2018no time,\u2019 all the monsters that were one monster\u2026the troll under the bridge, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview with Douglas E Winter in The Art of Darkness, (<\/em>NAL, 1984), King said, \u201cThe book is the summation of everything I have done and learned in my whole life to this point. Every monster that ever lived is in this book.\u201d<\/p>\n

King was 37 years old.<\/p>\n

In the story, the number 27 appears frequently. So here are some synchros: This film was released 27 years after the original 1990 television mini-series. In the book, it is mentioned that “It” returns to Derry approximately every 27 years. Jonathan Brandis, who played young Bill in the original IT film, died at the age of 27. The movie was released a month after the 27th<\/sup> birthday of Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd<\/a>, who played Pennywise the clown. The official US release date was 9\/8\/2017. 9+8+2+0+1+7 = 27.<\/p>\n

As a writer, I\u2019m intrigued by King\u2019s use of multiple viewpoints in the novel \u2013 7 altogether, and we see these viewpoints when the characters are kids, and when they\u2019re adults. But in this version of IT the movie, everything is told from the kids\u2019 point of view. In the planned sequel, the story will be told by their adult selves 27 years later.<\/p>\n
