Original IT Cast To Reunite For 30th AnniversaryWarner Bros. Television Distribution

The cast of 1990’s IT are reuniting for the miniseries’ 30th anniversary.

Before Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise terrorised today’s generation of movie-goers, Tim Curry latched onto our nightmares with his petrifying take on the Stephen King shapeshifter.

Thanks to The Rocky Horror Picture Show actor’s unforgettable performance, the two-part ABC miniseries became legendary. To celebrate its 30th birthday, the cast are getting back together.

Losers Club 1990 ITABC

As part of October’s all-virtual Salem Horror Fest, the original Losers Club are reuniting to discuss various stories from production, how the miniseries affected their lives and growing up with King’s literature.

So far, as per Consequence of Sound, confirmed guests include Marlon Taylor (Mike Hanlon), Brandon Crane (Ben Hanscom), Ben Heller (Stanley Uris), Adam Faraizl (Eddie Kasprak) and Emily Perkins (Beverly Marsh).

The panel will be hosted by The Losers’ Club: A Stephen King Podcast and writer-director John Campopiano (Pennywise: The Story of IT). It’s currently unknown whether Curry will make an appearance. The festival kicks off on October 1, lasting until October 11. The exact date of the panel hasn’t been revealed.

The original IT miniseries makes for a fun rewatch now, particularly in a post-Skarsgård world. It’s pretty cheesy, the visual effects are questionable and the ending… well, it’s memorable, that’s for sure.

While it never shied away from the raw fear factor of Pennywise – the shot of Curry’s clown peering through the flapping bed sheets gave me nightmares – Andy Muschietti’s 2017 film upped the bloody ante.

‘Chapter One’ became the highest-grossing horror movie of all time, raking in nearly $702 million at the box office. Its sequel was also impressive, making more than $473 million.

1990’s IT is available on DVD, Blu-Ray and on-demand on Amazon Prime.

ABC7/Nicole Lillig Klosowski/Twitter Police are investigating an ‘act of vandalism’ after a Black Lives Mural outside of Chicago was defaced to read ‘All Lives Matter’.  Authorities in Oak Park, a village near the Illinois city, said the incident took place overnight from Tuesday, July 7, into the following morning. The mural, nearly 100ft in width and located near Oak Park and River Forest High School, had only been painted two weeks ago. While police have yet to make any arrests connected with the vandalism, officers have ‘gathered evidence they hope will identify’ those responsible. Someone vandalized the BLM street painting in Oak Park, two blocks from my home. In this village people pride themselves on their openness to and respect for diversity. Clearly some who live here don’t place much importance in that, which is pretty fucking sad pic.twitter.com/VFJsj7pnbq — Peter Barber (@PeterBarber_sez) July 8, 2020 After a portion of the mural with the word ‘Black’ was cover

Scientists Believe The Moon Is Now Rusting

Unsplash The Moon’s surface has started to turn red, leading scientists to believe the planet may be rusting.  Rust – or iron oxide – is created when iron comes into contact with water and oxygen; two things the moon does not have. This has left the researchers at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) who obtained the data puzzled as to how it has been created. PA Images A reddish-black mineral form of iron called hematite has been discovered to be forming, especially near the Moon’s poles, which is giving it this unique colouring. Lead author of the paper detailing the discovery is Shuai Li of the University of Hawaii, who described the findings ‘very puzzling’. He added that ‘the Moon is a terrible environment for hematite to form in’. Li then turned to JPL scientists Abigail Fraeman and Vivian Sun to see if they could help. In a statement to NASA , Fraeman said: At first, I totally didn’t believe it. It shouldn’t exist based on the conditions present on the Moon. But sin
