I'm aiming for a back to back double feature of Salem's Lot and IT on Wednesday. IT had such 5 star potential and the second half was just too flat.

Yeah that 2nd half always brings down the first half. Even in the new versions. I think it's the book that really got the trope going that "King can't write endings", or it's at least the flagship example. I like that King makes fun of himself about it though.

I haven't read the book but I imagine the ending of the book was at least better than the ending of the movie.

Aka let's remake The Exorcist without calling it The Exorcist, directed by Homer from Near Dark.

I'd give that nod to Beyond the Door, as well.

How true to the book was the ending of the TV movie?
