'Down here, they ALL float, Georgie...'

I present you with three facts.

1.)Tim Curry is scary.

2.)Clowns are scary.

3.)Tim Curry dressed as a clown, is absolutely terrifying.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tim Curry, but no matter how many times I see 'Clue' or 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show', on some level, I'm seeing him as I first did, as Pennywise the Clown.

I was five or six, and staying at my neighbor Abby's house and her mom turned on the movie 'It'. See, she was one of those cool moms who let her little kid watch horror movies on network t.v. and my mom...well, let's just say that before that night, the scariest thing I had ever been permitted to see was 'Ernest Scared Stupid' (Ironic that I was allowed to watch that one, considering that's the only movie that's EVER given me nightmares, I still can't bear to watch it to this day!).

I sat in Abby's living room, and just stared at the t.v. I watched with a sort of sick facination, disgusted, scared, amused and intrigued all at once. I liked this new genre of film that was being presented to me, and thus began the obsession with horror.

From there on in, instead of borrowing movies like 'Bambi' and 'Snow White' from friends and family members, I begged to be allowed to watch 'Nightmare On Elm Street', 'Deadly Friend' and anything else that had a ghoulish picture on the cover. I didn't get to, of course, but the thirst was there. As soon as I could read, I started to spend alot of time in the horror section of the video store or library, reading the backs of video cases trying to imagine just what the film that case held would be like to watch.

The fact that my growing interest in the genre went against my mother's grain only made it more appealing...I liked being able to mention a movie title that I wanted to see and watch her eyes get big as saucers.

What can I say, I was a mean kid...that and she really needed to loosen up, which she has, over the years, not to the point where she'll watch horror movies with me (with the express exception of the Evil Dead series, mostly 'cause she loves Ash just as much as I do) but she understands the attraction to the genre now and leaves me to it.

Alright..so if you're still reading this far down into the description, you deserve a cookie, cause this is probably the longest one I've ever written.

On to more technical stuff, he's got his little balloon, the newspaper boat and stands as the only emote in the series thus far to get a background of some sort. It's a sewer grate with rainwater. He's also the only one who doesn't come with blood o.o!! I picked this scene, because it's my favorite in the movie, and in the book. If you've read the book and haven't seen the movie, go rent it, and if you've seen the movie, and haven't read the book, go read it.

I was convinced to do a series of Horror movie inspired emoticons by 'cause she loved the Freddy Krueger one so much. More will come along some time, as I get inspired. I'm hoping to eventually do all my favorite Horror film icons and a few that I don't like for a nice little rounded out collection.
