While Ive watched countless horror movies over the years, theres something about It that always draws me back.

I will go as far as to say it’s the scariestStephen King movieIve seen.

Heres why you should stream this absolutely terrifying but entertaining horror movie on Halloween night.

It is a genuinely frightening horror movie that packs a punch

Not familiar with this horror movie?

And then, of course, comes that iconic line from Pennywise: We all float down here.

(L to R) Jack Dylan Grazer, Jaeden Martell, Chosen Jacobs, Wyatt Oleff, Sophia Lillis, Jeremy Ray Taylor and Finn Wolfhard in “IT” (2017)

At that exact moment, I realized this movie was going straight into unsettling territory.

Its the psychological horror thatreallypacks a punch for me.

That emotional investment in the characters makes the scares hit harder and stay with you longer.

At its core, It is about the strength of friendship and courage in the face of evil.

But that doesnt make it any less perfect for Halloween.

For me, its become an annual tradition, and I never miss a re-watch every October.
