Was traumatized by the IT movie IT as a 7yr old, but heard it was an amazing coming of age story. Should I face my fear and read it? (No Spoilers please!)

Hey all :) I’ve recently gotten back into Stephen King and I’m really excited to get back into it all. The Stand is my favorite book of all time, and I read several other books by him like Pet Sematary, The Shining, a few of the Dark Tower books, and recently now Salem’s Lot.

WhenI was 7, I had a bad friend who told me IT was a comedy movie, turns out I was the exact demographic of the kids murdered in that movie. To this day I don’t watch horror movies (though I read some horror books, mostly Stephen King)

It seems like it may be a slight challenge but also triumphant in reading IT, and I’ve always identified with my memories of those characters.

I’m curious if my story with IT is oddly in line with the narrative of the characters lol I don’t know the conclusion of the story, but if it’s about overcoming your fears and has a somewhat triumphant ending, I think I want to read it :)

(I’ve heard of the weird scene people have talked about lol, but I more meaning related to pennywise and all of that)
