Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, John Houseman and Douglas Fairbanks Jr star in this 80s horror based on the novel by Peter Straub. When four old friends, Ricky, John, Sears and Edward (Astaire, Douglas, Houseman and Fairbanks Jr), decide to get together once a week to reminisce about times in their youth - calling themselves the Chowder Society - they end up competing with each other over who can tell the most gruesome ghost stories. However, after one member of the society suddenly dies, the three survivors begin to wonder if there could be more behind his death. Could they really be the victims of a real-life ghost story?

Tommy Lee Wallace co-writes and directs this horror based on Stephen King's novel. In 1990, a group of seven childhood friends, known as The Losers Club, reunite to combat a mysterious threat which they had thought was long since buried. Lurking in the shadows, and preying on their innermost fears, a shape-shifting, supernatural predator, manifesting as a killer clown called Pennywise (Tim Curry), prepares to strike again.
