Horror Documentary Hit-Makers Return with Pennywise: The Story of IT!

I’ve started passing on fundraisers more often in recent years because it’s hard to pick a project worth giving my money to and there’s always the risk that the film will end up way below expectations. Who wants their name slathered all over a pile of dirt? With that said, Pennywise: The Story of IT is 100% worth my donation… and yours. John Campopiano is writing and producing the documentary about the infamous killer clown and his recent behind-the-scenes tell-all, Unearthed and Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary, was an absolute joy to watch. It took me through such an emotional journal with such an in-depth look at the hit Stephen King movie and I gave my stamp of approval that it is, in fact, one of the best horror film documentaries to ever hit the masses. If Pennywise: The Story of IT has even a fraction of the magic that Unearthed and Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary contains, then we’re all in for another awe-inspiring documentary.

This is a fundraiser you need to donate to. Especially with the upcoming IT remake on the horizon, now is your chance to be involved with the cult phenominan through this groundbreaking documentary. By donating, you can earn yourself exclusive pins, social media thanks, the film’s movie poster, the film’s t-shirt, DVD and Blu-ray copies of the completed documentary, and associate and producer credit. The campaign is running on IndieGogo and has already amassed 59% of its $20,000 goal with a month left of fundraising days.

Here’s an excerpt from the campaign to get you extra excited: “From Dead Mouse Productions Ltd and Cult Screenings UK Ltd, makers of Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II, You’re so cool, Brewster! The Story of Fright Night and RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop and John Campopiano, director/writer of Unearthed and Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary comes this brand-new documentary Pennywise: The Story of IT. A fully independent retrospective into the making of Stephen King’s IT and its cultural impact over the last 28 years. Supported by dozens of the original cast and crew including Tim Curry, Tommy Lee Wallace and Bart Mixon, Pennywise is made by fans of the IT for fans of IT. The crew have already received support from over 20 of the cast and crew, including acquiring over 2 hours of never-before-seen set footage from SFX wizard Bart Mixon, as well as loads of archival and behind-the-scenes photos and there is no doubt that by the time of production many more key players will be attached to share their amazing stories about one of the most iconic movies ever-made.”

Pennywise: The Story of IT is directed by Chris Griffiths with assistant director Adam Evans and production manager Mike Perez. Gary Smart will co-producer with writer John Campopiano.
