This movie was always on tv around Christmas, and I'd always watch it while Mom decorated and Dad put up the tree. So, for me this has always been my favorite Christmas movie.

I didn't know if this should be in the 'good' or 'bad'. It's a super long movie, and I've had trouble sitting through it, but hello memories! I don't even remember how little I was when my brothers made me watch this, and Pennywise could very well be the single scariest thing ever created. I'm scared of drains now, and think that balloons contain blood. I have one specific memory of watching this with my sister, my dad was cleaning the house and all the lights were on. The two of us were playing and jumping on the couch. There's this part at the end where an eyeball or something pops out of a roll or something. My sister startings screaming so loud and fell off the couch.
