The year was 1990 and a TV mini-series was about to be released that would change the way many of us look at clowns forever. Based on Stephen King’s epic novel, IT was 195 minutes of friendship and fear. At times it felt like watching a more unnerving version of The Goonies but that’s the …
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise is without question the most fascinating and downright confusing series in the genre’s history.
