A few weeks back I let you guys know that PENNYWISE: THE STORY OF IT aka the upcoming retrospective documentary on the 1990 miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's IT had set up an all-or-nothing IndieGoGo campaign. Today, I am happy to share the news that the project was a success and the film has reached its funding goal!

This means we will all be getting our own look at the 4-hour plus documentary sometime soon, hopefully. Until then the filmmakers are not stopping at the initial goal and with 7 days left in the project's campaign, they have added some awesome new perks – including a signed photo by Tim Curry!

You can head over to the film's official IndieGoGo page and grab up one of the amazing new perks – and/or your copy of the finished film – right HERE! You can also follow the flick on Facebook HERE.

Let us know how excited you are for the documentary on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!
