Last Updated on June 7, 2022

A few months ago, we shared the news that Pennywise: The Story of It – a documentary crafted by directors John Campopiano (Unearthed & Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary) and Christopher Griffiths (Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser) – will be released through TVOD platforms like Apple, Prime Video, Google, and VUDU, as well as on horror streaming channel Screambox, sometime this summer. Now we know that the VOD and streaming release is scheduled for July 26th, and will be preceded by a limited theatrical run that begins on July 8th! Along with this release date information comes the unveiling of a trailer for the documentary, and you can watch that in the embed above.

Pennywise: The Story of It includes

interviews with many of the key players behind Pennywise, as well as an exploration of what went into creating the It films, including casting, production, and practical effects.

Campopiano produced Pennywise: The Story of It with Gary Smart, Adam Evans, Michael Perez, and Hank Starrs. Laurence Gornall, Brady William Dorman, Michael Leavy, and Jason Leavy serve as executive producers.

Yolanda Macias, Chief Content Officer at distributor Cinedigm, provided the following statement:

From red balloons to yellow rain jackets, the groundbreaking miniseries pushed boundaries and still has a lasting impact on the genre to this day. Even three decades after its release, It and the child-eating clown Pennywise scares audiences of all ages. We are excited to take horror fans on this terrifying journey back to the not so sleepy town of Derry.”

The story of It began, of course, with the epic Stephen King novel that was first published in 1986. You can pick up a copy of the novel at THIS LINK.
