Old gas stations

I never eat or drink anything at the movies; I hate having to get up in the middle of a flick to go pee...I'm afraid I'll miss something, lol.

Life’s too short not to have a grand time!
Take an empty tennis can next time.
I take several when I’m on the road!

Don’t you dare say it with these cans!

The "Hofbrau Garden," huh? Somehow I doubt that's Berlin.

Well, technically, Munich.... but not there, either.

The Sohio station sure brings back memories. "Boron, with Ice Guard(TM). You go, or Sohio pays the tow!"

Like it or hate it, there is definitely a whole lot of styling going on just in the back alone.

You got the job kid... but on condition you wear the helmet at all times!

This was spooky as a kid!


Except for Emmett Kelly, most clowns
used to scare the heck out of me!

My sister’s dolls were a nightmare,
especially around October!

1990.

I enjoyed mostly the scenes when they ride a vintage Schwinn.

I noticed long ago that clown makeup, the traditional setup as above, makes it almost impossible to tell who's under it. It's as good as a mask, and it completely obscures the lines of the face as camouflage does the outline of a body. There's an early Mission: Impossible where both Barney (Greg Morris) and Dan (Steven Hill) wear clown makeup, and it is hard to tell them apart with just a glance.

Oh, and as a trivia note, King revisits the town of Derry, Maine (the setting for It) in his recent novel 11/22/63, with two of the kids from the earlier novel (Beverly is one), set a few years before the early events in It.

The character of Bill Denbrough rides one in the new 2017 movie, too.
