Trivia Jim Norman says "27 years ago they killed Wayne". Pennywise also comes back every 27 years in the novel IT by Stephen King. See more »
Goofs The headstones of Richard, Vinny, and North show that they all are born in 1946/47 and died in 1963 - making them 16/17 at the time. Wayne's headstone shows that he is born on the 15th of January 1948, which makes him only about 1 year younger than the evil trio. However Wayne looks like he is at least 10 years younger than any of the three kids. See more »
