Quentin Tarantino once slammed Stephen King’s It as a Nightmare on Elm Street ripoff

Stephen King’s horror novel, It, came out in 1986 and tells the story of a terrifying creature that preys on children in a small town. It was originally adapted into a popular mini-series in 1990, and later received two large-scale movie adaptations in 2017 and 2019, which together earned over $1 billion at the box office.
