As we all know, Stephen King’s novel IT was previously adapted as a miniseries in 1990. The television event became a big staple in the horror community for fans, and that’s part of why Andy Muschietti’s upcoming adaptation is so hotly anticipated.

Actor John Saxon is notable for having appeared in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street as Police Officer Donald Thompson (Nancy Thompson’s father). He later played a part throughout A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors in 1987.

And John Saxon’s treatment would have changed all of that. TheMovieWizard,…
