Mistakes

Factual error: During the opening scene in 1988, a silver TV from the late 90's/early 00's is in the living room/dining room area. (00:02:10)

Suggested correction: There were several TVs similar to the one pictured in 1988. A quick Google search of "TV's available in 1988" will tell you this. Without knowing the manufacturer or model of the TV, you cannot state this as a movie mistake. If it was a LCD TV in 1988 then yes but, this one, no you can't assume this TV was not available.

Questions

Question: Why does this version of Pennywise look so scary as opposed to Tim Curry's version? Tim's version looks harmless enough that children would definitely go up to him but Bill's version would certainly have scared a child even today.

Answer: It's a matter of artistic choice to create a different look and mood from its predecessor. The filmmakers of the new movie made Pennywise more overtly malevolent, whereas the Tim Curry version portrayed the character as benevolent looking to hide an evil interior, and be able to more easily gain children's trust..

Answer: Artistic choice, and (directly or indirectly) being more faithful to the original novel. Pennywise's appearance in this film is almost an exact replica of the book's descriptions, with a 19th century style added to it, and some minor changes.

Answer: Spoiler for IT: Welcome to Derry - Pennywise is revealed to have killed and taken the form of a carnival clown named Bob Gray in 1908, specifically because children attending the carnivals were drawn to him.
