OVERALL: Draw

Only minor language differences.

Note, the original aspect was 4:3 (as it was a TV movie) and these presentations have been cropped at the top & bottom.

Also note that the DVD includes a cut version of this originally 2-part miniseries to make it one long film (see below). Information on the differences can be found at Movie-Censorship.

exist:

(1.) Uncut 2-part broadcast version.

(2.) The compilation home video version found on the DVDs and BDs. Has the following cuts:

At the end of part 1:
Stan’s wife finds that he has slit his wrist in the bathtub and starts to scream, the scream is cut off abruptly and therefore also the final showing of "IT" written in the blood on the bathroom wall, accompanied by Pennywise laughing and “to be continued” along with the end credits.

Part 2:
Starts with Bill arriving at the Derry cemetery. This completely cuts out his arrival at the hotel, the conversation with the woman at the desk, a short scene in his hotel room, the full ride in a taxi to the cemetary along with the opening credits.
