The case for each

It: Andy Muschietti's 2017 adaptation of Stephen King's novel: the Losers' Club of Derry, Maine, against Pennywise the clown, played by Bill Skarsgård. The highest-grossing horror film ever on release.

The Conjuring: James Wan's 2013 haunted-house story, based on the files of ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren. Old-fashioned scares instead of gore, and the start of the Conjuring universe.
