Hey, kids, do you like clowns?

With so many creepy clowns in the news lately, the timing couldn't have been better for the high-def release of "Stephen King's It" ­(Warner, $15), the effective 1990 miniseries about a group of kids tormented by sinister happenings in their small town, led by the creepy jester ­Pennywise (Tim Curry).

Reproduced from the old DVD is the pithy commentary track that features director Tommy Lee Wallace and all of the major players, including actor John Ritter before his death.
