The best part is that I found several versions of that "headlock" still, each taken from a separate frame. Every frame had BJ grinning in a goofy fashion except for juuust one, which gave the impression that Otho was about to have his neck ripped out by Pennywise. I didn't even have to make a decision; I think it just appeared on my workspace once I saw it.
And yeah, that mid-70s shock-schlock horror feeling was what I was going for. Just a little bit after the Hammer Films heyday, almost along the lines of the incomprehensible Italian gore that came in around that time as well. I'd toyed with giving the film an Italian subtitle, but figured "T.W. Burton" was enough of a digression.
