Which is scarier, It 1990 or It 2017?

It's subjective, but many find the 2017 version scarier due to gore, modern effects, and Bill Skarsgård's more sinister Pennywise, while the 1990 miniseries is often seen as creepier for its psychological dread and Tim Curry's iconic performance, though some find the original less frightening now due to dated effects and music.
