Assembling my own edit for IT, I've found at least seven cues that are different in the film:
-Georgie, Meet Pennywise (the children's choir sings "Oranges and Lemons" instead of whispering it) -Egg Boy (Different choir performance when Ben is rifling through the book, there's less strings when Ben is chased by the headless boy) -Mike's Fear (Seems to drop some of the orchestra and synths at the end) -"Judith" (or "Painting Lady" if you prefer) (When Judith appears before Stan, the children's choir sings "Oranges and Lemons", before the shouting girl comes in like on the OST version. The end of the cue is choir-free) -Slideshow (Cuts out some of the synth just before Pennywise actually comes out of the projector) -Time To Float (Stronger percussion as Pennywise emerges from the freezer) -Return to Niebolt (Adds in a synthetic timpani drum) -The end credits includes another version of "Georgie, Meet Pennywise" that ends at the point where Georgie reaches into the grate.

And in the movie, in the opening titles, after the singing kid, plays "Every 27 Years (Reprise)" and in the end credits is when "Every 27 Years" plays, but without the "Oranges and Lemons" bit.
Also, I'm interest in what your edit is? I mean, are you creating film version of some tracks, or are you mixing them together or something like that?
Interestingly, though this score is being submitted for consideration in Awards Season, I haven't seen an FYC floating about for this one. Anybody in the know and is able to say whether the FYC is just this OST, or whether it's different in any way?

For years now WB has been jewing out and using the soundtrack as the FYC. Go figure that the same studio who re-releases and re-releases a harry potter collection year after year pulls this

I guess it would depend entirely on what sort of award WB is going after. I'm told if they submit it for an Oscar, they have to present it as is heard in the film, and the OST presentation would definitely disqualify it if that's the case. (The point came up when I asked why The Last Jedi was cues taken from the film stems when somebody else suggested it wasn't because of the ease given how the film was scored)
Finished with my first listen and I'm loving what I heard. Normally 80+ minutes tend to drag for me... not here. The music is consistently strong and Wallfisch is able to do something most horror composers fail at; keep the horror underscore interesting. I tend to normally get bored with horror scores when they pull the same tricks, but I found myself genuinely unnerved with the vocal effects he throws in.
As for the themes, while there are definitely no competitors for ACFW they all work extremely well. Especially when they allow for big moments of wonder or softer emotion. I'm really loving this one, not quite as much as Wellness but definitely in the same ballpark.

And am I crazy or is that Richard Bellis' theme from the miniseries in "Its What It Wants"?

mpolonest123 - definitely sounds like it might be inspired by it. I heard the "glockenspiel roll" employed by Bellis used in the track "Deadlights" as well. If these things are intentional nods, then it's pretty cool that the score at least acknowledges the past.
Does anyone know what tracks appear in the end credits of the movie (in case there is music, that I think it is). I think the credits open with Every 27 Years (Reprise), but I don't know what's next. Thanks in advance for the help!

I don't know if anybody stayed behind long enough to find out given that the only thing waiting at the end of the credits is one last Pennywise laugh and "IT: Chapter 1". I'd assume "Georgie's Theme" played next.
Pretty good score that fits the film very well (which, by the way, is a great film). I don't think the OST misses anything off of any significance... but it doesn't seem to be in chronological order either.

Well Ben wrote more than a hundred cues for it ! Lots of very very short pieces... The OST has got everything needed indeed. As for chronlogical order, the second half is, but the first is kinda all over the place with lots of combined cues so hard to really place them, but here's what I came up with (if you don't want to start butchering every track lol) :
Every 27 Years (2:36) Paper Boat (1:55) Georgie, Meet Pennywise (3:38) Derry (2:24) Shape Shifter (1:42) Egg Boy (2:44) River Chase (2:09) Hockstetter Attack (2:15) Beverly (1:20) Derry History (2:48) Come Join The Clown, Eds (1:20) Haircut (4:14) You'll Float Too (3:20) January Embers (1:05) Saving Mike (1:15) This Is Not A Dream (2:08) Slideshow (2:01) He Didn't Stutter Once (1:33) Neibolt Street (4:17) Time To Float (3:04) It's What It Wants (1:19) You'll Die If You Try (4:38) Return To Neibolt (2:31) Into The Well (2:05) Pennywise's Tower (1:48) The Pennywise Dance (0:36) Deadlights (2:04) Searching For Stanley (2:28) Saving Beverly (3:36) Georgie Found (1:53) Transformation (0:58) Feed On Your Fear (2:34) Welcome To The Losers Club (3:05) Yellow Raincoat (1:43) Blood Oath (3:11) Kiss (0:54) Every 27 Years (Reprise) (2:07) Georgie's Theme (1:42)
Aaaaand if you STILL want a super detailed breakdown of the beginning :
Every 27 Years Paper Boat Georgie, Meet Pennywise Derry (0:20 to 1:02) Derry (1:41 to end) Derry (1:02 to 1:41) Shape Shifter Derry (0:00 to 0:21) Egg Boy River Chase Hockstetter Attack January Embers (0:00 to 0:25) Haircut (0:00 to 0:51) Beverly Derry History Come Join The Clown, Eds Haircut (0:51 to end) You'll Float Too January Embers (0:25 to end) Saving Mike This Is Not A Dream Slideshow He Didn't Stutter Once (0:31 to end) He Didn't Stutter Once (0:00 to 0:31) 21 Neibolt Street Time To Float It's What It Wants You'll Die If You Try (0:51 to end) You'll Die If You Try (0:00 to 0:51) Return To Neibolt Etc.

Hundred cues! Wow! That's s lot of work on his part. I kind of like the horror pays but I would have love if he had created more tracks like Paper Boat, Beverly or Blood Oath, but I guess the movie didn't needed more. Also I hope will be brought back to score the second chapter so he can use some of his themes and develop them.
PS: Hybrid, thanks for the chrono tracklist!

Thanks for the breakdown :)
It's nice to know the second half is in order, though I think "The Pennywise Dance" should go before "Deadlights" since it plays as Pennywise does the 'old man jig'.

Oops, you already chronologically placed "The Pennywise Dance"! My bad!
