IT: Chapter Two comes with a severe warning. If you don’t like clowns, then don’t watch!


The newly arrived second trailer for It Chapter Two delivers really creepy and unsettling imagery to great success, without giving us much new information.





And as promised, we get to see more of the Losers Club and their pale-faced tormentor Pennywise the Clown. Because every 27 years evil revisits the town of Derry, Maine, “It Chapter Two” brings the characters—who’ve long since gone their separate ways—back together as adults, nearly three decades after the events of the first film. 









Where the first trailer emphasized a nightmarish return home, the second one emphasizes Bill Skarsgard’s unsettling grin as Pennywise, the evil shape-shifting clown who haunts Stephen King’s deceptively bucolic town of Derry, Maine. It also treats us to lingering glimpses of the group of Derry misfits we met in the first film

Admittedly, Culturedemandsgeeks didn’t think this trailer was as creepy as the first one, but I guess they’re saving a lot of the scares for the actual film. I have to hand it to the first movie though, the trailer was filled with chills, but the film still managed to deliver.


But King’s epic novel doesn’t stop there, so It: Chapter Two covers the rest of King’s plot — in which the Losers have to face down Pennywise in adulthood. When they were children, the evils the Losers faced were embedded within the town; now, in order to defeat Pennywise, the adults will all have to individually overcome their own personal demons.

If there’s something I do love though, it’s the visual style that Andy Muschietti brings to the table.

The colors are just so vibrant and the scenes just really pop onscreen. Plus, each adult member of the Losers Club is perfectly cast, but we’ll just have to wait and see how they all turn out in the film.

With the hype for Stranger Things starting to die down, it’s the perfect time to start promoting the next closest thing.

If anything, IT is the OG Stranger Things, but just less kid-friendly.

Catch IT: Chapter Two when it hits theaters Sept. 6.
