What Are You Doing In My Sewers: Shrek Invades The New ‘It’ Trailer

Just when you thought The Cat In The Hat was the scariest thing hanging out in the Derry Sewers, a certain ogre pokes his ugly green head out. Ogres are like onions! Ogres are like onions! I’m starting to think the It trailer would still be scary if you replaced Pennywise with a goldfish, let alone an 8 foot tall foul smelling monster like Shrek. Thats not a bad question actually; what does Pennywise smell like? Shouldn’t that white cotton clown costume be smeared in brown? I really hope “insert random slightly creepy children character Into It trailer” becomes a new meme. Maybe next up The Grinch? Yep….not terrifying at all.

Pennywise Scares The Sh*t Out Of The Losers’ Club In New IT TV Spot

Every TV spot that arrives for Andy Muschietti’s IT is darker than the one before. Yesterday, we shared with you the new Latin spot. And new TV spot has just been released. In it the kids are scared to the point that we half way expected to see a little yellow pool at their feet (pee), or worse. The adaption of Stephen King’s IT, based on the screenplay written by Gary Dauberman, centers on a group of teens, referred to as the “Losers’ Club”. On a daily basis they face bullies and now a monster that takes the shape of a demented clown known as Pennywise, has arrived in their sleepy little town of Derry Maine. The cast who make up the “Losers’ Club” includes Jaeden Lieberher (Midnight Special), Finn Wolfhard (Stranger things), Jack Dylan Grazer (Tales of Halloween), Wyatt Oleff (Guardians of the Galaxy), Chosen Jacobs (Hawaii Five-O), and Jeremy Ray Taylor (42).

King’s Son Has High Praise for ‘IT’ Remake

It’s a pretty big year for Stephen King fans, with a film adaptation of The Dark Tower, a new original show Castle Rock, a television adaptation of Mr. Mercedes, and more being announced/released. But the most exciting upcoming project has got to be the IT remake, a new adaptation of one of King’s most famous (and longest) novels. The first trailer blew up online, with its terrifying new vision of Pennywise the Clown and 1980’s setting (as opposed to the 60’s setting in the novel). With just a few months until IT is released, a few people in the industry have seen an early cut, and at least one of them has high praise for the Andres Muschietti’s directed film. “Andres’ adaptation of IT is one of the 5 scariest films ever made,” Hill confidently stated. “It’s tremendously humane. You love the characters in it. But it is just relentlessly terrifying.” That quotes from author and Stephen King’s son Joe

‘IT’ Scares Up R Rating

Rejoice, horror fans, as it appears Pennywise won’t be holding back when it comes to visceral terror. Despite the studio trend of the last decade plus to make sure nearly every theatrical horror film gets a tame PG-13 rating, the new adaptation of Stephen King‘s beloved novel ‘IT’ will be rated R when it’s released theatrically this September. The MPAA has cited the highly-anticipated film’s “violence/horror”, blood, and harsh language as the reasons for the restricted rating.
