Stephen King’s “It" trailer scares fans out of their minds

The first trailer has been released for a move adaption of Stephen King’s It. Unlike the 1990 TV miniseries, the movie adaption which comes in two planned instalments, is sure to give fans a fright. The book’s monster Pennywise the Clown who was played by Tim Curry in the miniseries, is now played by Bill Skarsgard.

The moment that has fans excited in the trailer is the glimpse into the projector scene with The Losers Club who are the children that face off against the clown. Georgie’s older brother Bill is a member of the group, and as the group begins to plane their schemes, the projector begins to malfunctions and then shows images of Bill’s family. A picture of his mother comes across the screen with her hair hiding her face which then slowly morphs into Pennywise.

Fans took to Twitter to voice their delight with the scariness of the trailer.

One user wrote, “Seriously, that was an amazing trailer. It is so creepy. Esp. the projector scene and the final shot. Disturbing.”

Another wrote, “#ITMovie trailer looks great! Pleasantly surprised at how creepy it was, especially the part with the picture projector!

Although a trailer cannot guarantee a good film, It was praised by Stephen King himself.

On Twitter Stephen King wrote, “Andy Muschietti's remake of IT (actually it's Part 1--The Losers' Club) succeeds beyond my expectations. Relax. Wait. And enjoy.”
