The trailer was released online yesterday
The newest trailer for "IT" was released online yesterday. The trailer is utterly terrifying and promises to make even the greatest horror fans shrink back in their seats. The trailer begins with a single red balloon floating in an underground sewer. It then switches to a group of young children watching a cinematic reel which begins to spin wildly out of control. The image projected suddenly changes to Pennywise the clown, and the characters start to panic. One screams for them to turn off the projector.
The trailer then switches to a narrated piece by one of the child actors themselves. It shows images of missing children posters plastered around the town in Maine.
The narrator explains how when children are by themselves and don't have huge groups of friends it is much easier for them to be picked off. A group of kids is then seen investigating the entrance to the sewer. The scene is full of comedy as the gang joke around with one another. They are completely unaware that they are at the home of Pennywise the clown.
The kids then find the missing shoe of one of the children who have disappeared. As they realize what their discovery means a red balloon is seen floating towards them in the sewer.
The TV series for fans of horror
There is no doubt that "IT" is the TV series made for fans of horror. The trailers released so far have been aimed to terrify the audiences.
The cast and creators of "IT" appeared at the San Diego Comic Con. According to SR, the trailer they screened there received a huge response from the audience. It is clear the "IT" is going to be a success and one has to wonder if there will be a second season of the series.
