Dare You to Watch the Scariest Movie Trailer of 2017

Dare You to Watch the Scariest Movie Trailer of 2017

In November of 1990, ABC aired an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel It. The two-part miniseries featured a demented clown named Pennywise (played by Tim Curry) who terrorized a group of fictional children. Real children who watched it had nightmares for months. Beware, ’90s kids — he’s baaaaack.


This September, the balloon-wielding clown from hell is coming to the big screen for an even more terrifying experience. Horror vet Bill Skarsgard (of Hemlock Grove fame) will be taking the scarring — ahem, starring — role this time around.

The film’s first trailer was posted to YouTube today and the internetcan’t stop screaming. In two and half minutes, there’s plenty to scream about: dark, claustrophobic sewer tunnels, way-too-curious children, a heart-thumping soundtrack, and, yes, Pennywise.

Good luck sleeping tonight.
