If you thought the first IT trailer, starring everyone’s (least) favourite clown Pennywise just casually chillin’ in a storm drain, was bad enough then ain’t seen nothing yet. Clowns + sewers + balloons = a bad time. Welp. I’m going back behind the sofa.

The clip which debuted at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, shows off the fun-filled New England landscape of Derry, Maine with kids playing and just generally having a fun ol’ time.

Except when the kids decide, yup, going down a dark and dreary sewer to look for a missing kid sounds like it’ll be a fun time had by all. Nope, nope, nope. Bye.

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
