From there, the story follows a group of school children trying to cope with stress and strain of their everyday existence while the demonic presence begins to creep into their lives and haunt them slowly.

It has been almost 30 years since Tommy Lee Wallace’s IT miniseries first debuted, and it is clear that Pennywise the Clown has not lost any of his ability to instill utter terror.
There’s a healthy blend of old and new in this trailer, as the first scene depicted is an incredibly stylish recreation of the infamous sewer scene — which sees the young Georgie encounter the evil clown in a storm drain, where everything still floats.
