IT 2 star: Pennywise sequel includes 'GORIEST' most gruesome horror scene of all time

Pet Sematary opens next week and will reintroduce lucky audiences to the gruesome afterlife of the favourite cuddly furry friends. King has always excelled and taking the happy tropes of childhood and turning them into something utterly terrifying. Horror is having a Hollywood renaissance recently, and the first IT film lead the charge back in 2017 when it smashed expectations and box office records to become one of the biggest films of the year. It 2 hits cinemas later this year and is set to raise the stakes even more with the “bloodiest” scene ever shown on film.

Jessica Chastain will play adult Beverly, who already endured truly awful scenes in the first movie, but apparently worse is yet to come: “I’m gonna say something and I think I’m gonna be in trouble but I’m gonna do it.

“It might be a spoiler, but in the movie there’s a scene that someone said on set that it’s the most blood that’s ever been in a horror film in a scene.

“I’ll tell you, the next day I was pulling blood out of my eyeballs. Like, fake blood!”

The description sounds like there will be fountains or rivers of blood if it is getting into people’s eyes. Fans will already be speculating which scene from the book the actress is referring to.

It will be hard to top the scenes in the first film when a bathroom erupts in huge spurts of blood, gushing upwards to soak the ceiling and walls, as well as the terrified figure kneeling in terror.

Director Andy Muschietti showcased the first footage from his sequel last year at San Diego Comic COn and promising the sequel will “crank up the horror aspects.”

He boasted It Chapter 2 would be “scarier and more intense” and that fans should wear their adult diapers to the cinema.

IT MOVIE DELETED SCENE LEADS DIRECTLY INTO CHAPTER 2

Chastain is joined by James McAvoy, Jay Ryan, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, James Ransone and Andy Bean as the other adult members of The Losers Club.

McAvoy has admitted that filming scenes with Pennywise was terrifying: “I remember standing there with the rest of the cast, all these adults, and we’d all done weird freaky stuff.

“And we are all looking at each other going, ‘I don’t like being here. I don’t like being an actor today.’

“He really did, he really freaked me out. I never liked clowns as a kid.”

IT: Chapter 2 is out on September 6
