Jessica Chastain just revealed the creepiest detail about IT: Chapter Two

“I think I’m gonna be in trouble, but I’m gonna do it.”

There’s no denying it: IT was the stuff nightmares were made of.

The 2017 horror film, based on the Stephen King novel, is set in the summer of 1989 and follows seven children – Bill, Ben, Beverly, Richie, Mike, Eddie and Stan – who are terrorised by an evil being that exploits their fears and worst nightmares.

Oh, and the ‘evil being’ – also called It – often takes the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

Like we said, nightmares. And from the sounds of it, IT: Chapter Two is going to be even scarier.

Jessica Chastain, who is playing an older version of Beverly, appeared on The Tonight Show earlier this week, where she revealed a very creepy detail about the new film. 

Apparently, IT: Chapter Two has a lot of blood. As in, “the most blood that’s ever been in a horror film scene.”

She told Jimmy Fallon:

“I love the scary stuff – but it’s more fun being the scary person than the person being scared. 

“In [IT: Chapter Two], there’s a scene — someone said on set that it’s the most blood that’s ever been in a horror film scene.

“The next day I was like, pulling [fake] blood from my eyeballs.”

The second movie will pick up 27 years after the first film left off, with It returning to Derry.

The Loser Club’s Bill, Ben, Beverly, Richie, Mike, Eddie and Stan fulfill their promises and return to Maine to end the situation once and for all.

But what they don’t realise is that It is stronger and crueler than ever.
