After doing a few (metaphorical) Scrooge McDuck dives into their exponentially growing wealth, It producers David Katzenberg and Seth Graham-Smith had an idea: if people came out in droves ($$) to see their Stephen King remake about a killer klown, perhaps they’ll come out again, in additional droves ($$$) to see Are…
When last we saw the Losers Club, they were fighting off Pennywise the clown and NOT at all taking turns having sex with Beverly, which is what happens in Stephen King’s novel. But they couldn’t just get rid of this shapeshifting, purely evil monster so easily, and now the kids have to return to Derry to finish the…
Remember Are You Afraid of the Dark? Do you also remember watching it almost exclusively while babysitting, tucking the tots into bed before curling up on a stranger’s couch to let the Midnight Society scare the absolute crap out of you with their impossible array of deranged clowns and haunted dolls? Are you also…
Everything in the world has seemed more terrifying in the past few hundred days, so of course it makes sense that 2017 would be the highest grossing year in the history of horror films.
We all have our phobias. A clown lurking in the sewers may not be yours, so how about Kellyanne Conway doing the lurking?
Yesterday, Hollywood trade site Deadline published a story that announced “It Becoming Biggest Horror Pic Ever Beating The Exorcist,” noting that the domestic gross of It (as of today, $228.3 million) was breathing down the neck of that of The Exorcist ($232.9 million). Now, per Box Office Mojo, were The Exorcist’s…
James Charles, the vlogger and social media star who became CoverGirl’s first man spokesmodel last fall, is currently knee deep in messy internet drama thanks to a series of now-deleted tweets he published while watching the movie It in theaters over the weekend. If that sentence made your stomach churn, I suggest you…
The Telegraph’s tremendous profile of Sharon Osbourne describes what it’s like to be married to a person who vacillates between a rhinoceros off his meds and Jabba the Hutt on a good day. I subscribed for the Telegraph’s 30-day free trial for this article, so here, for you, are the facts:
It’s always unnerving when an adult author effectively tells his reader, “Consider these children having sex,” but some books do a better job of justifying it than others (like Edmund White’s gay bildungsroman A Boy’s Own Story). Stephen King’s It, in my estimation, does not do a very good job of justifying a…
What do scary clowns and nostalgia have in common? They are equally obvious and effective devices. Also, they are the air in the balloon of Andy Muschietti’s new version of It. I don’t want to begrudge the pragmatist filmmaker for taking the direct route and giving the people what they want, especially because this is…
To prepare for Andy Muschietti’s new adaptation of Stephen King’s It, I watched Tommy Lee Wallace’s original two-part tv movie from 1990 this weekend. Like the characters in the movie, I didn’t recall how horrendous this relic from my past was. Hokey, obvious, derivative, horribly acted, incompetently directed, It is…
No need to bury the lede here. Mississippi teen Eagan Tilghman put his 3-year-old brother to excellent use by dressing him as a miniature Pennywise from It. The results are...my god, they’re startling. Turns out with enough talent and white makeup, even a kid as cute as his brother Louie can be made into a tiny,…
It—a Stephen King masterpiece that is all three a miniseries, extremely large book and recently-released film—isn’t just terrifying for those forced to encounter Pennywise crawling out of a storm drain. Turns out the real victims here are actual clowns, who are tired of their good (?) names being dragged through the…
Just last year America was inundated with sightings and arrests of creepy clowns in South Carolina, Kentucky, New York and more states across the country. Now, Alamo Drafthouse seems to be tapping into that market to host a clown-only screening of the upcoming It adaptation.
Via The Hollywood Reporter, here’s the trailer for the first half of Stephen King’s massive and terrifying book about a town plagued by a clown that lives in the sewers and lures young children to their deaths.
In the trailer above, get your first taste of the upcoming film adaptation of Stephen King’s It, which floats into theaters Sept. 8. Directed by Andrés Muschietti (Mama), this second motion picture adaptation of King’s 1986 novel is expected to be rated R and split into two parts, according to an interview with…
If you’ve ever wanted to contemplate Marlene Dietrich’s magnetic appeal at its proper scale, now’s your chance.
October plays host to Nylon's second annual "It Girl" Issue and the IG's in question are about what you'd expect: lots of rich children and models and well-dressed scenesters. "It Girl" is itself such an amorphous concept, we wondered, what does it even mean? Well, from examining the It Girls profiled within (Zooey…
