Fans are eagerly awaiting IT: Chapter Two‘s arrival in theaters. And who could blame them? Everything we hear implies that Chapter Two is going to be even more terrifying than 2017’s first installment from director Andy Muschietti.

In the movie there’s a scene…someone said on set that it’s the most blood that’s ever been in a horror film. In a scene,” Chastain told host Jimmy Fallon.

The city’s Highway 784 extension is in the process of being constructed right across town and inexorably through every aspect of Bart’s existence—whether it’s about to barrel over the laundry plant where he makes a living, or soon to smash through the very home where he makes a life. But as a result, something’s been happening inside Bart’s head that a heartless local bureaucracy isn’t prepared for—a complete and irrevocable burnout of the mental circuit breaker that keeps a mild-mannered person from turning to violent means. As the wheels of progress and a demolition
