Screenwriter Gary Dauberman has confirmed that the craziest part of Stephen King’s famed novel “IT” will be in the upcoming film, IT: Chapter 2 and NO it’s not the orgy scene! The famed “Ritual of Chüd” will be seen on screen for the first time. The ritual in question comes directly from the novel and is the true way to defeat the creature Pennywise. It’s a battle of wills where once started, those partaking in it are taken to another dimension. The ritual starts when one of the club members touches their tongue on top of Pennywise’s tongue, from there are bound when another member of the Losers club bites down on both tongues.

Bill Skarsgard Is Creepy As Hell In The New “Castle Rock” Trailer

The first trailer for Hulu’s new series “Castle Rock” is here and it’s creepy as hell, but that’s only fitting seeing it’s from Master of Horror Stephen King and J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Force Awakens). The trailer features Bill Skarsgard (It) as a mysterious and twisted prisoner in Shawshank Prison. “Castle Rock is this town that [King] made famous in all these different books; and these two writers, Dustin Thomason and Sam Shaw, came up with this incredibly cool, terrifying, weird, funny idea of a series, new story, that takes place in this town,” producer J.J.

He went nuts for it.” Scott Glenn stars as Alan Pangborn who appeared in both Needful Things and The Dark Half, and Sissy Spacek (Carrie) as Ruth Deaver, the adoptive mother of the series’ lead character Henry (Andre
