Even More New Images of Pennywise and The Losers’ Club from ‘IT’
EW takes us deep into the sewers with a new shot of the Losers Club from New Line Cinema’s IT. In addition, they’ve shared yet another shot of Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard) once again out of the shadows and in the daylight. It’s sort of amazing to me how many hero shots they’ve shared of Pennywise and it’s not only failed to ruin the movie but also just makes me want to see it even more. Andy Muschietti actually speaks to this:
“He is present. It’s not like one of those movies where you can hide the monster,” explains Muschietti. “He’s front and center, he does his show, and he has an act. He is a clown.”

“It truly enjoys the shape of the clown Pennywise, and enjoys the game and the hunt,” Skarsgard adds. “What’s funny to this evil entity might not be funny to everyone else. But he thinks it’s funny.”
The key to bringing King’s most iconic villain to life? “Keep it weird,” Muschietti says. “It’s weird all the time. Pennywise does things that make absolutely no sense, but they’re very disturbing because of the weirdness.”
If the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s IT is good (we’ll find out September 8th), Pennywise could become the next iconic horror movie villain that hails out of “the house that Freddy built.”

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
