Published

on

This year’s best horror film is now available for digital purchase.

As we outlined yesterday, the home video release of Andy Muschietti’s IT will be packed with 15-minutes of deleted/extended scenes, including an alternate opening gag scene.

EW got their hands on that alternate opening today, which is pure gold.

In the alternate scene, presumably shot for a laugh and nothing more, Pennywise attempts to lure Georgie into the sewer. Only this time, his plan doesn’t quite work…

IT arrives on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack/Blu-ray Combo Pack/DVD on January 9, 2018. Best Buy will be getting an exclusive Steelbook, while Target is getting their own version that includes a lenticular cover and “Welcome to Derry” postcards.
