Returning director Andy Muschietti has been teasing that IT: Chapter Two will be scarier and crazier than the first one, and a comment from star Jessica Chastain on “The Tonight Show” tonight sure seemed to back up that promise. Chastain was hesitant to say too much while chatting with Jimmy Fallon, but she did tease one incredibly bloody scene.

“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 Fallon.

The next day I was pulling blood out of my eyeballs,” she added.
