Stephen King’s nightmare returns. After the chilling duology that redefined IT for a new generation, IT Chapter Three (2025) dares to go where the original novel never did—expanding the mythology of Pennywise, the Deadlights, and the curse that festers beneath Derry. The first trailer makes one thing clear: the clown is not gone. He was only waiting.
The trailer opens with a whispering voice in the dark: “You thought you defeated me… but I am hunger itself.” A red balloon floats upward, drifting across a barren Derry street. As it bursts, we see a new group of children, eyes wide, caught in the same nightmare cycle that haunted the Losers Club decades before.
The story teases a generational return. While the Losers’ saga ended in blood and sacrifice, the evil that calls itself Pennywise cannot die—it only sleeps. Now, as adults who survived begin to tell their stories, we realize IT’s curse stretches far beyond Derry, infecting towns, families, and histories with unspeakable horror.
Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise reemerges more terrifying than ever. His smile is wider, his voice deeper, his transformations grotesque. One chilling shot shows him crawling, spider-like, across a ceiling before lunging at the camera. Another shows his face splitting into multiple versions, all laughing in unison.
The horror imagery pushes boundaries: children vanishing in rivers of blood, corpses rising in flooded streets, and visions of the Deadlights consuming entire rooms in blinding madness. The trailer hints at cosmic terror, suggesting IT’s origins in the void will finally be confronted.
Yet the heart of IT remains in the bonds of those who resist. Survivors of the Losers Club appear in fleeting glimpses, their faces lined with age and trauma. One voiceover—possibly Mike Hanlon—warns: “We thought we ended it. We were wrong. Evil doesn’t end… it waits for the next generation.”
Visually, the film is darker, bolder, more surreal. Derry is no longer just a cursed town—it is a wound, festering with nightmares that spill into reality. Buildings bend, skies bleed, and shadows move even when no one stands in them.
The score is a symphony of unease—children’s lullabies warped into minor keys, pounding orchestral swells, and Pennywise’s giggle woven into the music like a curse you can’t escape.
The climax of the trailer is relentless: flashing images of terrified children running through a collapsing funhouse, a storm of red balloons engulfing an entire street, and Pennywise whispering in a child’s ear: “You’ll float… forever.”
The final image lingers: the Deadlights reflected in a child’s eyes as the screen cuts to black. Then the title emerges in dripping scarlet: IT Chapter Three (2025).
This isn’t just another return to Derry—it’s the expansion of a nightmare, a confrontation with the very essence of fear itself. If the trailer is any sign, IT Chapter Three will not just close the story—it will drag us deeper into the abyss.
