consolidating the page and deleting some nattery stuff covered in the movie section. i don't think out-of-context trailer moments count either.


!! Movie
* Meg's [[spoiler: initial]] attempts to tesser. Poor thing looks like a tormented spirit screaming.
* Camazotz's uncanny synchronization. Aside from the kids bouncing their toy balls at the same time, there's the creepy music of a single violin tune repeating again and again, as though it were the sound of the IT stroking the figurative [[RightHandCat cat]].

* The reveal of the IT being [[spoiler: not merely a giant evil brain, but [[EldritchAbomination a evil brain so insanely large]] that [[EldritchLocation it's literally the battle ground for the climax]].]]
** Not only is the IT [[spoiler: big, but also very much alive and very capable of harming anything inside.]]
** "Welcome to the darkest mind in the universe...".

* The trailer gives us our first look at the city controlled by the IT. The place may look colorful and innocent... [[CrapsaccharineWorld But it's not]]. On closer inspection, you notice the children are bouncing their toy balls in the most uncanny synchronization. Everybody in that village talks in sync. With the exception of the village being colorless, this follows the book all too closely...
** Even scarier? The way the mothers look [[BreakingTheFourthWall right at the screen]] and ask "Are you lost?" It's as though the IT detects that there's something or someone (the audience) intruding on the [=ITs=] 'body', and in the most thinly veiled threat, understands it must be somehow removed...
* Alex Murray looks like he's gone through hell while imprisoned. At one point he looks towards the camera in utter shock, [[NothingIsScarier and we don't know why.]]
* The downright '''chilling''' delivery of the trailer's final line:
-->''"The only thing faster than light... is the darkness."''
