  • The delivery of the trailer's final line.
    "The only thing faster than light... is the darkness."
  • Meg's initial attempts to tesser look like she's 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.
  • Red's reveal as a literal puppet. Becomes even creepier when he willingly allows his strings to be cut.
  • The reveal of the IT being not merely a giant evil brain, but an evil brain so insanely large that it's literally the battle ground for the climax.
    • Not only is the IT big, but IT's also very much alive and very capable of harming anything inside.
