Skarsgard hinted to IGN that the scares in the sequel will get kicked up a notch since the main characters will no longer be children.
"The first movie worked so well at what it is trying to do, I think, and ultimately that is the kids' story, and you follow these kids and you sort of fall in love with these kids," he said. "The second one will be the adult story. I think the right way to do it is to make that movie actively different . . . I think there might be worth exploring sort of the psychological aspects of horror, but also maybe the sort of cosmological existence of this being. What is he, and where does he come from?"
Muschietti also promises dark thrills, since he told the crowd at CinemaCon that It: Chapter 2 will crank up the terror. According to one attendee, he instructed everyone to "Bring your adult diapers . . . to the theaters." Damn.
