With just weeks to go before the new adaptation of Stephen King’s “It” hits theaters, two new images from the horror film, exclusive to Entertainment Weekly, have hit the web for your amusement (or terror). In the first, we get a new glimpse of scary clown/demon Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard), looking not remotely evil at all (just kidding).

Directed by Andres Muschietti from a script by Cary Fukunaga, Gary Dauberman and Chase Palmer, “It” stars Skarsgard, along with Finn Wolfhard, Jaeden Lieberher, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor as the Losers’ Club. The New Line horror film hits theaters Sept. 8.
