Although it has not released yet, Stephen King's IT movie is already terrifying and the film's official Twitter account is adding to the nightmare.
The Twitter account posted an extremely creepy gif early Friday morning. In the gif we see the antagonist, Pennywise, standing in front of an old run down cabin holding a plethora of red balloons.
The balloons sway slowly back and forth and we see a child in the field staring at the big bad. He's obviously freaked out as anyone would be.
The tweet left a creepy comment asking fans, "Want a 🎈? #ITMovie."
