San Diego Comic-Con is officially underway, but things kicked off on a very dark and creepy note last night with Scare Diego where a bunch of freaky details emerged for of some of the biggest upcoming horror movies. Our own Paul Shirey was on hand where movies like IT: CHAPTER TWO, THE NUN, THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA and ANNABELLE 3 were discussed. The night ended with a séance, but Cthulu was unable to be summoned.

Of course, the big-ticket item was IT, so that’s what the night kicked off with. The audience was treated to a clip from the movie but given shooting hasn’t been in production all that long there wasn’t a ton to show off. The clip found the now adult Loser’s Club meeting up at a Chinese restaurant after years apart, with Bill Hader’s Richie Tozier asking, “Soooo, what do you guys wanna talk about?” Then Bill Skarsgard’s Pennywise shows up, looking as creepy as ever. Director Andy Muschietti says the movie will be much scarier than the first, so be sure to come prepared…undergarment wise.

Wonder what we’ll see… #ScareDiego @joblocom pic.twitter.com/sMftULaoqz

Just saw a great BTS of IT: Chapter 2. First look at the actors in the scene where they reunite at the Chinese restaurant in Derry. Some emotional looking peeks of everyone. Bill Hader’s Richie says, “Soooo. What do you guys want to talk about?” #ScareDiego @joblocom

A bunch of peeks at Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise looking exactly as he did before: creepy as hell! Andy Muschietti says the sequel will be “scarier and more intense” and that we should wear adult diapers to the theater. #ScareDiego @joblocom

Next up was LA LLORONA, a new supernatural horror film from producer James Wan and starring Linda Cardellini, Sean Patrick Thomas, Raymond Cruz and more. It centers on a single mother and social worker who discovers an evil spirit (origins of whom detailed below) is terrorizing a family she’s working with, only for the demon to target her and her family. Some clips were shown, and word is it looks like a solid horror flick that should inspire some comparisons to THE NUN.

The story of La Llorona is about a woman who gets married & has kids and discovers that her husband is cheating on him and retaliates by drowning her kids and then kills herself. She’s then cursed to search for kids to take their place #ScareDiego #TheCurseofLaLlorona @joblocom

Saw a few scenes from #TheCurseofLaLlorona which has all the jump scares and creepiness you’ve come to expect from New Line’s brand of horror, housed in real-life folklore and scary mythology. #ScareDiego @joblocom

You ask any Latino kid who grew up with La Llorona and we were scared shitless of her. Now, you all get to be – Raymond Cruz on #TheCurseofLaLlorona @joblocom

#TheCurseofLaLlorona really does look like a creepy cool horror flick. I think comparisons to The Nun will be made, but that’s not such a bad thing. The clips made the back of my hair stand up, sooooo… #ScareDiego @joblocom

Then some clips were shown for THE NUN, and then some plot details were shared about ANNABELLE 3, which will be written and directed by Gary Dauberman (who wrote ANNABELLE 2 and IT). The movie will focus on the time after the cursed doll is bought back to the Warren home (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) and begins to terrorize the young daughter, with Wan saying it’s “NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM with Annabelle.”

Saw a bunch of scenes from #TheNun and of course it looks creepy as hell, although it’s almost too easy, y’know? Why wouldn’t you be freaked out with that? Then, they brought the lights up… #ScareDiego @joblocom pic.twitter.com/sBwsZnFTJB

Writer Gary Dauberman is writing and directing the next installment of Anabelle, which centers on The Warrens bringing her back to their artifact room, where she targets their 10-year old daughter. #ScareDiego @joblocom
