Hello, fellow kids. Wanna play?

With the new adaptation of Stephen King's It hitting theaters on Sept. 8, here's the full collection of preview images that have been released.

Not so funny

The clown is the favorite form a shapeshifting evil presence that lives beneath the town of Derry, Maine, and feeds off of the fear of its victims. It has lived there for ages, and it creates a toxic mood of violence and cruelty among the townsfolk.

"Dontcha want your boat, Georgie?"

The beast wakes to feed every 27 years, and one of his first victims in the new cycle is little Georgie Denbrough, who goes out into the rain to sail a paper boat he made with his brother ... and never returns.

Man Behind the Mask

Although Pennywise takes many forms, he is primarily played by Bill Skarsgård, who got the job because he didn't require any make-up or costume. That's just how he looks and dresses in real life.

Behold the Losers

These are the kids who unite to fight the creature: Bill Denbrough (Midnight Special’s Jaeden Lieberher) whose little brother Georgie was snatched by It the autumn before; Mike Hanlon (Chosen Jacobs), who's one of the only black residents in town; Beverly Marsh (Sophia Lillis) who has been tormented by false slut-shaming rumors; wisecracking Richie “Trashmouth” Tozier (Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard); small-fry and hypochondriac Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Grazer); the logical, prepared Boy Scout Stan Uris (Wyatt Oleff), who's used to be persecuted for being Jewish; and heavyset Ben Hanscom (Jeremy Ray Taylor), who is also new to town.

Stronger Together

One reason "The Losers" are able to fight back is because they shed their fear. All of them have been so badly beaten and abused by life, that they have a greater sense of empathy than the other residents of the town. They see things in each other that other's don't. They also see the truth about It that others refused to believe.

Into the Sewers

One creepy house in town stands over a well that dates back to pioneer times. This well is a pipeline directly into the lair of It, who navigates the subterranean labyrinth with ease. The dark, wet, rotting caverns are its home.

Light in August

In the summertime shortly before returning to school, the Losers begin to piece together the history of It -- and how the creature has manipulated their town. A series of slides matching sewer entrances with murders helps them to connect the crimes and the creature.

Claws Out

The original cover for Stephen King's 1986 novel features a green claw clutching the rails of a sewer grate, and this moment from the film pays homage to that as Pennywise shreds his white gloves to reveal a hand that is far from human.

We All Float

In this reveal of Pennywise's costume, designed by Janie Bryant (Deadwood, Mad Men) you can see that the creature's feet don't necessarily touch the ground. Here's the full story about creating the look of the killer clown.

Concept Art 1

The network of storm drains is littered with cast-off items – a doll, a single roller skate, a bouncing ball. This is more than trash. These are the remnants of other lost children whose fears have fed the beast beneath their twisted town. The deeper they go, the closer they get to It's hive.

“The final confrontation happens in the lair where Pennywise lives, a big cistern, a circular space that resembles a cooling tower,” says director Andy Muschietti (2013's Mama). Bill may find what he’s looking for. And he may regret ever having searched.

This sequence of concept art reveals the descent. In the first frame, we see Bill with his friend Bev Marsh (Sophia Lillis), but in the finished film he's with different buddies. “He actually comes in with some of the Losers. Richie and Eddie. And they meet Ben in that scene," the director says.

Bill Denbrough and one of his friends descend from a rope in the well, located in the basement of that creepy house. (The filmmakers ended up losing the vest jacket look — too Marty McFly.)

Want a Balloon?

Little Georgie should have never talked to this stranger.
