🎥 TRAILER: “THE SHAPE AND THE SHADOW — HALLOWEEN AT DERRY”
(A Dept. of Petty Affairs horror crossover event)
[FADE IN — BLACK SCREEN] Faint laughter echoes like a broken calliope. A red balloon drifts into frame, tied to a butcher knife.
NARRATOR (deep, vintage voiceover):
“This Halloween… the fog rolls in from Derry.”
[FLASH CUT — children’s drawings on cracked pavement: balloons, knives, a white mask.]
NARRATOR:
“One feeds on fear…” (Pennywise grins — teeth unfold like razors. His eyes flick yellow.) “…the other has none to give.” (Myers steps out of the mist — silent, steady, breathing like thunder.)
[CARNIVAL LIGHTS flicker — the “IT” logo glitching into a jack-o’-lantern.]
PENNYWISE (mocking whisper):
“Why won’t you scream…?”
[Beat of silence.] MYERS BREATHES.
NARRATOR (rising dread):
“The clown that laughs… meets the shape that doesn’t.”
[Rapid montage:]
- Pennywise crawling upside down across a carousel.
- Myers standing motionless as balloons pop around him.
- A sewer drain fills with red water — then goes still.
- Knife glint.
- Balloon pops.
NARRATOR (final line):
“Fear has met its match.”
[TITLE CARD — BLOOD-RED FONT]: 🎃 THE SHAPE AND THE SHADOW: HALLOWEEN AT DERRY 🎈
[FADE OUT — sound of a single breath… then Pennywise giggles one last time.]
Jerry flicks the projector off, smoke curling in the silence.
“Thirty seconds. Maximum dread. Minimal sound. They’ll come for the clown — but stay for the silence.”
