It: Chapter 2 Had Major Cameos From Horror Legends


The highly anticipated sequel It: Chapter Two is finally here and it's just as terrifying as expected. The movie also gave horror fans a lot to talk about once all the terror was finally over. But did you manage to spot some of the horror legends who had surprise cameos in the film?

WARNING: The following contains It: Chapter Two spoilers so proceed with caution.

In Chapter Two, the adult Bill Denbrough (James McAvoy) ended up in a pawn shop where he rediscovers his old bike Silver. Bill immediately asks to purchase the bicycle and is overcharged by the proprietor who has been reading Bill's book. When Bill later offers to sign the book, the man declines because he hated the ending. Which is quite hilarious considering that the pawnshop owner was played by It author Stephen King.

It shouldn't be much of a surprise that King popped up in Chapter Two. After all, he has appeared in numerous adaptations of his works including Pet Sematary (1989 version), Thinner, The Langoliers, and Sleepwalkers just to name a few.

King isn't the only horror legend that showed up in Chapter Two. The film's director Andy Muschietti also made an appearance in a scene in a local pharmacy. In addition to that, The Tell-Tale Heart star Peter Bogdanovich played the director of the film that's based on Bill's novel.
