Though they may not be for everyone, most theme parks tend to include at least one haunted attraction for guests who don’t mind getting scared a little. An excellent candidate to inspire one of these spooky rides would be It, the 2017 horror film based on Stephen King’s legendary novel.

The film is full of major frights from beginning to end, with the residents of Derry being consistently tormented by Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and the other terrifying forms the creature embodies. One scene in particular would be perfect for a haunted house-type attraction.
