LOS ANGELES — “It” has raced past “The Fate of the Furious,” setting the record for the most-watched trailer online in a single day.

New Line Cinema’s teaser for “It” generated 197 million views globally within 24 hours of its release, topping the previous record of 139 million set by Universal’s “The Fate of the Furious” in December.

That figure stood at 246 million views, 36 hours past its release.

Thirty localized versions of the trailer for the adaptation of Stephen King’s hit 1986 horror novel were released on Wednesday at 9 a.m. PT, notching more than 81 million views and 1.8 million-plus shares from U.S. Facebook instances alone. It rapidly rose to No. 1 on YouTube’s trending videos and remained there throughout the day.

2. "It" is one of my favorite books. It's also one of two books, both by King, that can still get to me

today.

Years after reading "It" but only a few days after watching the horrible made for TV movie, I was in my friend's bathroom, sitting on the toilet, and still not looking at drains (again), when balloons - I kid you not - but fucking balloons came drifting out of the shower from behind the curtain. Drifting slowly, coming right at me.

I screamed. I won't lie. I screamed like mad.

They were her birthday balloons and she kept them in the shower to keep them from floating around the room. Opening and closing the door caused/allowed for a shift in the air, prompting the balloons to move.

The first time I read "Salem's Lot" I was sitting at a table with a door open about 10 feet from me. The hour was growing late and I kept telling myself to shut the door (and lock it) but I couldn't put the book down. I would glance at the door and the outside behind it but still wouldn't get up and close the damn door. Each time I looked, I was more scared than the time before.

Finally...finally...I worked up the courage to go lock that evil door. Whew.

No sooner than I turned my back to the door someone was actually at the door.

Hit it with a loud thud. Yes, I screamed and jumped.

I had forgot to latch the screen door and a storm was coming, so the wind picked up and pulled the door open and slammed it shut again.

I've read SL again since then but never without remembering that night, and still getting that creepy feeling again.

Amazing how we can scare the living shit out of ourselves.
