It not only helped give the horror genre its biggest year ever, but the sequel is going to drop on Sept. 6, 2019. That gives you over a year to catch all of the Easter Eggs and references in the film, since the Bluray edition of It hits stores on January 9, 2018, and while there are no plans for an extended edition of the film, someone on Blu-ray.com posted a rundown of the features and deleted scenes that appear on the Australian Blu-ray of the film. One of the scenes is definitely interesting.

"Denbrough family vacation": After saying goodbye to Beverly at the end of the movie, Bill and his parents are packing for the family vacation Bill was talking about in an earlier deleted scene. This subplot does kind of enhance the family dynamic. As the car drives away, the camera pulls in to the drain where Georgie was taken. Camera stops, and rain starts to hit the pavement. This would have been a perfect final shot.

It's not really a surprise, considering the end of It told you there'd be another film, but they could have swapped that title on screen for the above scene, which would've laid out the fact Pennywise wasn't completely gone. Sly filmmaking and all that.

Either way, there's no word that all of these deleted scenes and features will be featured on the American edition of It on Blu-ray, but here's a look at everything else Australia's got right now.

Extras:

Pennywise Lives (16:25) - a behind-the-scenes featurette about Pennywise, of course.
The Losers' Club (15:42) - a featurette about the child actors in the movie.
Author of Fear (13:51) - an extended interview with Stephen King, who talks at length about writing the book. He mentions that Derry was based off a town in Maine called Bangor.

Deleted scenes:

"Georgie Catches Boat (Opening Gag Scene)": When Georgie grabs for the boat in the opening...he gets it and walks away, saying "See you later!" to a frustrated Pennywise. Gotta admit, I laughed.
"Stanley's Dad corrects him (Extended scene)": Stanley is reciting Hebrew in a synagogue, but his Dad jumps in to correct his pronunciation.
"Denbrough family dinner": Bill sits at the dinner table while his Dad reads a magazine and his Mum washes up. Bill starts talking about their family trip for the year, but his Mum walks off upset. His Dad explains that Georgie was really looking forward to it.
"Bill's Dad looks in the basement, et all": After Bill has his encounter with Pennywise in the basement, he runs into his father. His Dad has a look in the basement, doesn't find anything, and tells Bill to go to bed. Meanwhile, Henry tries to sneak out past his Dad, and gets into a car with Victor and Belch. They see Mike ride past on his bike.
"Outside the Neibolt house": Mike, Beverly, Ben and Stanley are outside the house while Bill, Eddie and Richie are inside. Stanley talks about not being able to go inside while Mike comforts him. Ben places his hand on Beverly's shoulder.
"Evacuating the Neibolt house (Extended scene)": Just an extended scene of the Losers' Club leaving the house and getting on their bikes.
"Stanley's Bar Mitzvah speech": Self-explanatory. Stanley delivers a speech after his Bar Mitzvah about "indifference," during which there's a brief montage showing what the other kids are up to. He makes a bit of a scene and storms off while Richie claps.
"Eddie at Keene's pharmacy (Extended scene)": Just an extended scene at the pharmacy as Eddie talks to the girl who signs his cast with "Loser."
"Henry and Bullies wait outside (Extended scene)": As the Losers' Club heads into the Neibolt house, Henry sits in his car with his face covered in blood. Belch and Victor are dead with throats slit.
"The Losers find Georgie's walkie": Bill picks up Georgie's walkie right before Henry attacks Mike at the top of the well.
