We’re diving deep into the premiere episode of IT: Welcome to Derry — the chilling prequel that explores the terrifying origins of Pennywise and the cursed town that made him a legend. Set in 1962, this first chapter follows the mysterious disappearance of Matty Clemens, the strange military presence under Major Hanlon, and a series of horrifying events that remind us: evil never truly sleeps in Derry.
