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.
In this episode, John and Rossie break down:
💀 The setup of Derry’s haunting history
🎭 The return (and reinvention) of Pennywise
🎬 Performances, tone, and world-building
🎈 How this connects to IT (2017) and Chapter Two
🤔 Whether this prequel can stand on its own
Whether you’re a Stephen King die-hard, a Pennywise fanatic, or just love great horror storytelling, this is the place to be every week. We’re not just reviewing — we’re building a horror hangout where your opinions matter.
