Pennywise from IT (2017) is in front of a car from the Welcome to Derry promo.
Summary HBO’s Pennywise prequel Welcome to Derry could reference or depict moments from Stephen King’s books that the IT movies left out. With the increasing popularity of horror TV shows, HBO announced in March 2022 that they would make a prequel to the movies IT and IT: Chapter Two called Welcome to Derry. Since then, news about Welcome to Derry has continued to come out, increasing the hype surrounding the project.
While the Losers Club won’t appear in Welcome to Derry, the series could still introduce the cosmic being and his conflict with It. This would help with world-building and expanding the lore, providing background on the monster It’s origins. Maturin could try to intervene with his enemy’s inevitable murder spree. This could also help connect Welcome to Derry with the upcoming Dark Tower series. Maturin is one of the guardians of the Beams that uphold the dark tower.
The residents of Derry assembled and ambushed the Bradley Gang – a group of bandits who stopped in the town to buy ammo. The town murders them and just pretends that nothing happened. This is recounted to Mike by Norbert Keene, the owner of the drug store who witnessed the event and saw It. If HBO’s Welcome to Derry wants to connect the two events like they are in the book, they’ll need to move the Bradley Gang shooting into the 1960s.
6 The Battle Of Wills Welcome To Derry Could Include Part Of The Original Ritual of Chüd The Ritual of Chüd in IT: Chapter Two looks vastly different from what’s shown in the book. The ritual in Stephen King’s novel involves It and the opposing person biting down on each other’s tongues. The enemies of It then use jokes and the power of belief to attack the monster. Ultimately, this battle comes down to humor and imagination versus hatred and evil.
4 The 1740 Derry Massacre It Massacred The Settlers Of Derry The movie IT briefly alludes to the fact that the first settlers of Derry, Maine disappeared without a trace. Ben mentions that Derry started as a beaver hunting camp, and 91 people went missing, with only bloody clothes remaining to indicate what happened. In the book, around 340 people at the Derry settlement went missing, leaving a ghost town. Despite the number of people killed, the residents of Derry don’t talk about the massacre.
