It: Welcome to Derry Episode 3 Connects to Stephen King's Iconic Works
The trailer for It: Welcome to Derry Episode 3 intensifies the horror with clear nods to two of Stephen King's most beloved stories. The prequel series continues to deepen the lore surrounding Pennywise (played by Bill Skarsgard) and his previous killings.
Our review states the show “widens the story of the titular town (and clown), alongside the brutal uncompromising violence it inflicts on the entire cast.”
Director Andy Muschietti ensures horror fans receive plenty of jump scares, intense gore, and references to the broader King universe, enriching the series’ dark atmosphere.
References to King's Universe
The trailer notably features Dick Hallorann (Chris Chalk), a character familiar to King enthusiasts as the cook in The Shining. Hallorann encounters Danny Torrance and recognizes the boy’s psychic powers. The teaser explicitly reveals that the military is aware of Hallorann’s abilities and is leveraging them to track Pennywise.
Unexpected Link to The Shawshank Redemption
Besides The Shining, the trailer also alludes to The Shawshank Redemption, adding a surprising connection to another classic King story within the series.
This episode promises to expand the Stephen King universe while ramping up tension and mystery around Pennywise’s relentless terror.
