In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, Jake and Sarah discuss HBO’s IT: Welcome to Derry, the prequel series that expands the terrifying world of Stephen King’s It. Set in 1962, the series takes viewers back to Derry, Maine, decades before the Losers’ Club faced Pennywise, exploring the town’s dark history, the Black Spot, the Hanlon family, Dick Hallorann, and the cycles of fear that allow evil to survive.
Jake and Sarah break down each episode of Welcome to Derry, discussing the major story beats, standout horror moments, recurring themes, and connections to Stephen King’s larger universe, including The Shining, Doctor Sleep, and the Muschietti It films. They also talk about Pennywise’s expanded mythology, the role of grief and memory, Derry’s history of violence, and whether learning more about the creature makes it scarier or takes away some of its mystery.
If you’re a fan of Stephen King, Pennywise, It, HBO horror, or supernatural horror with deeper social themes, this episode is for you.
