The third episode of It: Welcome to Derry raises the suspense with clear nods to two of Stephen King’s most iconic stories. The new trailer continues the eerie tone of the series, blending the horror mythos of Derry with moments that connect deeply to King’s literary universe.
The prequel series expands on Pennywise’s history, portrayed by Bill Skarsgård, adding mystery and insight into his earlier terrors. According to one review, 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 that horror fans get plenty of frights, gore, and Easter eggs drawn from the broader Stephen King world. Episode 3’s trailer offers the most striking references yet, linking the series to two of King’s most beloved novels.
Connections to The Shining and The Shawshank Redemption
Viewers acquainted with King’s work will notice that the show features Dick Hallorann, played by Chris Chalk. Hallorann later appears as the cook at the Overlook Hotel in The Shining, where he recognizes Danny Torrance’s psychic powers.
The teaser shows that the military is aware of Hallorann’s abilities and is attempting to use them to locate the being known as Pennywise.
Beyond that, the trailer subtly alludes to The Shawshank Redemption, intertwining Derry’s dark lore with another corner of King’s interconnected universe.
