It: Welcome to Derry expands the lore of Stephen King’s universe while cleverly incorporating references to his lesser-known works. In Episode 7, the show nods to Storm of the Century during the Black Spot incident, echoing the line “Give me what I want, and I’ll go away.” Co-creator Jason Fuchs emphasizes these references are intentional, creating connections within King’s mythology without being a mere collection of influences. This approach rewards dedicated fans with deeper insights into King’s storytelling.
