It: Welcome to Derry Connects Pays Off The Shining’s Iconic Scene

Like the series Castle Rock from 2018, It: Welcome to Derry offers a unique way to adapt Stephen King’s stories for television. Although it’s a prequel to the two It films, it doesn’t limit itself to that one story, instead borrowing characters and ideas from various other Stephen King books. A clear example of this is the inclusion of Dick Hallorann, a significant character from The Shining, as a central figure in the series.
