It: Welcome to Derry Episode 5 sends fans rushing to underrated Stephen King movie

The show has added to Pennywise’s backstory and given Lily and her friends a potential way to defeat the creature, but we already know from the ‘It’ movies that he won’t be permanently destroyed and will return for another cycle of terror.
