‘Haunting and magical’: Welcome to Derry creators on Derry’s finale fight against Pennywise

The chilling tale from the first season of It: Welcome to Derry has finally come to an end, with the town enduring one last massacre at the hands of Pennywise the Clown.
Titled Winter Fire, the episode was set in an icy, cold surrounding after the military successfully took down one of the supernatural monster’s shelters. It is then that Pennywise starts targeting the rest of the kids.
While Lily, Marge, and Ronnie set off to bring Pennywise’s menace to a stop, following the trail of blood he left behind, the adults are also shown hatching their own plans to defeat the monstrous force.
What ensues over the course of the finale episode is a massive showdown that producer-director Andy Muschietti described as ‘haunting and magical and spectacular.’ Speaking on the same, series creators Muschietti and Barbara emphasised how the climax’s liminal environment was not an intentional nod to Stephen King, but an overlap in the universe referring to words like ‘The Shining’ and ‘The Shawshank Redemption’.
