So much for that "Pennywise is dead" talk in that Freddy vs Penny debate, they hinting at him still being alive :sas1:

How the shyt went with Halloran is how it would go with Freddy in the dream world, except worse since he needs fear for his powers to work.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think Pennywise can actually die. Its original form is the dead lights. You can destroy the body/shell but not the spirit at all.

In the books though, the monsters It manifests add a shred of mortality to It. Pennywise turns into a werewolf at one point and they attack it with silver, wounding It. Pennywise has to play by the rules of the creature It becomes.

As for the show, it's not like they "defeated" It per se, they just succeeded in trapping him, so he said fukk it and ducked out since It was supposed to be sleeping anyway.

Got it. Thanks man. I really need to read the book and start on the rest of the universe. Never really knew about Kings universe and dark tower, crimsom king etc lore but I’m interested now.

I wouldn't start Dark Tower until you knock out some of King's individual books. While DT is its own story, having knowledge of other aspects of King's universe make DT that much more enjoyable of a read. Lot's of :krs: moments for sure.

For Dark Tower, I'd say definite prior reads included (but aren't limited to)

Insomnia
IT
Salem's Lot
The Stand

And having watched Welcome to Derry, if you enjoyed dikk Halloran's character, The Shining and Doctor Sleep are great reads (The Shining book is better than the movie). Doctor Sleep is a great book AND movie.

THEY DEFINITELY DEFEATED IT.

HE WAS FLOATING ABOVE THE
LIMITS OF "CAGE" WHEN THEY
ACTIVATED THE "FORCE FIELD"
AND IT DISINTEGRATED HIM.

HE NEVER TRIED TO
LEAVE DERRY/STEP OVER THE LIMITS
FOR THAT VERY REASON.

NOW HE AWAKENS BACK
IN THE 1930S TO TRY AGAIN.

Yea he is an omnipotent and now omnipresent being which is why i think his prison is not only Derry but a time loop by Maturin. Seems like the only way to contain such a powerful being. Yea he eats 30 people every 27 years but how many billions are saved. Derry did that so hopefully we wont have to go through that

Best new show I've watched in years. Highly recommend if not adverse to horror. ( I'm not a huge fan of horror anymore but this is a great sci-fi/horror show )

So awesome they added dikk halloran to this as a main character
