IT (2017) Movie Reaction: IT: Chapter Two (2019) Movie Reaction: Grab The New TARAfier Tee & Halloween Sweater: https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Stephen King's "IT" more popular than ever, the Scream Queens (Tara & Roxy) team up with Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) to give their IT: Welcome to Derry Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! Roxy Striar, Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon react to Episode 1 of IT: Welcome to Derry — the chilling new prequel series from Andy Muschietti & Barbara Muschietti (who brought us the films IT (2017) and IT: Chapter Two). Set in 1962 in the eerily haunted town of Derry, Maine, this first episode plunges us straight into the dark origins of the evil entity known as Pennywise and the terrifying undercurrents of a seemingly quiet town. The cast features Bill Skarsgård (reprising his role as Pennywise – Barbarian, Hemlock Grove) alongside Taylour Paige as Charlotte Hanlon (The Toxic Avenger), Jovan Adepo as Leroy Hanlon (Babylon), and Chris Chalk as Dick Hallorann (Perry Mason, Gotham)—all battling the rising terror that first gripped Derry. Stand-out, highly searched moments in this premiere include the opening bloodbath sequence that sets the tone for the season, the first eerie encounter with children hearing voices in the pipes, and the brief but bone-chilling glimpse of Pennywise emerging from darkness. With its mix of vintage 1960s Americana, supernatural dread, and Stephen King mythos, this premiere sets the stage for a horror saga that goes beyond jump scares — it digs into generational trauma, town secrets, and the evil that lingers just beneath the surface.
