It: Welcome to Derry "A Story of Derry" 9/10
I think it was the day before Halloween that my lady told me that this even existed. I had not seen any trailers or hurt anybody talking about this. This was a short but it was very cool. This takes place a few hundred years before the Welcome To Derry season began. We had seen parts of this and heard stories during season one of Welcome To Derry but it was cool to get this actual little episode about the Native tribes dealing with this monster in the woods that would eventually become Pennywise. So there's this tribe living outside the woods where the creature is. This one little girl is like “I'm tired of this because we running out of food and all these colonizers showing up and hunting too much and venturing into the woods and I'm going in there and check things out.” Everyone else is like “No, you absolutely should not do that because there's a monster in the woods!” She doesn't believe there is. So she goes and then her friend comes with her and this young boy who I thought was a girl for most of the episode forces them to take him with them.
They end up going and of course start seeing all these nightmare visions and everything and running and then this guy shows up and scares them all away. He takes them back to his cave and tells them the story and we actually get to see the damn turtle after he does some drugs. This turtle has been hinted at in every form of the movies and the TV series but this is the first time we actually get to see it and it was awesome. The young boy has to go to the bathroom and when he steps outside he starts seeing all these body parts and he's like wait a second we're sitting here eating meat. He realizes that this man has killed these people and these young children are now snacking on human meat parts. He goes back in there and warns them not to eat anymore and the older guy is like “Eat your food.” They end up escaping from him and snatch up his special drugs and go running away hiding.
He ends up getting attacked by a gigantic ghost moose because he was treating Pennywise as a god and sacrificing all these different people to him. The kids make it back and they have a piece of a dagger which is what the guy had used to scare these entities created by Pennywise away. The series Welcome To Derry had me thinking there was a far more noble way that they had retrieved this piece but there was not. The little girl ends up smoking some more of that good shit and speaks to the turtle and finds out where the cave is and they start getting pieces of the rock to lock Pennywise inside that forest. This is a cool ass thing and I actually would like to see a couple more just random short stories concerning Derry.
