The movie antagonistic burns and distorts connected the surface arsenic the flying demon – or, arsenic Phil calls it, “a elephantine fucking mutant baby” – attacks Teddie, Phil, and Susie portion Lilly hides nether the seats. The monster picks disconnected Teddie first, thrashing him astir and smashing his caput into the ceiling.

Andy Muschietti connected Killing Off the Show’s Would-Be Losers’ Club
I precocious chatted with Welcome to Derry enforcement shaper Andy Muschietti astir the play premiere and the prime to termination disconnected astir of the pb kids astatine the extremity of the archetypal episode, and whether that was meant to marque it wide to audiences that Welcome to Derry wasn’t going to beryllium a rehash of the IT movies.
Muschietti, who directed the IT movies and the play premiere of Welcome to Derry arsenic good arsenic The Flash, said sidesplitting disconnected Teddie, Phil, and Susie was “a communicative instrumentality to fundamentally get radical successful that mindset wherever nary 1 is harmless successful this world, adjacent intelligibly the ones that you're going to travel implicit the remainder of the show. So yeah. It was besides similar kicking the chin, that unexpected happening that volition hook the assemblage into wanting to support watching, probably.”
Muschietti besides spoke astir the thought of commencement fearfulness contiguous successful the show, particularly successful the signifier that Pennywise takes successful this episode.
“I deliberation there's a precise choky nexus to 1 of the themes of Stephen King's book. For radical who work the book, the Losers, erstwhile they travel backmost 30 years later, they each recognize that they don't person kids, successful their 40s, nary of them person kids, and astir apt volition ne'er have. And that's a mode of saying that these guys are subliminally terrified of bringing kids into this horrific world,” Muschietti explained.
“And it's 1 of those lingering questions. It's ne'er truly solved. In the book, it's each questions that are, astir of which are ne'er answered, but it makes you deliberation astir it. And I deliberation that's 1 of the themes, and that's wherefore the babe happening is simply a recurring thing, and commencement is simply a horrific lawsuit [that] is brought [up] implicit and over.”

“They're terrified due to the fact that determination mightiness beryllium a large bang anytime soon, and they're instructed to spell nether the tables successful lawsuit of an attack, which is ridiculous. But that's 1 of the fears of the era. And commencement defects, radiation was 1 of the things. I took that and combined it with the thought of the fearfulness of birth, and that's however the scare was created.”
DC Comics Easter Eggs?
Finally, eagle-eyed DC fans shouldn’t work into the value of Teddie speechmaking Detective Comics #298, the archetypal quality of the 2nd Clayface, Matt Hagen, though you could beryllium forgiven for reasoning that it was intentional, arsenic Clayface is, similar Pennywise, a shape-shifter.
“No, no. It was conscionable the inclusion of the satellite of DC, which is precise adjacent to my heart, and I wanted to see it. Because we enactment Flash connected the erstwhile scene, there's an contented of Flash, past we included 1 that was Detective Comics, but it wasn't intended. It wasn't due to the fact that of Clayface. It was conscionable an contented of 1962 that I happened to deliberation it was precise appropriate,” Muschietti said. “I can't retrieve now, but I'm a 100 percent definite that our props maestro brought that with that intention.”

For much coverage, work our IT: Welcome to Derry play premiere review, which Tom Jorgensen gave a people of 8 retired of 10, writing:
“The archetypal occurrence accomplishes its astir important task of re-establishing Derry and Pennywise with benignant and immoderate expertly-drawn retired tension, though immoderate of the much CG-heavy scares autumn flat. Indirectly honoring a fashionable critique of the novel, the kids’ broadside of the communicative is (so far) mode much compelling than the adults’, but Pennywise has hardly begun to poke his red-tufted caput retired of the sewer, truthful there’s plentifulness of clip for that storyline to commencement floating.”
