IT: Welcome to Derry doubles down on history and fear in Season 1, Episode 2 (“The Thing in the Dark”), linking Pennywise’s past to a bullet-riddled Depression-era car, a Cold War black-ops project called “Operation Precept,” and the Hanlon family’s first week in town. The cross-title cameo isn’t just fan service; it grounds the episode’s last-act revelations in a power set that King readers already understand—and it places Hallorann beside Leroy as a crucial counterweight to the military’s hubris. Expect Episode 3 to return to the excavation, the military’s timetable, and the consequences of forcing kids to carry the weight adults refuse to see.
