NYCC Horror Experience: “Face Your Fears”

The new series *IT: Welcome to Derry* made a big splash at New York Comic Con over the weekend. HBO hosted a frightening, interactive event called “Face Your Fears,” using artificial intelligence to build a chilling recreation of a 1960s bedroom full of scary surprises.

The immersive experience was open all weekend and ended with a frightening climax involving Pennywise the clown. Members of the show’s cast and crew even tried it out on Saturday, October 11th.

About the Series

As a huge fan of Stephen King and the *IT* movies, I’m really excited about *Welcome to Derry*. It’s a prequel series taking us back to the 1960s, before the events we saw in *IT* and *IT Chapter Two*. Basically, it’s going to dive into how Pennywise first came to be and uncover all the creepy history of Derry. It’s promising to build on everything Andy Muschietti and Stephen King created, expanding the world and lore we already love.
