SPOILER WARNING: The following feature contains spoilers for both The Running Man and the latest episode of IT: Welcome To Derry. If you have not yet seen one or either, proceed with caution!
It feels like it was just yesterday that I was writing editions of The King Beat anticipating all six Stephen King adaptations set to be released in 2025, but the reality is that we are almost at the end of a very awesome year for Constant Readers. With Edgar Wright’s The Running Man in theaters, the last King movie of the year has arrived, and with Episode 5 of IT: Welcome To Derry premiering on Sunday, we will be more than halfway through the last King TV series of the year. But before I get too ahead of myself regarding the latter, I want to focus on Episode 4 of the HBO series and the scariest, freakiest scene on the show thus far.
