Fans who were convinced they had spotted a sneaky Stephen King crossover in It: Welcome to Derry are about to be disappointed. The eerie new HBO Max series may expand the mythology of Pennywise and nod to The Dark Tower and The Shining, but its creators insist one popular theory is simply wrong.
Ever since the first trailer dropped in September, viewers have been buzzing about the thick fog that rolls through the town of Derry. Many were convinced it was a direct link to The Mist, another of King's most famous horror tales.
