The connections between It and The Shining could tell us what even Pennywise fears
Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
With the release of It and The Dark Tower (and, hell, even Gerald’s Game), more and more casual Stephen King fans are hearing tell of the “dark universe” that connects so many of his books. Pennywise and the Losers’ Club, for example, not only appear in It, but are also either referenced or seen in King books like The Tommyknockers, Insomnia, 11/22/63, Dreamcatcher, and more. A new video essay, however, shows how a reference in It to yet another King book could provide some insight into what makes the children at the heart of the story so special.
