The seventh episode of ‘It: Welcome to Derry’ is getting a lot of buzz because of how it portrays the Black Spot tragedy. Director Andy Muschietti recently discussed the creative choices he made while filming the episode.

In an interview with Variety, director Andy Muschietti revealed the Black Spot has always been a crucial element of the story, particularly in the segments that shaped the series’ structure.
