It: Welcome To Derry’s Post-Credits Scene Makes 1 Movie Moment More Tragic

by

MAJOR SPOILERS for It: Welcome To Derry season 1 are ahead!

The new series, Welcome to Derry, features a haunting scene before and after the credits that adds a deeper layer of sadness and horror to a moment from It: Chapter Two. Many viewers correctly figured out that the character Ingrid was actually Mrs. Kersh. After witnessing the terrifying Deadlights in Welcome to Derry, she suffers a mental breakdown and is committed to Juniper Hill Asylum for life. The post-credits scene shows events unfolding from her point of view.

Twenty-six years after being committed, Mrs. Kersh is painting in her room when she’s startled by a terrifying scream. She investigates and finds a woman who has taken her own life, with the woman’s husband and daughter understandably devastated. When the daughter turns around, Mrs. Kersh realizes it’s Sophia Lillis, playing Beverly Marsh.

This scene depicts the moment Beverly’s mother takes her own life – an event alluded to in the films but never directly shown. Beyond being difficult to watch, this scene, which follows the end of It: Welcome to Derry, adds a new layer of sadness to a moment from the second It movie.

Mrs. Kersh Is A Reminder Of The Worst Day Of Beverly Marsh’s Life

I was reading an interview with Jason Fuchs, one of the creators of It: Welcome to Derry, and he finally explained something that’s been bugging me since the prequel! He revealed why It appears as Mrs. Kersh. Apparently, it all comes down to Beverly Marsh’s most traumatic experience. Fuchs said that the day Beverly’s mother died by suicide was also the day she first encountered Mrs. Kersh – so that’s the connection. It doesn’t matter if Beverly consciously remembers it in that moment, but that day was the worst of her life, and It latched onto that.

In It: Chapter Two, Beverly appears uneasy around Mrs. Kersh, and we initially think it’s simply because being back in that place brings up painful memories. But it’s more likely that Beverly instinctively understands Mrs. Kersh represents the source of her deepest trauma.

Pennywise Taking The Form Of Mrs. Kersh In It: Chapter Two Shows How Twisted He Is

Everyone understands that It is a truly evil being. It commits horrific acts, like brutally harming children and even decapitating people. Therefore, it isn’t shocking that when Beverly Marsh encounters It in It: Chapter Two, It appears as Mrs. Kersh.

The situation is actually even more disturbing and heartbreaking when you consider who Mrs. Kersh is and her connection to Beverly. It’s unsettling to watch the scene in It: Chapter Two where It takes on the form of Mrs. Kersh. It’s especially chilling when It says, “You know what they say about Derry. No one who dies here is ever really gone,” knowing the full story.

He recalls the real Mrs. Kersh saying this on the day Beverly’s mother died by suicide, as shown in the ending credits of It: Welcome to Derry. Using someone’s suicide as a form of torment feels especially cruel and disturbing. Pennywise truly demonstrates there are no boundaries to his evil.
