HBO Max万圣节突袭上线《小丑回魂：欢迎来到德里镇》特别篇：30分钟故事回溯小丑诞生之前
HBO Max在万圣节给了恐怖剧迷一份突袭礼物：当地时间10月31日午夜，剧集《小丑回魂：欢迎来到德里镇》（IT: Welcome to Derry）一集从未预告过的30分钟特别篇《德里的故事》（A Story of Derry）在毫无宣传的情况下上线，此前没有任何预告。
这集特别篇不接着第一季往下讲，而是把时间推回到潘尼怀斯现身之前的数百年：三名少年走进德里镇外的西部森林，撞上了盘踞当地的古老恐怖存在。它扩写了第一季第4集里一闪而过的起源闪回。主演是曾出演真人版《降世神通》的Kiawentiio，她饰演Necani；《暗夜西行》演员Zahn McClarnon惊喜出演。在正传中饰演小丑潘尼怀斯的比尔·斯卡斯加德本集没有出现。
特别篇由Tazbah Chavez执导，Cherie Dimaline与Jasmyne Flournoy编剧。HBO Max官方账号在上线后发帖确认了这集「从未公开的特别篇」，称其讲述的是「它」在德里镇的起源。
《欢迎来到德里镇》改编自斯蒂芬·金的《小丑回魂》，是两部卖座电影的前传：第一季2025年10月开播，故事设在1962年，是HBO Max史上首播表现最好的剧集之一。今年8月，HBO已续订第二季，新一季将回到1935年大萧条时期，围绕「布拉德利帮派」事件展开，播出日期尚未公布。
这已是HBO连续第二年在万圣节给这部剧「突袭加更」：2025年万圣节，该剧第2集曾提前两天放出。
HBO Max Drops Surprise 'It: Welcome to Derry' Halloween Special Set Centuries Before Pennywise
HBO Max handed horror fans a Halloween ambush: at midnight local time on October 31, a never-announced 30-minute special of 'IT: Welcome to Derry,' titled 'A Story of Derry,' appeared on the platform with zero advance promotion.
Rather than continuing Season 1, the special travels back centuries before Pennywise: three youngsters venture into the Western Wood outside Derry and encounter the ancient evil that haunts the town. It expands an origin flashback only glimpsed in Episode 4 of the first season. Kiawentiio, of the live-action 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' stars as Necani, with a surprise appearance by 'Dark Winds' actor Zahn McClarnon. Bill Skarsgård, who plays Pennywise in the main series, does not appear.
The special was directed by Tazbah Chavez and written by Cherie Dimaline and Jasmyne Flournoy. HBO Max's official account confirmed the drop afterward, describing the episode as a never-before-seen special exploring the origins of IT in Derry.
'Welcome to Derry,' based on Stephen King's 'It,' is a prequel to the two hit films. Season 1 premiered in October 2025, set in 1962, and ranked among HBO Max's biggest series launches ever. HBO renewed the show for a second season this August; the new season jumps back to 1935, during the Great Depression, and centers on the Bradley Gang, though no premiere date has been announced.
It is the second Halloween in a row that HBO has sprung a surprise on the show's fans: on Halloween 2025, Episode 2 of the first season was released two days early.
