Episode 4 of IT: Welcome to Derry has left viewers shaken, with a heart-stopping sequence that sees Marge Truman's eyes turn into a horror movie nightmare. In a shocking turn of events, Matilda Lawler's character tries to fix her grotesquely distorted eyes with a table saw, adding to the show's wildest scenes yet. The transformation begins when Marge, still reeling from a petty scheme, is hit with a wave of guilt as she sits in science class. That's when Pennywise strikes, causing her pupils to stretch into slimy stalks that knock her glasses off. Marge's desperate attempt to grab a tool and fix herself only leads to more chaos, as students rush in to find a bloody scene and a stunned Marge on the ground. Lawler, who played the role, revealed that the intense scene was a mix of real and CGI effects, with a prosthetic covering half her face and wires used for the snail eyes. The actor admitted that she was a bit freaked out by the eye effects, but the crew made it easier with the prosthetics. The episode takes a darker turn as it delves deeper into Derry's lore, revealing the town's long history with Pennywise. Shaw brings in Dick Halloran, who uncovers the indigenous community's centuries-old struggle to contain the creature, only to have colonists unleash him again. This reframes the entire story, hinting at a town built on an old wound and a monster tied to it. The episode raises several questions, including why Marge's eyes transform in the first place. According to the show, Pennywise targets her during a moment of guilt and fear. Lawler performed the scene with real prosthetics, and the table-saw moment was created through a combination of prosthetics and VFX. The episode expands on the lore from the original IT and brings Halloran deeper into the story, connecting it to Stephen King's universe. With its gruesome transformation and deeper dive into Derry's lore, Episode 4 of IT: Welcome to Derry is a must-watch for fans of the show.
