In the premiere of “The Last of Us Part 2”, we were introduced to shamblers, implying that future mutations might emerge and join the ranks of runners, stalkers, clickers, and bloaters.

Stephen King is often considered a “master of horror” due to his vast body of work that spans over 60 novels and 200 short stories, many of which have been turned into movies, such as “The Green Mile,” “The Mist,” and “The Shawshank Redemption.” King’s literary achievements place him among the authors with the most book-to-movie adaptations, surpassed only by Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare. One of King’s upcoming live-action projects is a prequel series exploring the origins of his infamous character, Pennywise the Dancing Clown, as evidenced by the recent unveiling of the first poster for “IT: Welcome to Derry,” which is set to premiere on HBO in 2025.
