This week on **Comedyville Horror Podcast**, we’re doing something a little different: we’re putting two horror shows head-to-head after watching their first episodes — **IT: Welcome to Derry** vs. **Ash vs. Evil Dead**! First up, we dive into **Welcome to Derry**, the creepy prequel to the IT movies. We talk about the new Pennywise, the differences from Tim Curry’s version, the bizarre demon baby, the kids investigating Maddie’s disappearance, the disturbing racism throughout the episode, and that absolutely insane theater scene that ends with a LOT of dead kids. We also somehow spend a shocking amount of time talking about old-school movie projectors, newspaper archives, college textbooks, and how apparently nobody knew how to use the internet back then. Then we jump into **Ash vs. Evil Dead**, where Bruce Campbell brings back everyone’s favorite chainsaw-wielding idiot. We talk about Ash’s ridiculous lifestyle, his encounter with a Deadite at the bar, the Necronomicon, the creepy cops, the tiny demon doll, Pablo and Kelly joining the chaos, and that gloriously gory chainsaw finale. So which show wins the battle? **Welcome to Derry** brings the creepy atmosphere, mystery, trauma, and some seriously WTF moments. **Ash vs. Evil Dead** brings gore, ridiculousness, one-liners, chainsaws, and exactly the kind of horror-comedy we love. We give our first-episode ratings, debate which show we’d keep watching, and decide what horror shows we should battle next. And yes… we also complain about streaming-service commercials, because apparently paying for a subscription isn't enough anymore. **Subscribe, follow, and let us know: Which one would you pick — Ash vs. Evil Dead or Welcome to Derry?** And if you didn't enjoy the episode… well, f**k off. #ComedyvilleHorrorPodcast #AshVsEvilDead #WelcomeToDerry #HorrorPodcast #HorrorComedy #HorrorTV #BruceCampbell #ITWelcomeToDerry Text the show Support the show
