Dick Hallorann connects Derry to the Overlook Hotel. It depicts him as a young cook helping people escape the Black Spot fire in a recollection of Derry’s past. The Shining later depicts the same named cook communicating psychically with Danny Torrance, and Doctor Sleep continues that relationship. The Derry episode is a remembered event, rather than Hallorann joining the Losers’ main story.

Beverly Marsh and Richie Tozier provide another direct connection: 11/22/63 depicts the two children together in Derry, practicing a dance. Their names, shared town and childhood friendship tie that encounter to the characters in It. A brief meeting can establish a crossover even when it does not continue the original novel’s central plot.
