Stephen King's horror epic IT has been adapted several times to the screen, most recently in the popular IT movie and TV franchise directed by Barbara and Andy Muschietti and produced by Warner Bros. Discovery and HBO. For horror film fans and afficionados, Port Hope is known as "the real-life Derry, Maine," the fictional small town where IT, the terrifying child-snatching clown Pennywise, lurks.

Tour the IT filming locations in Port Hope (in daylight)!

If you've seen the movies and TV series, you'll recognize many iconic Derry landmarks, like the Memorial Park bandshell, the Capitol Theatre marquee, and the eerie mural behind "Quality Meats" (where you can still find the back door sign and mural for a souvenir selfie). Pick up a copy of the IT Walking Tour brochure or follow along on your smartphone on the digital tour map that shows you every creep set location from the movies and TV show.

Spot all the famous locations from the films!

For more claims to fame and stories of Port Hope, take a Heritage Walking and Driving Tour while you're in town.

The Capitol Theatre was the location of the Derry movie theatre and its lobby the arcade where the Losers' Club hung out.

Port Hope’s Visitors Centre doubled as the Derry Chamber of Commerce. The grown Losers saw their younger selves reflected in the windows.

Queen Street was the site of Fourth of July parade in It Chapter 1.

“Largo” was the top secret name given to the filming of It Chapter 2. Fans were well aware of the filming despite efforts to keep it secret.

In the alley between Walton Street and Brogden’s Lane a mural depicts the history of Derry. It’s a great selfie location for visitors to Port Hope.
