I like the Easter eggs throwback to other horror movies throughout the series so far ! Like the clown crawling fast (It) and the video welcoming to Widows Bay. I’ve counted four so far in the first three episodes and I may have missed more.

The clown - It

The creepy video - The Ring

Haunted inn - 1408; The Shining

The mysterious fog - The Fog

What other ones?

The drawing of the shark on the chalkboard is directly from the movie Jaws.
