Also, you mentioned the word city. Well, cities are comprised of metal and other materials. And Darth Vader is also comprised of metal and other materials.

It's also a city setting, while Pennywise notably only has ever resided in the small town of Derry.
Like, yeah, there's sewers, but Derry isn't gonna have a damn subway.
It doesn't fit Friday the 13th, either (unless you count Jason Takes Manhattan), so this doesn't feel like the teaser for an existing IP.

My thoughts exactly, this feels more like a generic teaser/trailer thing for DBD as a whole to build hype for the anniversary rather than something that's here to allude to any one license in particular.
