Coulrophobes steer clear: Alamo Drafthouse is hosting a clown-only screening of Stephen King's 'It'
Who's afraid of clowns? Not the Alamo Drafthouse, apparently.
Following the massive success of their women-only screenings of Wonder Woman, the theater has announced a special clown-only screening of Stephen King's It.
The event will be preceded by a pre-party at the Barrel O' Fun – Alamo Drafthouse Austin's carnival-themed bar – that includes face-painting, a photo booth, a raffle, and other cool, fun, definitely not at all terrifying activities.
As of now, the clown-only It screening is only planned for the chain's Austin location.
But hey, those all-female Wonder Woman screenings started with plans for a single showing in Austin, before widespread demand convinced the company to roll them out with other locations. If the clown community rallies, maybe the same thing will happen to It.
The clown-centric It screening is actually a callback to one very specific comment that the Drafthouse received when they first announced the women-only Wonder Woman screening:
Did you think the Drafthouse was kidding, Ryan? They were not kidding.
It is in theaters September 8. For more info on the Drafthouse's all-clown showing, click here.
