Hello and happy Friday! As you prepare for a fun-filled end-of-summer weekend, the last thing you want is to be plagued by visions of a movie theater packed with menacing clowns. But, alas, we find ourselves facing such a nightmare because a theater in Austin, Texas, is hosting an all-clown screening of the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s “It.”
Yes, you read that right—an all-clown event. The masterminds behind this creepy gathering are the same folks that organized all-women screenings of Wonder Woman earlier this year, proving that Alamo Drafthouse knows how to create memorable experiences, albeit ones that may cause you to clutch your seat in terror. Just the thought of a dimly lit theater filled with folks dressed as clowns—whether professional or not—makes me want to curl up in a ball.
And let’s not forget, this movie is genuinely terrifying! If you need a reminder, check out the trailer. Who would willingly choose to watch it surrounded by a bunch of clowns in the dark? Not me, that’s for sure.
According to the theater’s website, attendees are encouraged to show up in their best clown attire on September 9th. “Please arrive in your own Pennywise best and be ready to float with us,” they say. Um, no thanks.
The event features a pre-party filled with “face-painters for clown touch-ups,” a photo booth, raffles, and what they call “other terrifying merriment.” Merriment? More like a potential horror show! I know “murderment” isn’t a real word, but these are odd times we’re living in—can we please skip the all-clown screenings of “It”?
The clown extravaganza is set to take place at three Alamo Drafthouse locations, with one already sold out. But good news—the Slaughter Lane location still has tickets available. Slaughter Lane, where you can watch “It” surrounded by a group of stab-happy clowns. Yikes!
