The Alamo Drafthouse has announced that it will be running a special ' merry andrew - only ' masking ofIT , where all attender must be dressed as clowns to get in . The cinema chain is known for their especial events and focus on right cinema etiquette , upright intellectual nourishment , and beverage ( include hard liquor ! ) , and they ’re doing something a little bit special for the vent of Stephen King’sITin a duo of week .
The film is free-base on King ’s novel of the same name - a story previously adapted as a 1990s TV miniseries that scared the pant off many fans as children . promise to be scarey by comparison , IT ( 2017)updates the setting from the ' 50s to the ' 80s , and promises to cash in on both the beloved of Stephen King and the recent success of ' 80 themed repulsion like Netflix’sStranger Things . Of course , there ’s no guarantee thatITwill be a huge succeeder , as King adaptations have something of a spotty track record , and this month’sThe Dark Towerwas a critical flop that angered fans of the series . Still , whetherITis marvellous or scarily bad , the Alamo Drafthouse is determined to have play with the release .
Alamo Drafthousehas now announced a special ' clown - only ' screening of the film to take place on Sept 9th at the Mueller location in Austin , Texas . The event commence with a pre - party earlier in the evening , where case - painting , photo booths and a raffle are promised , and all meeter are required to come in buffoon costumes in testimonial to the evil villain of the film , Pennywise .
This is n’t the first clock time that the Alamo Drafthouse has themed a particular screening to the matter of a film . The strand made headlines earlier this year with the release ofWonder Womanand the announcement of awoman - only screeningfor the moving-picture show . The covering sold out so quickly that the chain added multiple other woman - only viewing , but there was spate of recoil over the event as well . One man even launched a lawsuit against the chain , claim that the event was discriminatory .
It ’s unlike that there will be anything like that form of rebound against a goof - only masking , at least , as anyone can arrive as long as they slap on their facepaint and ' get quick to blow with us ' . Of of course , this event also entail that anyone with a fright of clowns is die to need to avoid this peculiar Drafthouse emplacement on the 9th , as we can only take on that rooter of the film are break down to go all - out - and that ’s going to entail a stack of scary clowns in one plaza !
