From humble beginnings as a sarcastic response to a snarky Facebook comment, Alamo Drafthouse terrified coulrophobes with sold-out Clowns Only screenings of Stephen King’s “IT: Chapter One” in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Omaha, and Brooklyn. Folks took notice.
Are they back for the concluding chapter of Stephen King’s magnum opus? Oh yes. Clowns Only screenings are on sale now for “IT: Chapter 2,” director Andy Muschietti’s follow-up to 2017’s smash hit, a visceral and gleefully deranged story of small-town evil where even sweet old ladies can turn into nude psychotic killers in an instant.
This time Alamo Drafthouse has expanded their comically-oversized pants to bring Clown Only screenings to seventeen locations across the country. (The full list is below with dates.)
What does a Clowns Only screening mean? Well, it means… please come dressed as a clown. Wig, makeup, oversized pants and suspenders, blood-curdling makeup. Then you’ll watch the chilling conclusion to the biggest horror duology ever made with a theater full of fellow… clowns.
