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 Itscreening is only planned for the chain's Austin location.

But hey, those all-female Wonder Womanscreenings 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 Itscreening is actually a callback to one very specific comment that the Drafthouse received when they first announced the women-only Wonder Womanscreening:
