Come Dressed As Pennywise To Alamo Drafthouse Screening Of 'It'

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — The Alamo Drafthouse has a message for its horror movie fans: You’re It.

The neighborhoods’ favorite boozy movie house will host a special screening the new “It” remake and attendees will be asked to come dressed as terrifying gutter lurkers, also known as clowns.

“Be ready to float with us,” Drafthouse organizers warned.

Andrés Muschietti’s adaptation of the 1986 Stephen King classic, which debuts on Sept. 8, tells the story of a child-killing evil force that can be seen traipsing about town in the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

On Sept. 10, a theater in the Alamo Drafthouse at City Point will be filled with red-nosed fans trying to appear more terrifying than the admittedly creepy Pennywise portrayed by Bill Skarsgård.

The Drafthouse will provide make-up artists for clown face “touch-ups” and prizes for the best costumes.

More information about ticket prices and reservations is available on the Alamo Drafthouse website.

Organizers warn, “You’ll never look at an innocent red balloon the same way again.”
