Now that 'It,' the terrifying 1990s film that was inspired by Stephen King's novel of the same name has received a modern remake, 'The It Experience' was created to further promote it.
As the critically acclaimed remake is set to hit theaters on September 8th, The It Experience runs just before and after, from August 14th until September 10th. Located at Hollywood Blvd and Vine St, the haunted house experience is completely free of charge and open to anyone over the age of 18, due to the terrifying subject matter that it contains.
Although the reservations that were previously available are fully booked, those looking to see Pennywise up-close can sign up for the wait list or enter through the walk-up line.
