To celebrate the launch of the brand-new HBO® Original Series, IT: Welcome to Derry, the Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace will transform into the infamously creepy town from the IT novels and movies, offering a unique choose-your-own-torture screening of the first episode. 

For those who like to hide behind their hands and cuddle up with something for extra protection, Safe Mode will offer a cosy, cushion-filled space with gentle lighting and a ‘we got you, boo’ vibe. Or, for those who like to live dangerously, Scream Mode has a super eerie atmosphere, spine-tingling surprises, and next-level jump scares to keep you firmly at the edge of your seat. Will you err on the side of caution or go for full-throttle horror? The choice is yours…
