'The First Omen Experience': SXSW festivalgoers step into confessional booth in Downtown Austin

If you don't handle scares well, it's best to avoid the booth. 😱

AUSTIN, Texas — It's day two of South by Southwest (SXSW), and there are several things for people to see in Downtown Austin.

The festival has already taken over the city, with more than 300,000 people expected over the next week. Right now, the film portion of the conference is going on.

On Saturday, festivalgoers waited in line to try “The First Omen Experience,” a confessional booth inspired by upcoming supernatural horror film.

Guests should be prepared to get scared as they step into a confessional booth to find out about “The First Omen,” right in Downtown Austin. The interactive experience allows guests to “uncover a terrifying secret behind the birth of evil, leaving them with the only physical proof that a sinister unholy conspiracy is at work.”

"It's worth it. I’m ready to see the movie at this point. I hope it's that good," said Whitney Carter, who took part in the experience.

“The First Omen” is a prequel to “The Omen,” which was released in 1976 and again as a remake in 2006.

You have until Tuesday to experience the confessional booth yourself. We're told that if you don't handle scares well, it's best to avoid the booth. It runs from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. at two locations: 712 Congress Ave. and 310 E. Second St.
