<p>Want to see Emma Stone's new film "Bugonia" before its wide release on Oct. 24? The Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film is having an early screening in Los Angeles on Monday, Oct. 20, at 8 p.m. However, there's a catch: in order to attend the screening at the Culver Theater on Monday night, all audience members must either arrive bald or with their heads shaved before entering the auditorium.</p>

<p>DoLA posted the screening's requirements on its Instagram page on Oct. 17, stating, "Are you bald, or willing to shave your head? On Monday, 10/20, head to the Culver Theater for a FREE advanced screening of 'Bugonia' – the new Focus Features fever dream from Yorgos Lanthimos, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons."</p>

<p>The post continues to note that a barber will be on-site starting at 6 p.m. to shave the heads of attendees who have hair. It also clarifies, "This is real. And yes, part of it will be filmed."</p>

<p>Though the screening is free for the hairless, tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and require an RSVP. Audience members must be 18 or older to attend the event.</p>

<p>The peculiar requirement is an homage to Emma Stone's character in the film, who is a bald-headed CEO who ends up kidnapped and suspected of being an alien. Alongside Stone and Plemons, the film also stars Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone.</p>

<p>"Bugonia" premiered at the Venice International Film Festival in August and has since led a thorough festival run, playing at Telluride, San Sebastián, AFI, Busan and more ahead of its forthcoming release. It marks the fourth collaboration between Lanthimos and Stone following 2018's "The Favourite," 2023's "Poor Things" and 2024's "Kinds of Kindness." Stone was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards for her performance in "The Favourite" and won Best Actress for her performance in "Poor Things."</p>
