If you've ever wanted a piece of Guillermo del Toro's imagination on your wall, your next movie ticket could put one within reach. Pan's Labyrinth is returning to theaters for its 20th anniversary, and the filmmaker is celebrating by giving fans a chance to win one of his doodles. The first drawing closed almost as quickly as it was announced, but Collider can exclusively reveal that another chance is coming this weekend.

The anniversary release arrives in U.S. theaters on October 9, with a new 4K restoration and a 3D conversion overseen by del Toro. Tickets are already on sale, so fans can make plans to revisit Ofelia's world on the big screen. Collider has learned that the final weekend drawing will run from Friday, September 25, through Sunday, September 27. To enter, fans should buy a ticket to Pan's Labyrinth during the drawing window and send proof of purchase by direct message to the movie's official Instagram account (@panslabyrinth20), following the instructions in its drawing post. In order to be eligible for the raffle, fans can purchase a ticket to any showing of the film in 3D or 4K after it opens in theaters on October 9.

'Pan's Labyrinth' Is Coming Back in 4K and 3D

The giveaway is a fitting one for a director whose creatures and characters are recognizable from a single sketch. Del Toro's Faun and Pale Man have been frightening and fascinating audiences for two decades, and the chance to own artwork from the person who brought that world to life gives this theatrical return a particularly personal touch. According to the team behind the release, the first raffle has already drawn more than 70,000 likes and 83,000 engagements. Of course, the movie itself is the bigger reason to get a ticket.

Pan's Labyrinth follows Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) as she moves with her mother to the military outpost commanded by her brutal new stepfather, Captain Vidal (Sergi López). There, a mysterious faun offers her a path into another world, though completing his three tasks is anything but a simple escape from the surrounding violence. The anniversary release offers two ways back into that world: the restored movie in 4K or its new 3D presentation. Whether you've watched it countless times or only know the Pale Man from images you wish you could forget, October 9 is a chance to see those creatures at theater size. For a few lucky fans, this weekend's drawing could send a little piece of del Toro's world home with them, too.

Pan's Labyrinth returns to U.S. theaters October 9.
