Eli Craig's (Tucker & Dale vs. Evil) slasher Clown in a Cornfield creeps ever closer to its May 9 theatrical release, with Shudder and RLJE Films debuting a brand new trailer today that teases more coulrophobic chaos.
Based on Adam Cesare’s Bram Stoker Award-winning novel of the same name, Clown in a Cornfield stars Katie Douglas, Carson MacCormac, Aaron Abrams, Will Sasso, and Kevin Durand.
In Clown in a Cornfield:
Quinn and her father have just moved to the quiet town of Kettle Springs hoping for a fresh start. Instead, she discovers a fractured community that has fallen on hard times after the treasured Baypen Corn Syrup Factory burned down.
As the locals bicker amongst themselves and tensions boil over, a sinister, grinning figure emerges from the cornfields to cleanse the town of its burdens, one bloody victim at a time. Welcome to Kettle Springs. The real fun starts when Frendo the clown comes out to play.
Released in 2020, Cesare's Clown in a Cornfield was followed by a sequel, Clown in a Cornfield II: Frendo Lives, in 2022, with a third, Clown in a Cornfield III: The Church of Frendo, released last year. Cesare has also teased a fourth on the way, details TBA.
Watch the brand new trailer below, and for more Clown in a Cornfield, make sure to grab the next issue of FANGORIA, in which Adam Cesare visits the set, and reports on the surreal experience of watching his own creation be adapted to film.
