On behalf of RLJE Films/Shudder we have the teaser trailer for CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD, based on the Bram Stoker Award-Winning Horror Novel by Adam Cesare.


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.


CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD is directed by Eli Craig (Tucker and Dale vs Evil, Zombieland) from a script by Craig and Carter Blanchard—the film stars Katie Douglas (Level 16), Carson MacCormac (Shazam!), Aaron Abrams ("Hannibal"), Will Sasso (Drop Dead Gorgeous), and Kevin Durand (Abigail).


CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD will have its World Premiere on March 10, 2025, at SXSW, followed by a theatrical release on May 9, 2025.
