Clown in a Cornfield is based on an incredibly fun 2020 novel of the same name by Adam Cesare. The story feels reminiscent of ’80s teen slashers, but filtered through a more modern lens that makes the whole thing feel like a welcome update to the genre rather than an obnoxious wink.

"Now tell me folks – are you a friend of Frendo?" 🤡 RLJE Films & Shudder have revealed the first look teaser trailer for Clown in a Cornfield, a kooky new horror film arriving in theaters in May at the start of the summer movie season.

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.
