Presented by Broke Horror Fan (that’s me!), Clown in a Cornfield is now available on fully functional VHS from Witter Entertainment.
Based on Adam Cesare‘s novel of the same name, Eli Craig (Tucker and Dale vs Evil) directs from a script he co-wrote with Carter Blanchard.
The slasher arrives on VHS with two variants: a standard slipcase for $30, and a book box edition featuring a gatefold cover and a white tape, limited to 150, for $45.
Each tape includes exclusive introductions by Craig and Cesare.
For optimal VHS viewing, the film has been cropped from its original aspect ratio to 4:3 full frame. It is officially licensed from Shudder and RLJE Films and approved by Craig.
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.
Katie Douglas (“Ginny & Georgia”), Carson MacCormac (Shazam), Aaron Abrams (“Hannibal”), Will Sasso (“Mad TV”), and Kevin Durand (Abigail) star.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “What begins as a straightforward slasher deftly shifts gears, tackling heady topics with infectious snark and bloodletting. It’s a rare film that speaks directly to its teen audience while refusing to water down the horror; Clown in a Cornfield knows its demographic is resilient enough to handle the terror just fine.”
Cesare is working on the fourth novel in the Clown in a Cornfield series.
