“There is a psycho dressed up like Frendo trying to kill us!” 🤡 RLJE Films & Shudder have debuted the full official trailer for Clown in a Cornfield, which was initially playing in front of screenings of Ash this past weekend. It’s set to open in theaters in May – and reviews from SXSW are very, very positive, calling it one of the scariest new horror movies of the year (so far). It looks seriously vicious. Welcome to Kettle Springs! A fading midwestern town in which Frendo the Clown, a symbol of bygone success, reemerges as a terrifying scourge. 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 – until a sinister, grinning figure emerges from the cornfields to cleanse the town of its burdens. Based on the horror book of the same name. The film stars Katie Douglas, Carson MacCormac, Aaron Abrams, Will Sasso, and Kevin Durand. A brand new horror from the director of the horror comedy cult classic Tucker and Dale vs Evil! This should be brutal – there’s a nasty mix of violent horror and ridiculous humor in this final trailer. Beware of Frendo.

Here’s the full official trailer for Eli Craig’s horror film Clown in a Cornfield, direct from YouTube:
