So what exactly does a movie called Clown In A Cornfield look like? Well, RLJE Films and Shudder have snagged the rights to Eli Craig’s next film, Clown In A Cornfield. The film stars Katie Douglas, Carson MacCormac, Aaron Abrams, Will Sasso, and Kevin Durand. The film releases wide theatrically on May 9th, 2025. The screenplay comes from Carter Blanchard and Craig. Here’s a synopsis of the film.

CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD follows Quinn (Douglas) and her father (Abrams), who 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.

Here’s what Craig had to say about the film.

“I’m thrilled to partner with RLJE Films and Shudder to release this insanely fun action, horror, comedy where we always wanted it to be seen — in theaters! As always in my movies, there’s a deeper theme about the collision of perspectives and ideals that leads to utter mayhem. It was fun in this one, however, to let the horror thrills take the lead, while the comedic absurdity that I can’t help but see in life brings a bit of levity.”

The movie is adapted from the book series that started in 2020 with Clown In A Cornfield, and then followed by two more books, Clown In A Cornfield II: Frendo Lives, and Clown In A Cornfield III: The Church of Frendo.
