Clown in a Cornfield — a horror comedy from Tucker and Dave vs. Evil diector Eli Craig — is new in theaters. When will the movie be available to stream at home?
Rated R, Clown in a Cornfield opened in theaters on Friday. The summary for the film reads, “In Clown in a Cornfield, Quinn (Katie Douglas) and her father (Aaron Abrams) 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.”
Based on Adam Cesare’s acclaimed book of the same name, Clown in a Cornfield also stars Kevin Durand, Carson MacCormack and Will Sasso. The screenplay for Clown in a Cornfield was adapted by Craig and Carter Blanchard.
Clown in a Cornfield is an RLJE Films and Shudder release. The first stop for the film in the home entertainment marketplace will be on digital streaming via premium video on demand.
