Plot Summary

Clown in a Cornfield is a 2025 American horror slasher directed and co-written by Eli Craig (of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil) with a screenplay by Craig and Carter Blanchard. The film is adapted from Adam Cesare’s 2020 novel of the same name and stars Katie Douglas as Quinn Maybrook, Aaron Abrams as her father, Carson MacCormac, Kevin Durand, and Will Sasso in key roles. Set in the fictional Midwestern town of Kettle Springs, the story begins with Quinn settling into her new home following a personal loss. Hoping for a fresh start, she quickly learns that the town’s economy has collapsed since the local corn syrup factory shut down. Amid simmering tensions between locals and rumors of an old clown-mascot murder mystery, a terrifying presence emerges from the cornfields, targeting the area’s youth. Clown in a Cornfield blends classic slasher tropes with modern horror sensibilities, balancing gory kills with suspense and a touch of dark humour. The film premiered at South by Southwest on March 10, 2025, and opened in U.S. theaters on May 9, 2025. It has since become a notable entry in the 2020s horror slate, appealing to fans of killer-clown and cornfield-set horror.
