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. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Watched Clown in a Cornfield last night because I've been dying to see the movie since I read the book. I enjoyed the movie a lot, though it definitely had some genre identity crisis. All of it came together in a really fun time, though, and with a movie like this? That's fantastic. Well worth it!
unlabelledView post →Books to films 📚=🎞️ Clown in a Cornfield (2020) by Adam Cesare was filmed in 2025. The novel has a political subtext that is absent in the film. Other changes include altered backdrops though the small town visage remains. The film tightens the plot for greater tension. 🤡🩸🌽 #filmsky #booksky
