This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes back comic book retailer Paul Eaton to the program to discuss the Clown in a Cornfield movie!

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. Welcome to Kettle Springs. The real fun starts when Frendo the clown comes out to play.

The film was directed by Eli Craig (Tucker & Dale vs. Evil), written for screen by Craig and Carter Blanchard based on the 2020 horror novel by Adam Cesare, and produced by Temple Hill Entertainment (Smile). Clown in a Cornfield stars Katie Douglas as Quinn Maybrook, Aaron Abrams as Dr. Maybrook, Carson MacCormac as Cole, Kevin Durand as Arthur Hill, Will Sasso as Sheriff Dunne, and Vincent Muller as Rust.

Clown in a Cornfield hit theaters on May 9, 2025 and is now playing!
