Talking Scared

Off Book #9 – Eli Craig & Clown in a Cornfield


Listen Later

Send in the clowns!

 

In this Off Book episode I talk to Eli Craig, director of cult-classic Tucker and Dale vs Evil, and the man who put Clown in a Cornfield up on the big screen.

 

After crowbarring my way into his press day, I asked him what drew him to the project, what else there is to ‘do’ with scary clowns and slashers in cinema, and what this movie has to say about Middle America right now.

 

We go deeper than you’d expect for a movie about clowns chasing kids with chainsaws.

 

Enjoy

 

Clown in a Cornfield is in cinemas from May 9th.
