A Twisted Tale

As tensions simmer and the locals find themselves at odds, a figure, Frendo, emerges from the town’s cornfields. This menacing clown has a singular and bloody purpose: to cleanse Kettle Springs of its perceived burdens, one victim at a time. Prepare for a terrifying ride that blends small-town secrets with slasher mayhem, all led by Fendo, a clown guaranteed to give you nightmares.
