Take a Terrifying Trip with Frendo
For all you brave souls, you can track Frendo’s menacing journey across the United States by following the official social media accounts for @Shudder and @Clown_in_a_Cornfield. If you’re feeling particularly daring, and perhaps a little bit insane, you can try to track down the Frendo tour truck or one of the film’s unsettling “Don’t F*** With Frendo” posters that are sure to pop up in the wild. Suppose you snap a photo with the terrifying Clown or his ominous signage and post it using the hashtag #IFoundFrendo. In that case, you’ll be entered to win an exclusive prize pack, though we can’t guarantee it won’t include a lifetime supply of nightmares.
The Fright-Filled Film
Based on Adam Cesare’s award-winning novel, Clown in a Cornfield premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW. It currently holds a remarkable 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The talented Eli Craig, known for Tucker and Dale vs Evil, directed Clown in a Cornfield and co-wrote it with Carter Blanchard.

Will Sasso (“The Three Stooges”) and Kevin Durand (“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”) round out the cast.
In Clown in a Cornfield, we’re thrown into the seemingly quiet town of Kettle Spring. Quinn and her father have just moved in. However, their dreams of a peaceful new life are shattered as Quinn discovers a deeply fractured community. As tensions between the locals reach a boiling point, a sinister figure emerges from the town’s cornfields. This terrifying Clown has a bloody and singular mission: to cleanse Kettle Springs of its perceived burdens, one gruesome victim at a time.
