Entertainment Squad’s genre label, The Horror Collective, has just snagged the worldwide rights to the Halloween-set horror movie Super Happy Fun Clown, the latest horror-comedy from director Patrick Rea! This bloody good time is set for its international premiere next month at London’s prestigious FrightFest!
Jenn-O the Clown: A Killer Halloween!
Described as a “blood-soaked, darkly comedic slasher,” Super Happy Fun Clown stars Jennifer Seward (I Am Lisa). She plays a former child prodigy who transforms into Jenn-O the Clown. Wielding twisted inspirations drawn from classic movie monsters and infamous killers, Jenn-O unleashes chaos during one unforgettable Halloween night.
Early buzz from its recent Panic Fest highlights the film’s unique blend of “playful, sometimes silly” tones with “unbridled slaughter,” all grounded by Seward’s arresting, visceral performance.
The film is produced by Eric Winkler and Patrick Rea, with Winkler also credited as the writer. This creative duo previously brought us the female-driven werewolf/revenge film I Am Lisa!
What the Creators Are Saying!
“This is a character piece wrapped in a slasher candy shell,” said director Patrick Rea. “We wanted something emotionally raw yet gleefully unhinged and Jenn-O delivers both in spades. The Horror Collective is the perfect partner to unleash her on the world.”
Writer/producer Eric Winkler added: “While we’re honored to help rectify a glaring lack of female clown horror movies, the film is ultimately an exploration of the blurring lines of what it means to be successful. Do you feel empathy for Jenn-O? Should you?”
And from the excitement backstage in London, Greg Day, FrightFest co-director, shared his thoughts on the premiere buzz: “Fans are already responding with excitement to Super Happy Fun Clown – Patrick Rea’s super serial killer clown spree. Like his previous FrightFest hits I Am Lisa and They Wait in The Dark, it’s a title people will queue up for, and we expect the reaction to be hugely positive.”
Catch the Clown at FrightFest!
Super Happy Fun Clown will play on Sunday, August 24th, at 4:00 PM, in Odeon LUXE West End, Screen 1. Get ready for a Halloween night you won’t forget!
