Directed by Eli Craig, CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD introduces us to Quinn Maybrook (Katie Douglas) as she and her father move into the small town of Kettle Springs after the death of her mother. But Quinn quickly discovers that the kids in town aren't alright, at least according to the adults. Blamed for everything that goes wrong, the youth don't get any respect (so they don't give any either). However, when Frendo, a clown-faced symbol of the town's success, begins hunting teenagers, they must fight to survive the night and escape with their lives. In this 1on1, we speak to Craig about his appreciation for 80s slasher films and crossing the generational divide.

This week, the whole gang is back together! Yay! Evan and Megan start out by reviewing Paul Feig's whodunnit dark comedy, ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOR (2:33), a sequel to you guessed it, A SIMPLE FAVOR. While it retains the crackling chemistry between its leads, Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, the movie doesn't have much going for it other than its gorgeous location and fashions; its writing and dialogue are abysmal, and it's glacially paced. Next, we all discuss Eli Craig's horror film CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD (19:43), which is set in a small midwestern town that's terrorized by a killer clown in a cornfield. There's a lot more to this slasher than it seems from the title; it's well-paced, funny, features memorable kills, and has smart social commentary. And in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about Drew Hancock's sci-fi thriller COMPANION, starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid!

From growing up in a Hollywood family and wanting to get as far away from Los Angeles and the film industry as possible… to his adventures climbing mountains and shoveling snow… to making the brief decision to try out life as an actor and the advice Clint Eastwood gave him on set… to going to USC grad school and creating his own film festival to showcase his short film… to the uphill battle he faced getting his 2010 horror/comedy TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL made and why there has yet to be a sequel to the beloved film… to the reality check every filmmaker faces coming off of a run of glowing film festival responses and into the world of “mainstream” critics and distributors who simply can't afford a proper marketing strategy… to how Adam Cesare's “Clown in a Cornfield” novel first came onto his radar and how the looming WGA strike almost derailed the project… to how shooting the film in Canada afforded him the luxury of casting exactly who he wanted to cast and elevate stars like Katie Douglas to #1in the cast… Eli is a fellow cinematic traveler who's story is sure to inspire you!

Eli Craig smashed onto the slasher scene with his genre-defying comedy event Tucker & Dale VS Evil, and he's back with another slasher that upends expectations: Clown in a Cornfield.Clown in a Cornfield is based on the first entry in Adam Cesare's Frendo series which chucks a group of teens into the mayhem of a Midwestern American town where they find themselves picked off by a growing group of killer clowns. Eli Craig then takes that terror from the page and supplants it brilliantly with a satirical and savvy stance, making one of the most enjoyably subversive horror flicks of the year so far.It's also one of the most timely too, as it's a horror film about the flyover states of America, yet it's shot in Canada. That added layer of political devilishness is one of the things that I ask Eli about in the following interview.This chat is an open one from Eli, with the horror director talking about the journey of Tucker & Dale VS Evil from being an unseen flick to a cult classic which has fans demanding a sequel. Eli also talks about the journey of adapting Adam's books for the screen, before making a statement for horror film fans around the world, myself included: If you want more Clown in the Cornfield films, then go and see the first one in cinemas.And for Aussie audiences, you'll be able to do that very soon.Clown in a Cornfield makes its Australian premiere at Fantastic Film Festival Australia on 26 April at the Lido in Hawthorn and the Ritz Randwick. It then is unleashed nation wide on 8 May.

Is there anything more beautiful than two boy besties who would go to the ends of the earth for each other and maybe also share lil goodnight smoochies? In Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2010), the two titular BFFs are pretty much the pinnacle of non-toxic masculinity — even when one of them does a little mild gaslighting to the other. For the most part, though, they're for real ride or die, and they gas each other up and root each other on when a series of miscommunications has them facing off against a group of college kids. On a new Spooky Tuesday, we're talking about how a little beer can fix everything as we cover all the CLEAR references to movies like Final Destination 3 and Bodies Bodies Bodies.References:https://horrorobsessive.com/2020/02/19/tucker-and-dale-vs-evil-and-arrogance/https://film-cred.com/tucker-and-dale-vs-evil-patriarchy-horror-comedy/https://halloween-year-round.com/2020/01/22/10-fun-facts-about-tucker-dale-vs-evil/FuggcastAbsurdist Comedy Nonsense.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify
