Clown in a Cornfield Interview: Katie Douglas Was a Warrior Fighting Frendo the Clown
21SXSW in Austin is the perfect hub for genre filmmaking, particularly horror. The festival celebrates the unconventional voices of indie artists, and the spirit of independent filmmaking is alive and well in Clown in a Cornfield, a darkly comic, grisly slasher film based on the novel of the same name by author Adam Cesare. The film, co-written and directed by Eli Craig (Tucker and Dale vs. Evil), is one part an inventive slasher thriller and another part a commentary on contemporary generational divides.
At SXSW 2025 where they celebrated the film's World Premiere, Cesare, Craig, and stars Katie Douglas (Ginny & Georgia), Kevin Durand (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), and Aaron Abrams (Hannibal) stopped by the Collider Media Studio at the Cinema Center to chat with Perri Nemiroff. Check out this interview where they dig into the process of adapting the book to screen, the challenges of physically demanding filmmaking, Douglas' performance in her debut leading role, and reveal their favorite horror films. Durand also shares his thoughts on reuniting with Radio Silence and why he's "kind of happy" he won't be in Ready or Not 2.
