Clown in a Cornfield

In search of a fresh start, Quinn and her father move to the small and peaceful town of Kettle Springs. What they hoped would be an opportunity to rebuild their lives quickly turns into a nightmare. Instead of finding peace, they discover a deeply divided community, marked by distrust and resentment, still reeling from a recent tragedy: the destruction of the Baypen Corn Syrup Factory, once a symbol of the town’s economic prosperity.

The factory, which had long represented unity and progress for the people of Kettle Springs, was consumed by flames in a devastating fire. Since then, the local economy has plummeted, and the collective morale of the town has crumbled. Tension among the residents continues to grow. The adults, nostalgic for a simpler, more disciplined time, blame the youth for the town’s decline. Meanwhile, the teenagers—trapped in a community that neither understands nor accepts them—desperately seek ways to escape.

Amid this atmosphere of resentment and frustration, a deeper horror begins to take shape. From the towering cornfields surrounding Kettle Springs, a chilling figure emerges: a grotesque clown-like entity, its face frozen in a sinister grin, with a blood-soaked purpose. This figure doesn’t just terrify the town—it seems determined to “cleanse” it of its ills in the most brutal and final way imaginable.
