Patrick Rea (I Am Lisa, Nailbiter, They Wait in the Dark, The Night Is Young) is back with new horror film Super Happy Fun Clown, and we’ve learned this week that Entertainment Squad’s genre label The Horror Collective has picked up worldwide rights.
Described as “a blood-soaked, darkly comedic slasher,” Super Happy Fun Clown stars Jennifer Seward (I Am Lisa, The Stylist) as Jennifer, a former child prodigy turned Jenn‑O the Clown, wielding twisted inspirations drawn from classic movie monsters and infamous killers during one unforgettable Halloween night.
Deborah Madick and Violet Rea also star.
Super Happy Fun Clown is written and executive produced by Eric Winkler (I Am Lisa), based on a previously released short film that was also written by Eric Winkler.
“This is a character piece wrapped in a slasher candy shell,” said 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.”
Eric Winkler, writer/producer, adds, “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?”
Super Happy Fun Clown will play at FrightFest UK on Sunday, August 24 at 4:00pm, in Odeon LUXE West End, Screen 1. Watch the previously released teaser trailer below.
