First Look at Gags The Clown

Published

on

He’s just getting started.

The Line Film Co. and Head Trauma Productions have officially released a batch of stills and a new synopsis for their upcoming horror film Gags, which is based on the hit short from last year whose marketing stunt went viral and kickstarted the evil clown trend of 2016.

“A small city in Wisconsin is terrorized by a mysterious clown who roams the streets late at night with nothing more than a handful of black balloons. The local news stations scramble to break the story on who he is and what he wants while a group high schoolers see the clown’s arrival as an excuse to create a little trouble themselves. The police try to maintain order in a city that has gone clown crazy and a conservative podcast host vows to put a stop to the clown known as Gags while broadcasting his “clown hunt” on social media for the world to see.”

Gags stars Lauren Ashley Carter (Jug Face, Darling), Tracy Perez (The Strain, East Los High), Aaron Christensen (Dead Weight) and Evan Gamble (American Sniper, The Vampire Diaries). It was co-written by Adam Krause and John Pata and directed by Adam Krause.

The film is in the final stages of post-production and nearing a festival run. For more information on Gags, visit the film’s official website at gagsfilm.com or follow along via Facebook (facebook.com/gagstheclown).

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
