When Will Clown In A Cornfield Release On Streaming?
The Timelines For Similar Movies Provide A Hint
Previously, RJLE and Shudder worked together on a project, hinting that the critically acclaimed “Clown in a Cornfield” might eventually stream on the Shudder platform. At present, no significant streaming companies have acquired the rights, suggesting it will stay with Shudder when it’s ready to be viewed online. The horror movie “Little Bites” premiered in theaters on October 4th, 2024, and eventually made its way to Shudder on February 21st, 2025. Considering this timeline, “Clown in a Cornfield” might be available for streaming around late August or early September 2025.
When Will Clown In A Cornfield Release On Digital?
It Will Eventually Arrive On The Shudder Platform
The movie titled “Clown in a Cornfield” is jointly distributed by RJLE Films and Shudder, a partnership that’s becoming more common. Given their track record with independent horror releases like the latest clown-themed slasher, we can estimate an approximate release date on Video On Demand (VOD) platforms. Interestingly, this duo was also responsible for the launch of another film, “Ash,” a sci-fi horror from director Flying Lotus, which premiered at South by Southwest 2025.
Ash premiered alongside Clown in a Cornfield during the same weekend, but it was given a broader release date ahead of its counterpart. The wider release for Ash occurred on March 21st, 2025, less than two weeks after its SXSW debut. Starting from April 22nd, Ash became accessible for purchase on VOD platforms, approximately a month following its theatrical release date. Adhering to the same timeline, it is expected that Clown in a Cornfield will become available for rent or purchase around the second week of June, making it ready to take off as a summer horror blockbuster.
