Entertainment Squad’s genre label The Horror Collective has locked worldwide rights to director Patrick Rea’s new horror-comedy Super Happy Fun Clown, just weeks before its international premiere at London’s FrightFest on Sunday, August 24 (4:00 p.m., Odeon Luxe West End Screen 1).
Led by Jennifer Seward ( I Am Lisa, The Stylist ) as former child prodigy-turned-party entertainer “Jenn-O the Clown,” the film follows one chaotic Halloween night where nostalgia-fueled tricks escalate into lethal treats. Early reactions from Panic Fest point to a darkly playful tone that balances sharp humor with graphic carnage, anchored by Seward’s intense performance.
Producers Eric Winkler (also writer) and Rea describe the feature as “a character piece wrapped in a slasher candy shell,” exploring blurred lines between success and self-destruction. FrightFest co-director Greg Day predicts strong fan turnout, noting Rea’s previous festival hits I Am Lisa and They Wait in the Dark.
Following its London bow, Super Happy Fun Clown will tour the fall festival circuit before a North American release later this year, adding to The Horror Collective’s recent momentum after summer breakout The Death of Snow White.
