There’s an old saying that goes, “all the world loves a clown,” but writer/director Jaysen Buterin has decided to add his own little caveat to it: “no one ever said it had to be alive.” From the award-winning Mad Ones Films comes Kill Giggles, a Hitchcockian horror/thriller inspired by Buterin’s own coulrophobia (extreme fear and/or hatred of clowns) and for a special treat.

SYNOPSIS:Tommy dos Santos wasn’t born a psychopath, nor was he made into a sociopath. He’s something entirely new, and he’s walking his own path – a path that will run red with the blood of the foulest most fiendishly frightening creatures ever conceived by man… CLOWNS! No longer the madmen and monsters that nightmares are made of, now it’s the clowns who are the victims, running for their lives from a killer who won’t stop until every single one of them is dead.

Supported by stars and creative talent from all over the world, the cast and crew came together over a three-week period to shoot the film. “What we’ve done here is truly make movie magic, shooting 148 scenes over a period of 20 days in 36 different locations with a 20-25-person crew,” says Buterin. “From a ghost mall to a haunted hospital to beautiful theatres and downtown settings, there are some absolutely amazing sequences and death scenes coming up we hope people will be talking about for some time!”
