Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Back in October, we were kind enough to pass along the bizarre trailer for GINGERCLOWN 3D, a nightmarish concoction written and directed by Balazs Hatvani. Now we’ve got something else to hand you regarding this candy-colored freakshow: some distribution news!

Grindstone, the home video division of Lionsgate’s Mandate Pictures, has abducted the North American distribution rights to GINGERCLOWN. No release date has been given yet; maybe it will be an October treat?

The flick stars Tim Curry, Erin Hayes, Ashley Luke Lloyd, Michael Cannel-Griffiths, Lance Henriksen, Brad Dourif, Michael Winslow and Sean Young. What a cast!

Here’s the full synopsis for GINGERCLOWN 3D:


1983. A group of high school students are having a great time near Hollywood Hills one weekend when they bump into the Loser from their school, Sam, who’s just on his way home.

Sam would do anything in order to get Jenny’s attention, one of prettiest girls in school. Unfortunately she’s also the girlfriend of the school’s bully, Biff, the quarterback of the football team.

Biff and his buddies are keen to take Sam to the old abandoned amusement park to make him prove his courage as part of their initiation ceremony. They involve Jenny in their cruel game as the grand prize of the competition. Sam accepts the challenge but the girl wouldn’t let him go in by himself, she follows him into the amusement park and a night they’ll never forget.

Because in the old park, hidden in the darkness are frightening and somewhat eccentric monsters that love to torture innocent human beings while intensively annoying each other.

Check out the, ummm, intriguing trailer for the flick below.
