Just in time to celebrate it’s 10th Anniversary, Billy Pon’s CIRCUS OF THE DEAD comes to novelization today! Penned by Joshua Millican (All Through the House: The Novelization, Forbidden Zone: The Novelization, the Deeper Than Hell series), CIRCUS OF THE DEAD takes you even deeper into the disturbed mind of Papa Corn.
Synopsis:
A sadistic group of clowns kidnap an unsuspecting man and his daughters, forcing him to play a deadly game in order to save his family.
Written by Billy “Bloody Bill” Pon and Lee Ankrum, Circus of the Dead has amassed a rabid cult following in the years since its release. The film stars Bill Oberst Jr., Parrish Randall, and Chanel Ryan. A sequel was recently announced and is currently in pre-production.
“I’ve been a fan of Circus of the Dead for almost as long as anyone,” says Millican, “and Billy and I go way back. So it was an honor to have his blessing to embark on this ultra-violent escapade!”
“It’s been close to 10 years, and I’m still blown away by the fans’ love for the film,” says Pon. “With the novelization, Josh and I are giving them something extra, a real peek into Papa Corn’s mind! There are elements from my original screenplay with Lee that we incorporated, and a prequel that goes into Doll Boy’s origins!”
All pre-orders will receive an exclusive set of Loteria cards featuring the film’s core cast of clowns: Papa Corn, Noodledome, Mister Blister, and Jumbo. The first run of these authentic collectables won’t be available anywhere else, and are only available through Encyclopocalypse.com.
“Josh has already done some great work for us,” says Sean Duregger, Managing Editor of Encyclopocalypse, “And I think his novelization of Circus of the Dead represents some of his best work.”
The novelization also includes a foreword by Bill Oberst Jr. (who plays Papa Corn), an afterword by Pon himself, and some alternate character posters from the film’s initial release. It will be available in standard and mass-market sizes.
Circus of the Dead: The Novelization is available TODAY wherever books are sold.
