One of Dread’s most terrifying offerings of 2020 was the re-release of Billy Pon’s Circus of the Dead. Originally released in 2014, the film amassed a sizable cult following before going out of print due to the original distributor’s insolvency. Our re-release featured stunning new key art and a slew of extras, making it a must-have for fans of circus and clown-themed horror movies.

A film shot in a grindhouse style with grease-painted freaks and flowing with bright red blood is a colorful nightmare, to say the least. Still, a recent creative exercise proves Circus of the Dead could have been just as terrifying in another format.
