Dimension Films has set a June 17 limited theatrical release date for producer Eli Roth’s Clown, a creepy frightener from director Jon Watts about a father (Andy Powers) consumed by the clown costume he wears at his young son’s birthday party when the hired talent doesn’t show.

Watts and producing/writing partner Christopher D. Ford (Robot And Frank) first shot Clown as a faux trailer for a fake Eli Roth movie. The short caught Roth’s attention and the duo were immediately welcomed into Hollywood with teenaged hookers, mountains of crystal meth, and truckloads of cash.
