Blood Harvest - "How bout some meaningless sex?"

You know we love a creepy clown flick & we jumped at the chance to watch Tiny Tim go ham in this 80's slasher BLOOD HARVEST (1987). Folks in a small town are dealing with a struggling economy & farm foreclosures. Themes of loss and unrequited love fuel this one.

Thanks to our friend Mabletron3000 for recommending this flick! Give her a follow if you also love all things creepy & clowns!

We hope you enjoy this fresh episode!
