Epic Pictures has unveiled the trailer for Candy Corn.

This creepy spookshow spectacular is coming to select theaters this September, and today with have a first look at the terrifying madness hidden within. Epic Pictures has given us the trailer, poster and a number of images. Along for the ride are Candyman himself, Tony Todd and a number of other horror icons.

The trailer kicks off with a pretty brutal attack on a seemingly innocent man by a group of unfeeling thugs. It's shockingly sadistic. This bullied individual then gets a second chance at something resembling life, thanks to a creepy guy in clown makeup and a ritual of sorts. As one might expect, things go haywire. Bodies start to pile up and Halloween becomes a full-blown nightmare for an unsuspecting town.

"Freaks aren't born, they're created."

A new poster has also been released which includes some intriguing imagery, but doesn't feature any of the candy for which the movie is named after. The cast includes P.J. Soles (Halloween), Courtney Gains (Children of the Corn), Tony Todd (Candyman), Pancho Moler (3 from Hell), Sky Elobar (The Greasy Strangler), Caleb Thomas (The Terror of Hallow's Eve), Lovlee Carroll (Anabolic Life), Matt O'Neill (Edgar Allan Poe's Lighthouse Keeper) and Nate Chaney making his feature debut.
