Rob Zombie’s fan-funded killer clown movie ’31’ has been a long time coming, but all evidence points to it being worth the wait.

Now the official movie poster has been released, excitement can start building up fresh and it’s only a matter of time until a trailer’s here. [UPDATE: Rob Zombie and Saban Films have released the trailer. Check it out below]

Distributed by Saban Films, Zombie’s ’31’ will include frequent cast members Malcolm McDowell, Jeff Daniel Phillips and Sheri Moon Zombie, among others.

Here’s the brief synopsis:

On October 30, 1975, five carnival workers were kidnapped and held hostage until the following night (Halloween), where they are put in a compound. They’re told that they are there to take part in a game named “31” where the goal is to survive past the next 12 hours. This is made difficult by the fact that they are not alone; a violent gang of evil clowns are there and stalking their every move.
