Tulips

Seventeen-year-old Paige Bishop is a top student and a loving older sister, but her hidden fear of clowns has haunted her for years. When her younger siblings beg her to take them to the visiting Calliope Circus, Paige reluctantly agrees, determined to face her phobia head-on. Among the bright lights and cheerful chaos of the circus, she encounters Tulips, a clown whose wide smile and jovial charm mask something far darker. Tulips takes an unsettling interest in Paige, and by the end of the night, his playful antics turn sinister as he begins to follow them home. What begins as an eerie encounter spirals into a deadly nightmare when Tulips invades their home, revealing his true nature as a sadistic predator who delights in torment and bloodshed. Using his seemingly innocent clown tools as instruments of horror, Tulips forces Paige to confront her deepest fears while trying to protect her brother and sister. In a harrowing final confrontation, Paige discovers the strength she never knew she had. But when she awakens in a psychiatric hospital, it’s revealed her memories may not align with reality, leaving her—and the audience—wondering if Tulips is a figment of her fractured mind or if the nightmare is far from over.
