Horror Fans Get Asked to Crowdfund Killer Clown Film

Rob Zombie is no stranger to horror films. He's written and produced plenty including "House of 1000 Corpses," "The Devil's Rejects," and, of course, the "Halloween" series. But until now, Zombie has been a stranger to using crowdfunding to make his films.
