This is what won him the role
Tale
A maniac named Art the Clown terrorizes two friends on Halloween and everyone who gets in his way.. David Howard Thornton was the sixth person who auditioned for Art The Clown after Mike Giannelli retired from the role and acting altogether. During the audition, he began miming tasting his beheaded victim's blood, but then added salt to it to improve its flavor. In the shots where Tara is gagged with tape, the tape is clearly not making any contact with her lower mouth in some earlier shots whereas it is tight around both of her lips in other shots..
Edited into Terrifier 2 (2022)
EMT Roman: How can you eat a greasy croissant while you’re cutting up dead bodies?Coroner: Sweetheart, I’ve been doing this twenty-two years, alright? Once you’ve seen an eight-month-old microwaved to death… everything else is just old hat.. There is a heavily edited version on YouTube which removes the graphic violence and gore, as well as the nudity..

Art the Clown started back in 2011 with a short movie by the same name, truth be told I didn't like it. The creator Damien Leone would keep Art around in his feature film All Hallows' Eve (2013) but as a small role.Now here we are and Art has his own movie, but is it any good? Honestly, not really but it's better than his last solo outing.It follows the standard slasher formula and sees a couple of girls on Halloween night come under attack from a psychotic clown.So again this is generic stuff, it embraces all the usual tropes and though not predictable certainly has no surprises. It's also pretty ugly and oddly paced throughout.What Terrifier does have however is sheer unadulterated brutality.
The Good:Impressively grisly visualsJenna KanellUnpredictableThe Bad:Doesn't exactly flowPoor cinematography
This is gory nasty no holds barred merciless stuff, I was quite shocked actually. Considering the budget they make all of it look really good, so kudos to the sfx department.I love clowns as antagonists but Art doesn't seem to tick enough boxes for me. He's less of a clown and more of a mime and doesn't seem to be an interesting enough character to carry his own film.Passable stuff but by this time next week I'll have forgotten it. Art the Clown, Pennywise, and Killer Klowns are just a few of the comical creatures that send shivers down our spines.
