Terrifier

Because Terrifier broke the template in that genre, making a horror movie need not always involve a village. According to Variety, several moviegoers have reportedly passed out or puked during the film, and some have even been seen needing medical care outside the theaters. Art differs from other villains in that he doesn't have a backstory explaining why he wants to wreak havoc, making him such a terrifying horror movie clown. Again, it's creepy that Art stalks and kills everybody who gets in his way because there's really no good reason for it.

He initially gives off a semi-friendly impression before abruptly changing his entire approach. He also doesn't say a word the whole movie, which adds to his mystique and heightens the tension.

As Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) goes on another bloody killing spree, the Terrifier sequel has received more positive reviews from critics and much more attention from horror fans. Despite Damien Leone's public declaration that he doesn't want viewers to pass out or suffer injuries while watching the film, we can't help but think that a small part of him enjoys the attention it has received.
