OFFICIAL TRAILER: Terrifier 2 – Trailer
Art the Clown returns next Thursday to give us test our fears, especially those who aren’t fans of clowns. Art had his original screen premiere in 2008’s short THE 9TH CIRCLE; while he had his signature white face makeup, he wasn’t quite as “terrifying” as he is now. After this, it was Art’s turn to headline in his 2011 short aptly named TERRIFIER, and yet again in the 2013 feature ALL HALLOW’S EVE. In all three of these performances, he was played by Mike Giannelli; it wasn’t until 2016 that David Howard Thorton put on the makeup for Art’s feature-length film TERRIFIER. Director Damien Leone not only created Art but also directed and wrote for Art in all of his appearances.
TERRIFIER 2 was nearly complete when it became another victim of the COVID-19 pandemic and was put on hold. The film was finally finished two plus years later and is ready to be unleashed on the world. You've been missing out if you’re unfamiliar with Art or the TERRIFIER franchise. A low-budget franchise that made the most of its limitations with incredible kills and an intriguing new villain that could hold his own against some of horror's greatest icons.
The best news I’ve seen recently is that TERRIFIER 3 is already planned along with other films in the franchise to “flesh” out Art’s character. I’m ready for this world to be expanded!
SPOILERISH SYNOPSIS: After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to the timid town of Miles County, where he targets a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.
Make sure you check out TERRIFIER 2 when it comes to a theater near you on October 6th.

Out Freaking Standing movie… Damien Leone is a genius. Fantastic performance from David Howard Thornton. Even though it was a small cameo. I’m proud of my friend “The Selfie Guy” himself Rick Styczynski. I love it so much! Now I want more. 🖤🤡🖤😂🖤
Although the movie made absolutely no sense at all to me the kills and creepiness made up for this one I really enjoyed it
Art is our new horror icon. I loved almost everything about this movie. It wasn’t perfect. The ending become very repetitive and almost like they just wanted to make it longer. But everything else was spot on. I laughed at Art and he is this likable killer to me. The bedroom scene was over the top gore pact. Even though it ws realistic. I didn’t care. I also like the fact that this didn’t have any SA in the movie. Most times are really nitty gritty killers have SA in the actions because the writers resort to that to make us dislike them or feel even more disguist to the killers. They didn’t have to do that with Art and I love that.
Not as good as the first film too long and an ending that just would quit and had too many paranormal elements
