‘Terrifier 2’: The twisted origin of the demonic clown Art The Clown

Tonight are the first performances of Terrifier 2, an excellent Halloween gift from Cinépolis and Morbido, and Wednesday will be the third and last. In other words, just three exhibitions of the horror and gore movie with more hype in the year. all three exhaustedBy the way, it’s not for nothing that fans are furious with the chain of cinemas and the horror film festival chaired by Pablo Guisa Koestinger.

If you’re a little out of touch with the frenzy of this austere independent film (it only cost $250,000), you need to know that it stars the devilish clown Art The Clown, a brutal killer on Halloween nights. Her debut was made in the horror anthology All Hallow’s Eve (2013), followed by his film as the antagonist, terrierin 2016, a story that tells how two unfortunate women are brutally murdered by him, one woman skinned and the other disfigured.

In the second part, director Damien Leone exceeded his limits to the point of reporting fainting, vomiting and chaos in its exhibitions in theaters in the United States. The gringo mothers have had to resort to a petition to censor the film and stop terrorizing the minds of the poor children who, in an act of mischief and innocence, buy tickets for a film of legal age.

At this point in the year, we can assure you that Art The Clown beat Michael Myers and Chucky with his hand on his waist. But, Do you know how this bastard clown originated? Leone just explained to Entertainment Weekly during an interview where he asked to see the first tape to avoid any kind of tragedies. To cure himself of fear and distance himself from the people who are criticizing his perverse story.

“I had this idea of ​​a clown terrorizing a woman on a bus. She’s alone, coming home from work or whatever, in the middle of the night. This clown goes upstairs, sits opposite her, starts looking at her and playing with her. It’s awkward and off-putting and maybe even funny, but it gets progressively more intimidating and aggressive,” Leone explained. And the man behind the villain is actor David Howard Thornton.
