Terrifier was followed up with a direct sequel recently as Terrifier 2 as a two hour movie of butchery and mayhem. And it’s said that this new murder spree of Art The Clown is even much….much more explicit in its depiction of slaughter than the film before. Good God, I need to see this movie!!!
Much like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees, Art The Clown has a way of coming back from the dead even after being taken out himself. To avoid cops taking him in once discovered, Art kills himself by shooting himself through his skull. Now all throughout the film, we think he’s just a human in makeup on a killing spree but he’s shown to have immortal tendencies like his slasher counterparts as he wakes up after his own death. What this killer clown reallyis, we don’t know just yet…is he human or something else?
Although Art The Clown is the new kid on the block, he is already making his mark in licensed merchandise with masks and costumes, tee shirts, action figures, games, pins, air fresheners all based on the killer clown. Next, we will have an animatronic prop standing among Pennywise and other creepy clown props for Halloween. Like Sam of Trick R Treat, Art The Clown has become a pop culture icon for the 2020’s and with the release of the new movie in 2022 as Terrifier 2, I’m sure there will be more installments within the now newly formed franchise. It seems that Art The Clown is now among the big boys in horror movie society.
