Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) scares GalaxyCon fans | Part One

[@Shark20167]

Dude holy shit, this is one of the coolest and funniest things an actor like him can do in full makeup and costume. What an amazing talented guy and so fun. 11/10

[@S-keyy]

He does a great job ! 🎉

[@ghazisakka6673]

He is Charlie Chaplin and Harpo Marx of horror.

[@chadsanchez508]

He done it at movie theaters for the release of the third movie and also did it in a could of malls and Halloween stores.

[@absolutemadness9955]

Art when he's not killing humans he seems like a fun person lol

[@wvmountaineer80]

Lol yeah

[@darthtater6543]

That’s how he gets you, apparently you don’t watch the movies. He acts cool then attacks you.

[@HalieghRogers]

​@@darthtater6543 cool maybe you'll be his next victim 😏

[@pixlbunni]

​@@darthtater6543 brother

[@SkibidiOrangOfficial]

Why did you say humans like an alien

[@DrBrule-mv4ir]

The gory kills are fun, but in my opinion the #1 reason the Terrifier movies are so successful is that David just looks like he has so much fun being Art. It’s just so great watching an actor who looks like they love their job, which must be true if he can be this playful after what must have been hours in makeup.

[@TheRealMisterJ]

Well it's actually a mask that only takes maybe 30 minutes or less to put on.. There's a video of him getting into character

[@hollymeg2861]

​@@TheRealMisterJhe's said it takes 2-3 hours to become art

[@pixlbunni]

I'm not really a fan of movies with excessive gore, but David's performance makes it bearable. Art might just be my favorite horror mascot

[@jandkwjw81819]

​@@pixlbunni mmm the terrifier saga its what slasher movies couldn't be in the 80-90's because the censorship

[@mystickev194]

​@@TheRealMisterJThats only the make up and getting dressed part, it takes 2 hours and 30 min to make the face so it would take around 3 hours to get into full art costume

[@AdamNRG316]

5:58 omg seeing him find a kid in his little accomplices costume and then playing patter cake with her was so adorable.

[@jollyrot3145]

Right!? That was so cool of David to do, we definitely have to nurture our young horror movie audiences ☺️

[@Raven3913]

“You can’t eat the baby Art.” 😂😂

[@deniseellis7284]

Highlight of my day 😅

[@imagin916]

The dog wagging it’s tail tells you everything you need to know about David being a nice guy under the costume 😂

[@maggiemccauslin1084]

Exactly

[@williamobando9967]

Absolutely ❤

[@thedarkknight7287]

Indeed. Animals have an amazing ability to perceive threats and look how that dog reacted. They can sense evil, and obviously David is a kind soul, and that dog picked up on that immediately.

[@W4ysteviltwan]

I can tell at 3:45 when the dude asked DHT for a photo and was declined, i can tell DHT felt bad but I'm sure he understood that they had to keep it moving, because if one person takes a photo then hes gonna get rushed at with hundreds of people wanting to take photo's, but you can tell DHT has a really big heart for his fans

[@TheRealMisterJ]

Yeah I was thinking that, also I don't think he knew he was the real deal lol, he said something like that's a beast of a custume can I take a picture.. So he probably had no idea. And yeah what you said, but also he's on his way to the meet and greet / celebrity line where usually people pay for that, so he can't be going around doing it for free unfortunately

[@W4ysteviltwan]

@TheRealMisterJ Right On! Can't Wait For The 4th Movie, Apparently It Will Be The Final Movie, But Technically There Could Be A Fifth One If He Can't Fit The Rest Of The Story In The Fourth One, 4th One Will Probably Come Out In 2026 And If There's A Fifth, It'll Come Out In 2028, But Knowing Leone He Might Have Em Coming Out Earlier. Now About The Movie Being A "Final" It Doesn't Mean It's Over For Good, He's Just Not Trying To Do What The Nightmare On Elm Street Or Friday The 13th Movies Did And Turn The Movies Into Nonsense, I'm Sure Like 4 To 5 Years Later He Will Maybe Bring Art Back On The Big Screen

[@jomitchell6064]

That moment for me was Cringe and it was scarier then all three of the terrifier movies.

[@glazanis24]

I also think if he’s at a Con there’s a better than average chance there’s people who have paid to have pics with him later. Can’t charge people for pics then give them away free at the same place. Sucks but that’s the business part of it I guess

[@Smokinduckz]

His handler pissed me off

[@spencerhulcy727]

"You can't eat the baby, Art" followed by him doing an 'aww shucks' gesture is hilarious.

[@internetgoblinuwu2002]

I love how he still responded when someone said David he still responded. He can switch from Art to himself and then back. So cool. What a g.

[@catwoman8861]

He’s the best. He’s why this whole franchise has worked and become so successful. He’s funny, engaging and dedicated and has really taken the role to his heart.

[@thebrokenglasskids5196]

There is no movie franchise that values their fans more than these guys do. David probably sat in makeup for hours just to go do this and still seemed genuinely excited about it. They all deserve every bit of success that they’re having. Really happy for them!

[@maggiemccauslin1084]

For sure

[@onesunnyday5699]

If the puppy trusts Art, we can trust Art ❤

[@Sultanofsleez]

Him petting the pup was way too wholesome 😂

[@redfox4220]

5:20 that guy with the art mask probably had no idea the real deal Just walked passed him lmao

[@rebecca721]

I was gonna comment this!! 😂🤣

[@aova687]

2:50 I love how he can sniff out their fear LOL.

[@Roxanne4012]

Fr 😂😅😅

[@arhumat6822]

Art definetly became a top of hall of fame slasher vilains… This clown is terrifying !

[@cannibalvegetableyt]

I've met several celebs/musicians without gushing, not sure I could contain myself with DHT. The combination of pantomime, comedic timing, and voicework is absolutely inspiring. If I get to shake his hand, I will be a very happy camper. DAVID YOU ROCK!

[@FiestyCheese]

Art laughing at the Joker at how bad it was

[@chrissears5482]

I think it was him implying how he beat him in the box office too

[@ElViperr408]

One thing I like about him is that he doesn’t make noise. His face expressions are the best part

[@muffinland8660]

I love how he has this almost uncanny ability to know who wants to be honked at, who wants to be scared, and what everyone specifically finds funny. The man's a machine.

[@dankification]

David is literally a national treasure in the horror genre!

[@TrackMaster844]

2:24 - The way the dog just goes over with its tail wagging, it can tell David’s a sweetheart ^^

[@cartercarpenter9514]

Bro is not paying for dam child support 💀🙏

[@jb9987]

Art was like that ain’t my goddamn clown baby 😂😂😂😂

[@Papayaaa27]

The way he's so respectful of the service dog 🥹

[@moderndemon84]

🥹🥹🥹

[@ElMasDope510]

I can watch him walk around all day. Scary as shit on the big screen. Sweet as sugar in real life.

[@sarahnicholebrown9192]

He reminds of Robert englund with his portrayal of Freddy as he has went to the mall in the 80s and 90s dressed up as Freddy and even done interviews dressed up in full makeup art the clown ain't the first one to do this but damn cool to see he is really down to earth guy and loves doing what he does that's what makes a character so great is the love and passion for the character he plays gives it a more authentic feel and gives off a certain vibe you don't get with actors anymore

[@witchingbrew3]

Truly a master at his craft

[@1981mrdavid]

My face hurts from smiling and laughing through the whole thing. David is a true showman.

[@gissneric]

I feel like its a mixture of being scared and intimated that's why the people there aren't that excited although I know deep inside they are 😂

[@jakegodfrey4320]

One of the best things about the Terrifier films is Thorton's complete commitment to the silliness, the facial expressions and the joy he takes in the pain he causes. I love that he does stuff like this, what a great guy.

[@maggiemccauslin1084]

I've seen some people try and say he's mean to people on social media but then if you look at his social media's he's only mean to those who are to him first.. people have said he's only mean to Trump supporters who were being jerks to him first... I just wish if some people are going to claim he's mean they put a legitimate reason why... don't call someone mean without a reason... But I don't buy it for a second he doesn't seem like a guy who is mean without a reason

[@mikejames874]

So funny he puts into the character. And the baby. The people behind him no don’t eat the baby. Then he saw a little baby on a table and freaked out lol.

[@stubbornscorpio7]

3:28 Love that Ross Marquardt saw him coming and left his table to come say hi and give Art a hug.

[@Young_Special]

0:38 Bro saw the opposition and locked' the FREAK in.

[@chechibc9314]

the other had to retire the sight😂

[@notduffy9203]

Bro said fuck you in asl shit had me dying 😂💀

[@evldedgrl]

I swear. DHT is living his best life. Honestly great to see him enjoying his success and having a ball.

[@JosephSchnell]

I’m not even a fan of the franchise. I just love Art and DHTs performance. So much fun.

[@shrunkenheadsandspiderwebs697]

Flicking off Pennywise got me good lmao

[@daniellediazhe30]

More Art the clown video like this!!!! love watching them it's like a stress reliever

[@SuperDesignermatt]

Great to see another horror/slasher icon in the making. Art is gonna be around for a while as long as they don’t fall into the trap of over saturating the market and it becoming a parody of itself like Jason, Freddy and Michael did.

[@SantaDog81]

Art in Terrifier world: Saws women in half upside down from the V to the scalp. Art in our world: "I have to pet doggies, and play pattycake with kids!"

[@whyjordie]

I just know his cheeks hurt from smiling like that constantly

[@mlpkillers6293]

This guy is one hell of an actor! He plays the role so well!

[@kirbalicious]

this is actually so sweet that little girl has the sickest story ever "yeah i played patty cake with art the clown"

[@Caitlin01989]

Yes that was so cute! ☺️

[@PrimeNoodle]

This is not easy to say but I believe he inserted himself with icon slasher line up with only 3 movies n couple shorts , now that it's impressive i wanted the same thing with the Collector dude but they just left those future films on the shelf

[@danielleforet8057]

We're going to get The Collected! They resumed work on it. I love the Collector, so I know exactly how you feel. 🖤

[@NinjapowerMS]

About time we got a new iconic slasher in modern times.

[@RAFAKAUST]

The Collector series is criminally underrated. So fucking good.

[@RikFTK]

The shorts were actualy a different actor. David started playing Art in the first stand alone Terrifier movie.

[@yoshimitsu5384]

Literally a horror legend in the making

[@sjcongo]

This can be the next movie intro… people laughing and he kills all of them 😅

[@camrynmccain989]

I love art his reaction when he saw baby art the clown twins

[@SonOfRian]

I like how expressive he is it makes you want to imitate him very charismatic

[@mikea3098]

As someone who isnt into the movies (extreme gore porn isnt for me. Not because im scared or squeamish it just doesnt give me the like sick horror joy others get) I absolutely know for sure Art is horror royalty now. Will be an icon like Freddie or Jason or Myers. The actor is so good. I love watching these vids of him

[@posthumangelica]

6:05 AWWWWW 🥲

[@GooselynYT]

Meeting him was such a joy. Hes so sweet it's no wonder his line was so long- i would have met him 10x over just to talk to him longer.

[@PetrikRoubal]

This videos are probably meant as a therapy for those who are traumatized from Terrifier gruesome gore so they can see “art the clown “ acting nice to people similar to bloopers

[@Jayskiallthewayski]

They probably don't realise it's the man himself

[@puddleduckist]

Hilarious! The kids waiving at art😂😂😂😂😂😂 no bag full of goodies 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!!! Can't wait for terrifier 4!

[@glennjoselane1690]

I love David. What a wonderful guy!

[@joefrank5274]

And this is why this franchise is legendary.

[@MC-jj9zd]

Indefinitely ❤

[@thedarkknight7287]

I was there when he was walking around. Later my wife got a hug from him. She was sacred of him. LOL It was very cool to see David in character. It's no wonder with him playing Art why the movie has become so popular. Remember this character has been around for almost 16 years. I really believe all the success of this movie is because of his acting ability. Kudos David for your success its well deserved. BTW everyone did you know that David is playing the lead role in that movie coming out next year Scream boat, based upon Steamboat Willie, which I believe he will do a phenomenal job. Looking forward to seeing that movie as well. Check out the teaser trailer if you have not seen it yet.

[@artisticmemebean3]

He’s so silly and cute☺️😂

[@wayshinji]

David is not playing Art the Clown, David IS Art ! 😂

[@sanrio1222]

you can tell how much he appreciates his character, i love him

[@lazydazey9282]

David is so kind and talented

[@warmarmot1]

Kids and dogs still like him!

[@JennyKÖHLER-s3p]

Ich finde ihn klasse er bringt einem wirklich ein Lächeln aufs Gesicht. Und wie toll er mit den Kindern und fans umgeht.

[@VaguerCaesar790]

lol when David/Art casually strolls past someone cosplaying as him 5:10 😅😂 Idk why I found that so funny. Maybe he didn’t seem them?

[@FIGHTOLOGIST1982]

Bro was ready to give the other clown a fade 😂😂

[@Andrea_Solusek]

He is such a joy to watch!

[@clairerideau9015]

😂When he meets the Joker 😂😂😂 Keep the Art videos coming!!!

[@inkuna]

After seeing the first film I'd probably have the same response as the woman at 2:57 but now I'd probably playfully wave and blow him a kiss; he seems like a sweetheart.

[@WRXinthe410]

Was hoping Art would give her a hug.

[@inkuna]

@@WRXinthe410 That would have been nice but if she was that terrified he might of had to wait awhile for her to be comfortable. If she's ever at another Convention where Art is causing mischief hopefully by that time she won't be so scared of him heh heh

[@alexgremlin3680]

David Howard Thornton has WAY too much fun as Art.

[@aaronhemme8913]

Art the clown is the equivalent of Charlie Chaplin, and Nosferatu had a love child together.

[@JackxMyers]

I love how he embraces his character

[@glitterkitty1979]

Why is this so wholesome?! ❤😂❤😂

[@mistuhping4856]

His improvisation is crazy good

[@PetrikRoubal]

1:35 he meets with short michael myers

[@RikFTK]

If's so impressive how expressive he still is with a full face prostetic (it's a mask, not make-up) and big false teeth. Also love the game of paddy cake with the kid cosplaying the little girl clown from T2, she must have been over the moon.

[@DeadShot1307]

Lmao casually hugging Ross Marquand was gold

[@NewToxiiLee]

I typed in David talking as art the clown and ran into this waiting for him to talk he literally stays in character the wholeee time as art or whenever he’s in the suit AMAZING!!!!!

[@alejandrolamaperez7829]

David Howard Thornton you will always be famous ✨👏🏻

[@MC-jj9zd]

He is now!❤

[@birdofsatan]

He's the cutest! I love David's performance so much!

[@dustyawesome15]

I always love his reaction to other Killer Clown outfits!

[@btshea9537]

Art playing pattycake with that little girl was just too adorable

[@Crowe_Kun1]

Best horror franchise in a while, but holy fuck the kills are brutal...

[@mikkifly]

So iconic already This character is going to be massive ❤

[@shitpostpictures9397]

5:43 terrifier gets terrified

[@spacecat3198]

He's so good. I really don't like mimes and clowns, but he does the insane psychopathic killer but fun mime thing so well.

[@tonythedonluciano]

Pennywise didn't want the smoke! 😂

[@wwe07080909]

Already in my top 3 horror icons

[@mr.blonde5344]

These films are so fun!

[@daisysunshine1324]

David is just a really nice guy. He simply can’t be evil in real life.

[@TitanicFan1997]

The guy seems pretty cool. I'd like to meet him.

[@samanthacastle9376]

Wish Art was like that in the movies!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@tatertott2390]

Gosh i just love him, Art is such a charming endearing physcokiller 😍🥰

[@DogLoverAsmr]

This is awesome I'd be so excited if I was there and saw David Howard Thornton and even more so if he was in the Art the Clown costume.

[@jpsailorallaboardmatey461]

I'd say that's pretty accurate, Art really does make Michael Myers seem small and way less intimidating 😂

[@darthtater6543]

I would’ve loved actress Lauren LaVera dressed as Sienna in the Warrior Angel 👼 costume with the sword 🗡️ to show up.

[@KevinTheSpider]

When Art started dancing to the music .. haha

[@deathrott]

Art brings me more joy than Jollibee 😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂

[@hollywont9447]

Art & the Jeepers Creepers monster - the worst that can happen. 😂

[@dustinnewton8701]

This dude is so wholesome, love this guy even more.

[@gabrieldsilveiramkdigital]

When an amazing actor plays a fantastic character we have fun moments like these 😂❤

[@Gregory-c4z]

Me parece maravilloso que hagan este tipo de eventos! Magnífico Art the Clown gran actor! Genial, tierno y adorable el mini Michael Myers! Fuerte abrazo desde Bogotá Colombia.
