Thank you for watching my interview! If you liked it, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! I’m posting new celebrity interviews every week!

[@makmike301]

Art is Sienna's real father

[@rsigmond5422]

David is so humble, grateful and genuinely nice. He deserves all the succes he's receiving.

[@TheLongestTake]

Such a wholesome dude. So ironic he plays such a sadistic killer

[@franksan11]

Means he's a very good actor!

[@5Demona5]

Dude, the exact same thing happens with metal vocalists. They look brutal and evil on stage, but meet em after the show and they're usually huge softies

[@MatthewGurtner]

Watch interviews with the director Dameon Leone. He seems the same it’s really cool.

Hey Guys Do You Know About Buzz the Bee (Cheerios) Horror Movie Who Played Art the Clown Will Killer Bee Movie Killer Bee Release Date September 20, 2025 Coming Soon

[@Gunterforever]

Bro have u not seen school shooters lol they normally look just like this guy😂😂, its the nerds u have to be careful with lol

[@CHAD-RYAN]

Nightmare on elm street was absolutely terrifying to me in the early 90s and a child. Art the clown brings back nostalgia.

[@MatthewGurtner]

He’s like a completely silent Freddy which is ironic to say because of how many iconic one liners Freddy has 😂

[@heirrose1606]

Same. Terrifier 2 was the most 80s era iconic horror movie since then

[@5Demona5]

I found it really sweet you kept distance from the lil girl cause she was scared. I think she'll appreciate it when she's older 😂 5:35 that "Oh!" Face is so iconic, it's one of my favorite memes, and my husband does it constantly

[@catwoman8861]

He’s great with kids. I’ve seen a few videos of him interacting with little ones at conventions and they love him.

[@paulharris2682]

David Howard Thorton is one of the sweetest person in the world like Robert England... He loves to make his costars and kids laugh. That's a wonderful thing... Hes a true professional specially as a teacher... Hes a heartwarmin ❤❤❤ But once its time to perform omg !! I feel like if he could talk hed be a 1930s English man !!

[@rgrgrgr13rg]

Mad respect for this actor - what he is made to do is not easy for most actors, and to approach it with professionalism and care for cast and crew is so awesome to hear.

[@Marleykye_official]

Would love to see art fight Freddy Kruger however I would love to see art fight these other characters ( jeepers creepers , Victor Crowley , Johnny , michael myers and pin head) i think it would be interesting if art fought any of those characters

[@itiswhatitis141]

I hope they make a freddy vs Art movie in 2036

[@Immortal_Liberty]

Too early. I say 2065 more do

[@Instigator-wz5nn]

[@Endzeitstille]

But Art in outer space first!

[@chrispage2782]

I think it’d be awesome. But, ain’t. gonna. happen.

[@dudelebowskithe2nd373]

He is the coolest guy. Hard to believe he plays such a demonic character

[@comment0242]

Despite only done 3 soon 4 movies David to me has cemented himself already as one of the greatest horror movie killers of all time. Art is just a sick twisted killer. Let there be more art..

[@Scarymoviemaniac-youtube]

Art vs Ash? Definitely some hilarious stuff there besides the bloody violence. Any crossover idea like that would be just over the top! You are this generations Freddy Krueger for sure brother, congratulations!!!

[@Trevorjamminjames]

I love that he says he doesn't want to traumatize a girl like that but traumatized me in the theater with her scene 😆

[@jamisonisonify]

he doesn't wanna traumatize a child he says, then proceeds hacking people to bits lol

[@MatthewDuquetteKING]

I am a huge fan to him. I am so happy you’re talking to him right now❤️😁🎭

[@BreakingBatman187]

Love DHT and Robert Englund. I love how they decided, "Hey, what if Harpo Marx was an over-the-top serial killer? Let's run with it."

[@alanminne8185]

Art vs Killer Klowns from Outer Space!

[@tdom9640]

Victor Crowley VS art is still my dream. Lol

[@somersfamily]

He's such a sweet guy. We've met him a few times, and he's very nice( duh our photo 😂)

[@ItalianClown2003]

David Howard Thornton NEEDS to be the next Joker!

[@bigdaddyluisito]

Omg YES!!!!!

[@DanielThureskog]

He has mentioned that he would like to play Joker in the DCU.

[@rockkiller124]

Can't wait for Terrifier 3, David is such a chill dude

[@kmartdamien89]

Art is a horror Icon! Among the Great alongside Jason Freddy and Micheal, It's crazy to see this this grow in to what it's become today

[@PresidentGrant54]

Thorton is always an awesome interview. For me, I would love to see Art meet Pinhead, perhaps somehow tying the Pale Girl in with the Cenobites.

[@EricTrump-rs6vu]

the fact that david is such a kind heart treasure makes his value as Art so much better.Art is my new horror Hero

[@chrispage2782]

DHT seems like such a nice guy. I would say he’s extraordinarily lucky, but if you watch the movies (especially compared to the original short) you’ll notice he’s an extraordinary prerformer as Art. he brings to it a sense of improv and reactions that really illuminates his originality and uniqueness, which, like Robert England, can’t really be duplicated. Gotta say, I’m sort of jealous…

[@sebastianalegria3401]

Between Art the clown & Freddy Krueger, no comparison as they belong to different universes and about David, does anybody think he would be a great Joker?

[@joshuayork8362]

I hope we would get a female slasher one day.

[@Jagm177-f9o]

Only in the US can such a violent movie be taken so lightly, it's almost puzzling.

[@aaronw.bennett6776]

#1 movie in France today... 18+ restriction included.

[@aham420]

David rocks , love what he does .

[@dentxn]

Such a cool dude, I need to actually meet him, he’s from Huntsville, AL where I commute literally daily

[@carly4082]

I would love it if they did a background story on Art but the director said not knowing makes people wanna watch the movies even more

[@t.s.sheppeard44]

Art against Ash! Holy cow!

[@heirrose1606]

I want David Howard Thornton to BE the next Freddy Kreuger w/ Damian Leone the obvious best choice to reboot Nightmare on Elm Street. *Might not be a fit because Freddy does get sexual stuff going on s0 maybe if it's part of the character DHT would be down. That Nurse from Dream Warriors still haunts me.

[@catwoman8861]

What a sincerely lovely man.

[@samanthawoodward7551]

My kids absolutely loved these films. The moment the girl clown shits whatever in the launderette they burst into laughter. It's funny 80's gore horror and it's a fun watch. Not something that would give kids nightmares. Absolute genius horror films. I can not wait to see #3.

[@TheLadyDelirium]

Are you serious? I love horror but would definitely not let kids watch the Terrifier films.

[@heirrose1606]

That was a miscarriage not diarrhea. Remember, she was sitting on a bench. Last time I checked poop comes out the back not the front. Definitely not for kids though, that's your own damage.

[@benjijones8673]

Love what you’ve done as Art 🏆 definitely a new icon in horror. As far as harm to children, must I bring up “All Hallows Eve”? Even tho you didn’t play Art in that movie 😅 the original character definitely didn’t hold anything back

[@tifferzturner]

Omg what a sweetheart he is .. he actually cares about the well being of the kids on the film set ! I love to hear this & that he respected the little girl cuz she was so scared of him . I can’t wait to see this movie ❤ 🤡

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

1000% Art the Clown.....David Howard Thornton. If there is an Academy or Grammys or some kinda award for BEST ACTOR and BEST HORROR Film, I VOTE T3 and DHT!

[@BelladonnaXIII]

Robert englund said he'd only willing to be doing an animated series so if david played art in an animated series it could be against freddy, that would be epic and needs to happen

[@JohnPeters80]

Go against Victor Crowley.. Be a very bloody movie.

[@kennethmarks4502]

Hell yeah, I would love to see that movie. They or both brutal demons. 👍🤘🤘

[@carly4082]

I would love to see a fight with Art and Pennywise

[@nevg21]

Love him! Freddy is the GOAT and Art is his apprentice!

[@mishalleroza-ingram6394]

I am such a fan!! David is so nice, looking forward to meeting him at Days of the Dead Chicago in November 😊 So excited to see Terrifier 3! I got the Art the Clown animatronic from Spirit Halloween too and it's awesome 🎃

[@KrystianFractal]

First true Icon since Ghostface. He is 21st Century Freddy .

[@Kim-vr5ql]

I agree

[@ferntin4479]

Absolute star I am a huge fan.

[@mortagon1451]

I'd be down for a match between old and new horror icons. Freddy needs to step up his game if he's going to beat Art in the killing department though, Freddy's kills are child's play compared to Arts.

[@Gunterforever]

I didn’t think we could get any worse than jason and freedy, but they have def been surpassed by this guy

[@paulysmallz8095]

Demon/vicky had no problem with the sexual stuff she was doing work with that glass while art was being naughty his reaction to it was hilarious

[@landmine217]

I spy Lego Ninjago

[@generalhotpizza480]

We spy lego ninjago

[@wingzero7316]

I think in real world it be close between Art the Clown and Freddy. Jason would destroy Art.

[@mortagon1451]

I think Freddy would destroy Art if he was able to get into his dreams but in a pure fight I think it would be close.

[@benjijones8673]

Nonetheless! Very humble, very modest and respectful

[@Robert-nx9ew]

Freddy vs art would be legendary. I think Krueger would humble Art, tho.

[@conejoXX209]

You could stick PIN-HEAD in their at the end like they were going to do in."FREDDY vs JASON"

[@Instigator-wz5nn]

Well Since Robert Englund can’t play him anymore, they could get the guy from Dylans New Nightmare.

[@destroctoid]

can u guys bring art the clown song the one with the drums and piano that so goes with him thats his song thats dope u guys should make it his eaither intro or wen theres gonna be a good kill scene

[@theplothickens]

Wow, the difference between the actor and the character he plays is shocking.

Aside from the development potential of TERRIFIER I could also see something happen with M3GAN and THE SUBSTANCE.

Freddy vs Art is a stupid idea. Yeah, let's turn the Terrifier franchise into crap like all these other franchises! Or we could just keep it at 3-4 awesome movies.

[@ractsninjas]

One is just disgusting and one is actually scary, that's the difference. Nightmare on elm Street is a quality movie, with real scares.

[@michaelkendall1263]

Nightmare on elm street has one of the worst endings in horror history and isn't scary in the slightest tbh. Maybe in the 80s

[@EyeXombie]

There is no comparison. Art is no were near the level of Roberts Freddy.

[@skidrow1800]

BE REAL! Art the clown is nowhere near as iconic as Freddy. Im sorry having 2 movies doesn’t make u brave enough to even speak about something like this. Not even in the same sentence. Shame on him for not respecting true horror legends and thinking he can star in a movie against Freddy.

[@catwoman8861]

Oh get over yourself. It was a largely hypothetical question anyway, he wasn’t making a pitch, but who are you to declare the character unworthy? Millions LOVE the movies and the fact there’s only been THREE so far does not disqualify him from taking a place amongst the other icons.

[@Bevity]

And yet we love him. A lot. I like Freddy but I love Art.

[@michaelkendall1263]

He didn't say anything remotely fucking close to that. You are a stupid person
