This is where I met David. He was the greatest. The event didn’t have it all together with the photo ops and the autograph line so we all kept getting delayed but it was a great day none the less

[@StephanieRenaeReptiles]

This is such a wholesome cast and I’m so glad to see the success these movies have achieved.

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

Applause to Damien Leone, David H. Thornton and the rest of the cast AND THE Magnificient TALENTED CREW!!!! ALL YOU GUYS literally "KILLED IT" :D!!!! in a positive way :)

[@kyleord]

The effects are exactly why I love these movies. Always been interested in the behind the scenes creation of these gags

[@unscripted3209]

After watching these panels I appreciate Terrifier 1 much more, it doesn't seem as twisted anymore lol

[@RC_928]

Would love to see a prequel and finding out the origins of Art The Clown

[@ellisking13x29]

That could either make or break his mysterious and ambiguous aura

[@fullershady_cob3126]

Absolutely love this plus it's absolutely hilarious David is such a crazy fun dude

[@KYUSOFLY-YT]

54:36 chainsaws are fun *wink* David was hinting at the terrifier 3 chainsaw scene 😂

[@kerry53421]

I fucking love all of them. The fans of Terrifier and cast are all so down to earth

[@beccareichard6669]

First of all, “pale girl” and “blonde girl” and “the girl who needs media training“ has a name. She is Amelie McLain. She was 13 when she was in Terrifier 2, making her probably 15 at the time of this so she’s very young. This is her first con and probably the biggest crowd she’s been interviewed in. Unfortunately because of the comments I couldn’t really focus on the rest of the cast because I was studying what people brought up about her. As someone who took a criminal justice course on body language, it’s clear to me that she’s nervous. Especially after looking at the crowd, or potentially looking elsewhere. She’s doing a lot of fidgeting, especially when it comes to her nails and it’s hard to tell but she’s probably picking at them. She also scratches her head and neck a lot, fidgets with the microphone wires, does short clapping close to her body and covers her mouth and chin a lot with the posture of her arm and hand. She doesn’t need media training. She’s being herself, and the more she takes part in these sort of things, the more she will get used to it and relax a bit more. I’ve seen it with other actors in panels and interviews. A lot of people think that if a person can act in front of a camera, that means they can handle things like this which isn’t true, especially as a first timer. People in this comment section need to chill and take these things into consideration. She did a great job and answered questions very well.

[@snakeskinrug5352]

agreed!!

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

she's still kinda young and unexperienced yet.....so yeah guys, chill on her. If she's reading this after the interview, she did GREAT as that pale gal....GOOD JOB!

[@_Hitechlowlife]

@@beccareichard6669 None of that translates as to why she said the possum carcass was real when it wasn’t. Makes even less sense when she said she had to eat it after for a scene. Thats a PR nightmare…

[@ramiroherrerajr.5928]

She’s a talented actress - the pale girl. She’s been on General Hospital soap opera show for years.

[@kyotoghost]

I don’t think you have enough skin in the game to make any comments about this young girl. Your “criminal justice course” that you probably took at your local COMMUNITY college - more than likely was less than 2 months and means ZERO.

[@SirLawrence777]

Thank you for this video is was amazing

[@FSK69]

I'm super excited for this movie, i wanna support it so much, but it's not even streaming in theaters in Romania.......WHAT THE HELL....

[@jamisonisonify]

im so inspired by these films im going to write a few different script ideas of my own and present them to Damien, its sparked quite a passion of horror ive had since i was little

[@t.s.sheppeard44]

I met Tom Savini at a Fangoria con. I had no idea he had a small appearance in Terrifier 3! Can't wait to see it!

[@5Demona5]

Did you see T3? What did you think of it?

[@williamafton4427]

I love how every so often David goes into Art-mode and makes these silly expressions XD

[@totalshockfiction]

Loved it thanks for the upload great questions too 👏

[@itiswhatitis141]

watching terrifier 2 as the first horrorfilm ever lol

[@sickopathogen]

Brutal beginnings 😅

[@mr.halloween589]

amazing panel

[@robdilauro4344]

David has no idea he is a major icon

[@MR.__G]

I knew that after watching the 1st films. There are some things you can just tell way ahead of time. His performance was nothing short of brilliant. Now we’re in the 3rd film and it continues to get better

[@maggiemccauslin1084]

It's definitely not easy to just act with your body and facial expressions like he has to for Art...

[@bekindrewind335]

Asking someone how they would want to be killed is a really weird question haha. I’d be like, “Security…”

[@joshmiller117]

David as The Mask, like in the comics dark and violent mask?! YES PLEASE!

[@WretchedDrummer]

Great interview

[@saulojoelchang4745]

Hollywood hate terrifier so much

[@KrisBryant99]

One of the times I agreed with Hollywood 😅

[@DarkestStarASMR]

So you have bad taste in horror? Mkay..nothing to be ashamed off 😂 ​@@KrisBryant99

[@brandonwhite4992]

​@@KrisBryant99I can understand not liking the movie, however the story of this film and the creator should be celebrated and is the anthesis of Hollywood

[@KrisBryant99]

@brandonwhite4992 Brandon it's funny you mention that because I decided yesterday to give this franchise a try 😆

[@coolshirtkid]

i bet they’re changing their mind right now, only thing that matters to hollywood is dollar signs

[@JoKiR90]

Lauren is so perfect 😍

[@patrickarnold7382]

I like how these guys aren’t scared to drop bad words when talking to the fans.

[@Jrgoat3d]

Damian needs to make a reboot of Friday the 13th bc that’s my fav franchise and I also love the art the clown franchise

[@sebastianalegria3401]

I just watched Terrifier, and I really fascinated by the result of the film in the spite of the movie contains scenes graphically gore. As a result, I could forget about the wrong time I spent watching Joker 2 at theaters, actually the guy who plays Art the Clown, would be a great Joker for a Batman's next movie.

[@spyrovapes1769]

I love this but I feel like Amelie got left out too much

[@juanizquierdo1737]

Damien Leone for Friday the 13th!!! Yes, please!!!

[@visualpr3cision]

Shoutout the visit!

[@MindOfJigsaw1]

Amelie McLain is hilarious

[@Jackie2023.]

The guy in the metallica shirt sounds like Seth rogen. And once you hear it you will not on hear it. David needs to do a stand up tour. As art.

[@nihilblack4625]

David flirting with fans and everything 24/7

[@KateThomas-vu7qe]

If you wanted to join the movie for terrifier 4 what would you do or were would you go

[@CarrieArt7]

I'd love to see a Friday the 13th movie with Damon as director. I could see how Jason X's nitrogen scene inspired one of Terrifier 3's kills.

[@_Anna_1992]

David💥

[@rainbowsix94]

4th of July terrifier imagine the kills art could have with some Chinese fireworks

[@stuartallen8310]

Always liked Art

[@kyleord]

Damien is so sexy ❤

[@HORRIFIER-z5y]

😂😂😂

[@shunsuikyoraku5428]

Art cant talk, David cant shut up lol

[@ashermitchell2794]

For real. Dude hijacked the thing for sooooo long.

[@martianhighmile9088]

@@ashermitchell2794shut up crab ass boi. You’re a sad person hating on good people.

[@martianhighmile9088]

Not really

[@maggiemccauslin1084]

If you don't like him talking you don't have to watch

[@benjaminmartinez1638]

Damn David Howard Thornton has grey hair ?!! I didn't think he was that old unless he has the same condition Richard Gere does and yet he has the most energy by far. Thats just crazy!!!

[@maggiemccauslin1084]

He's not that old he's only 44... everyone gets gray hair at different times

[@5Demona5]

​@@maggiemccauslin1084 yeah, my dad had mostly white hair by 36

[@tumbletooter9331]

7:44 I thought a rat started running

[@MichelleHenleyJohnson]

lol. I see it too! 😂

[@5Demona5]

😂😂😂😂 happened with a few other heads too

[@rnbsn777]

To anyone who has seen this movie. Can someone explain to me what the little girl who was hiding in the kitchen cabinets in the first santa axe scene has to do with this movie. Did she live or did art get her. Also gabby and seinna are cousins? I may be just stupid not understanding this

[@justinacton8897]

Art definitely got her, and yes they are cousins

[@rnbsn777]

@justinacton8897 what was the point in distinguishing 5 years earlier and present day if the beginning santa scene had nothing to do with major story significance.

[@ominousangel7661]

​@@rnbsn777 Its where Art got the toys he handled to the children in the shopping scene

[@Feelmonsteroficial]

Various mannerisms of "ART, the Clown" remind me a lot of a friend of mine. It's as weird as it is cool!🤡

[@codyraystrimple5659]

I’m dying to know what the scene was that almost got David to puke! 😂

[@GeorgeWashington283]

The final scene due to the heat and smells

[@SickTwisted]

it was the smell of fake throw up

[@hiigghhggg9150]

I think it was the rat scene

[@SauloVideoGameReview]

Blumhouse founder Jason Blum don't really care or not interested see terrifier franchise because he not a big fan of b slasher movie at all 🙄

[@JoKiR90]

Maybe if he watched some b slashers he’d get back on track and actually produce something GOOD. He hasn’t funded anything worth watching since Halloween Kills.

[@shunsuikyoraku5428]

Damien bored AF

[@Hobblone-xe3jv]

Ooooohhhhh....pale hirl don't like being left out of Terrifier 3.

[@artterrifierclown]

I love the little pale girl, my kids think shes bad ass

[@shawnchavez1209]

Is it just me or the pale girl was maybe just tired at that point cuz I’m sure that’s what it was

[@baddlucky1996]

🩷

[@KidKash-p4c]

Heheh...Real life inspired movies not the otherway.

[@GZP1023]

Kid that plays Jonathan is a terrible actor

[@idkwhofaithis]

probably cause terrifier 2 was his first movie

[@ashermitchell2794]

28:07 Good lord, the girl needs media training. Damien’s probably cringing this whole time how she said that it was a real opossum. And they stayed on that topic for awhile.

[@martianhighmile9088]

She’s literally 15 years old bro. No need to be a douche about it. She played the little creepy clown girl in part 2. I bet you’re the worst person to hang around.

[@_Hitechlowlife]

Lmfao went right to the comments for this. She said it was real which for fucks sake she knows it wasn’t because she then followed up by saying she had to eat it it’s innards made of strawberry or whatever. You’re also making Damien look like he has to contact PETA to inform them that it wasn’t real. 🤣 very dumb response from her.

[@rendoesnotpost]

She’s 15 here. Relax.

[@_Hitechlowlife]

@@rendoesnotpostLmao what does that mean? She’s 15 and that means she can state a falsehood as ridiculous as the possum being real?

[@rendoesnotpost]

@@_Hitechlowlife What? No. I’m saying that you need to relax on every word she speaks, because everyone else in the comments is also flaming her. She’s clearly nervous for the entire panel so cut her some slack.

[@Hobblone-xe3jv]

Yeahhhhhhhh...let the parents decide; let the kids do drugs, break the law, have rlnsps w/ adults....

[@Hobblone-xe3jv]

Director/writer just destroyed what everybody DID like about Art the Clown.Totally girly chick flick move.It's curtains for franchise now.

[@ComradeJustin]

"girly chick flick movie" Dude is just saying anything now and straight up lying lmao you're the only one who thinks that

[@Lizrose03]

What do you even mean lmaoo

[@abatt4233]

Art is arguably more brutal & vicious now than he was in the first movie. Dunno what you are on

[@JoKiR90]

Oh boy 😂 someone’s upset

[@sissel2]

people just be saying anything nowadays 😭😭😭

[@stevegiordano7544]

The blonde girl looks like she wishes she was anywhere but there. She doesn't even clap or anything, she just hates being there.

[@vaiman7777]

Maybe it’s new to her, as she mentioned. Not everyone loves being the centre of attention.

[@MichelleHenleyJohnson]

She’s a child. Typical teenage behavior.

[@rendoesnotpost]

She’s 15 and her first panel. Of course she looks nervous. You guys need to relax.

[@PowuhToSeven]

​@@rendoesnotpostall of a sudden everyone forgets their first time speaking publicly if they ever did.

[@Lizrose03]

Brother she's 15
