David Howard Thornton looks like he would't hurt a fly then he completely changes when in character.

[@robertpreston2220]

IDK I have seen him be not so nice on his social media outlets. he and art have more in common than people think

[@KHWADI]

people enjoyed Terrifier 2 more than Halloween Ends.

[@tjplaya1156]

Terrifier 2 is better than Halloween Ends...I was literally on the edge of my seat all movie, it was gruesome, brutal, terrifying, and captivating throughout.

[@donalddean2037]

Halloween Ends sucked

[@the1wholovesyou]

@@tjplaya1156 not to mention that it’s also visually appealing. The color palette and hues of the film is so nice to see, you can tell a lot of thought and detail went into it which is one of the things I loved about terrifier 2

[@briangaron7609]

I enjoyed the please turn off your phones video before the movie more than Halloween ends

[@judbaker5752]

Both scripts were written by 9 year olds but terrifier is bloodier so it wins I guess

[@WolfataDoor]

It is so awesome to see a grassroots horror franchise getting this level of recognition while doing great at the box office!

[@lonelypigeon7562]

producers nowadays dont EVEN have the "balls" to show ripped out dicks to eyeballs!!! Congrats to this production crew/team that finally kicks a$$

Yeah people need to stop supporting Avengers and shits like that and make creative cinema back on track !! That would be dope

Too bad the films are just torture porn.

[@starshineraiser6729]

I think Terrifier 2 may be my favorite movie of all time. For how sick it is, the acting is top of the line.

[@unstablegenius2325]

This TERRIFER 2 was on a different level. Great Slasher film. I loved the music soundtrack, special and sound effects . What a great acting crew too. Ruthlessly, funny.

[@IanSolano]

I believe Art will be seen with the other legends of horror. It's awesome to see the gradual build up of this lunattic.

[@kimmyfreak200]

i love how damien picked an actor known only for comedy to play Art...just brilliant

[@Ticona2]

David Howard Thornton brings sooooooo much to this character. Not many actors can pull off a speechless character, but he does it the best I have ever seen and I'm in my 50's. I hate to diss anyone, but look at the first guy that had the role. Good job but David Howard Thornton was born for this role. He says so much without saying a word and the audience gets it, crazy, Very scary and creepy but some how is still funny, only he could pull it off. With out a doubt the new big Halloween favorite for years to come!

[@lukelmaooooo]

Damien Leone and DHT deserve all the love. they're both horror geniuses

[@Sara_MZK]

I've noticed over the years that so many of the great people directly involved in the making of horror, are some of the nicest, peaceful, most mild-mannered people you could ever hope to meet. Yet so many that are opposed to these kinds of films are the complete opposite. I think the master Wes Craven said it best, that horror films don't create fear and anger, they release it. Terrifier 2 was an epic display of classic gory horror turned up to 11, just a spectacular and wonderful horror movie on every level. I actually cried at the end of it, that's how much invested I was in it. Art is a horror icon, and Terrifier 2 is a slasher classic, up there with the very best in the genre.

[@christiannugraha1011]

Speaking of mild mannered horror creator, Junji Ito came to my mind.

[@berniebranches2472]

So true!!

[@jiririnagl302]

So what? Josef Fritzl according to friends and neighbors was one of the nicest man they ever met.This applies on many killers actually.Being nice on public means shit.

[@Sara_MZK]

@@jiririnagl302 You're not seriously trying to compare the act of making a horror movie, with the despicable crimes committed by the likes of Josef Fritzl? I sincerely hope not. Sure, sometimes a person's public persona is very different to the way are in private, but that's something that can be applied to everyone.

[@BlueDaemonful]

Terrifier is incredible. It deserves to be on that same level as Freddy and Jason imo. Beyond just the gore, Art is such a cool character with so much personality. I always think of him as Mr Bean from an alternate dimension where he was born and raised in Silent Hill. lol.

[@masterjenkins632]

Art is my favourite nowadays i think, he's vicious but has me in fits of laughter with his goofiness and sinisterness lol

[@thousandyoung]

This Guy put Italian Guro Style on Trend again. It's great that Savini is his Inspiration. Specially when Practical Effects are a Dying Art Form.

[@briangaron7609]

The illusion of horror is something I've always appreciated. The original "The Haunting" from the early 60's was always my favorite which is funny because there wasn't a drop of blood and then I loved Terrifier.

[@berniebranches2472]

I love how scary Art is, like if he gets hurt he doesn’t even grunt!! It’s so scary!!!

[@donataspuidokas2601]

he somehow manages to not scream

[@MrMusic193]

I think they should open up a restaurant, called the clown Café, and make food a little funny

[@lauraclegg794]

I just love Art the clown, definitely my favourite horror character now. David acts him perfectly. Art not speaking is way more scary. I always thought I preferred practical effects, now I know for sure. Best practical effects I've ever seen x

Jerry O’ Connell was in Stand By Me too which was based on Stephen King’s story The Body. This character Art is so fascinating and disturbing and hilarious. Loved Terrifier and 2 and I don’t even like gore. So cool to know Art crashing the tricycle was an outtake. Was one of my favorite parts from Terrifier. Needed the comic relief from the disgust lol

[@dem0litionsss]

@Mariana D'Amelio definitely not. the whole point of the movies is the extreme gratuitous gore. when you think the camera is going to cut away because “no they definitely cant show that”, the camera focuses on it even more

I will be honest I did not watch the first Terrifier but I saw that the second one was on and I only made it through to the beginning of Allie’s death. I gave up I couldn’t do it, I was just not strong enough, the brutality of the opening kill was just something I should’ve just shut off, I am here to get to know the creative team behind it because I’d rather focus on that then focusing on the movie.
