Terrifier director and makeup fx artist Damien Leone transforms David Howard Thornton into the murderous Art the Clown. Behind the scenes of Terrifier (2016)
Franchesca Sanchez the movie should’ve been rated b the acting was bad the blood was exaggerated (too much and not realistic) I would’ve rated the movie 1/10
@@lilygreen4186 I think the bad acting and overuse of blood was done on purpose in the film, to give it the vibe of an 80s slasher film or grindhouse film
The kills were good. Art was good. But everything else wasn't. I hated the beginning and ending with victoria. Like I said, the clown is good. I love David's performance In this
By far one of my favorite, and I'm a clown fan. I must agree his facial expression were very well put together he even added a hint of humor to them lol
Hey everyone! Art here. I've noticed a lot of questions asking about the release. It's coming soon! We are having a limited run in theaters March 15th-16th and then releasing on VOD on March 27th! DVD and Blu-ray has yet to be announced but should be later this year (probably summer). Thanks so much for your patience! I am sure you all will love it!
Well, Well.. I say, I say Hello There Mr. Thornton, or should I say "ART THE CLOWN?" This be Isaiah Cline speaking. As of yesterday, I ALREADY became A FAN!! I hadn't seen one of your movies yet, but I was just surfing Redbox in Nashville TN, and seen Art The Clown on the screen. It was the sequel to your first flick. So I postponed renting it. This morning, (9/2/18) I started watching Netflix. Lo and be hold, your film of TERRIFIER, was ready to be watched. So I did. Let's just say, I will be going back to Redbox tonight, to get your sequel. VERY WELL!! I have another CLOWN HERO, besides THE INSANE CLOWN POSSE!!
That's what I said to. We are used that people speak or respond , not judt look at you for prolonged times. That's considered preditory. My guess is a very primal clue.
It’s crazy how someone who looks so friendly before the transformation can turn into such a terrifying look. He did a great job as art the clown. I love that fact that he’s a mime since it adds to the mystique.
The original Art didn’t come close to David’s version, btw I saw him in person last weekend at Monster Mania and I got a picture with him in full costume so awesome.
100% the scariest clown imo Also, David Thornton is what makes the whole character and movie honestly. If it wasn’t for his brilliant performance I don’t think the movie would have been perceived as well as it was. The kills are awesome, so also credit to the practical effects team.
honestly if hellyweird wasn't so filled with incompetents, he would have got a call the very next day, how the hell don't they recognize they have the new jim carrey right in front of them ?
@@mrpoopybuttface LOL dumbass don't be stupid. Pennywise uses fear to kill people. Art has no fear plus Art is supernatural just like Pennywise. Fuck off kid
I wonder what Art's expressions would look like without makeup. Like how Bill Skarsgard did the Pennywise face without any makeup and it looked scarier than it did in the movie.
God this dude is an insanely captivating actor. The way he plays art is perfect. The facial movements, the personality. Everything. I don't think I've ever seen a horror character with that level of personality without having to say a word
Everyone in this movie is fantabulous!!!! Can't wait for number 3! And to hopefully meet all of you soon when you come to New York!! I can't wait till July for the first terrifier to come back👍 😊
I always laughed when people said they were scared of clowns, until I watched this movie and now I understand. He was amazing in this role. Genuinely terrifying.
This is one of the few horror movies that actually made me uneasy and uncomfortable during some of the scenes. Art the clown is just straight up nightmare fuel. Excellent work, I'm so stoked for the sequel!
What I really admire about this whole process is how they would’ve had to have gotten every scene where blood was on Art’s face perfect, because otherwise they would’ve had to go through the makeup process all over again. Dedication!!
It's amazing to see this makeup process go and Damien worked really hard to get the makeup just right for David's Character of Art The Clown, and of course the way David Howard Thornton plays Art bring an amazing and terrifying performance! :)
Thank you for finally releasing terrifier 2!! It's like watching John carpenters the thing, but its art the clown torturing people. I just love the effort put into these films instead of just zeros and ones.
A very rare horror movie where its gory as fuck but also very scary and not campy. Also a huge props to Mr. Damien Leone who does the make up, directing/editing and promoting. That is very tough to balance those all and still crank out a fucking awesome movie.
I've watched both movies. Great performance by David Thornton, never easy to act without any lines. I also send my congrats to the whole crew but especialy to the art department. Considering the films budget, all those costumes, decorations, inner and outer places are very well created and organised and also sound effects and soundtracks of Paul Wiley deserve an extra credit. I hope we learn much more about the art clown in the third movie.
This movie was a great treat this Halloween season. Even though it was set in modern day, the atmosphere and aesthetic really took me back in time. Mr. Thornton killed his role, pun absolutely intended. It was as effective as Heath Ledgers Joker. He's sadistic, cruel, creepy, terrible, nearly every derogatory term, but you also can't help but be mesmerized every moment David is on screen he plays it so well. He's also genuinely funny at times. To make a character so legitimately scary, but also, kind of fun, cannot be an easy feat, but the performance and top notch make up design deliver in spades. I also really enjoyed the music. The gore effects were well done too. Last but not least, all the actors did great as well. Especially Catharine Corcoran, who really took one for the team in order to deliver Arts most brutal kill. I can't imagine it was an easy scene to shoot. I hope to see Art again and other projects from these creators in the near future.
I love ‘Terrifier’! Such a good, and truly faithful throwback to the ‘70s Grindhouse and ‘80s slashers! I’m not a fan of clown horror films, I think they’re criminally overrated, but making Art a mime, and how he’s filmed, along with his portrayal (yes, I know DTH has done Joker impersonations as well), I think really works to the film’s advantage! One thing I really enjoy is how both Leone and Howard has come forward to deny speculations on the character. A lot of people like to speculate, or even show their degree in psychology.... From Wikipedia, that Art is misogynist or had maternal issues, and if you try to tell them it don’t think that’s the case’, they like to think it’s subjective and ‘Well in MY OPINION, he IS’, but then the creator and actor step in to say ‘No he’s not’, so it’s not as subjective. I wish more filmmakers and actors touched upon their creations and put some ‘Well in MY OPINION’s to rest.
I just want to say the biggest thank you for doing this makeup forming this character and bringing a real horror back into clowns. Love the movie. Cant wait for 2nd film
Eli Roth almost created another horror legend but decided to kill him off with the “clown”movie which in my opinion was original and very unique The it movies were a flop with scenes that had potential, one great performance shrouded by a sea of drastically stretched out ideas The saviour of horror in this era is art the clown and the terrifyer movies I’m so bloody proud of all who had a hand in creating these masterpieces The true fans asked for it without uttering a word And finally we were given something that wasn’t regurgitated from the bowels of someone else’s work Terrifyer 2 is art the clown coming of age as what could be his step up onto the throne of horror greats with our 80s classics like Michael myers , Jason vorhees and Freddy kruger My heart is filled with joy tonight as I write this 🎉 Thanks for giving me hope again All movies to follow here on have very big blood soaked clown shoes to fill !!🎉
David Howard Thornton deserves serious recognition for his performance as Art the Clown. This is no easy roll to pull off. He is about as creepy, spooky, unnerving, and downright scary than any other actor could possibly duplicate!
Without a single line ! We are used to be spoken to or at least answered. So being stared at is just ....hostile. And a primal sign of agression - as some animals have shown people. Also smiling WIDE - because it's showing teeth... It all plays on our primal instincts.
Like cinema student i'm really impressionated by the production. They counted with a low budget (compared with big productions that we use to see) and maked such realist practical visual effects. Really hat off to Damien and all his team behind Terrifier. (Sorry bad english xd)
I didn't know Terrifier movie exist. when the sequel came it started circulating all over the internet and especially on my recommendation and man this both movies are scary af. after watching both movies i now find 'IT' to be nothing. guy playing Art is astounding. you deserve more recognitions.
Just my opinion but David is the best of the best when it comes to being a creepy clown. The fact that he doesn’t speak and can convey such a horrifying aura but yet is the sweetest person in real life only adds to the persona. The behind the scenes peek is also amazing. ❤
Not exactly because Terrifier is basicly a movie that took this character from all hallows eve so I am not going to consider Terrifier 2 a sequel to a sequel but a sequel to Terrifier. 👍👍👍
I’ve yet to watch either of these two films because I’m not the biggest fan of slashers. But recently I saw the laundromat scene randomly on UA-cam and I was hooked. Brilliant stuff. So now I’m doing all this behind the scenes diving and falling even more in love with the films… before I even watch them. I’m thinking this weekend. Cheers 🍻 as a die hard fan of horror, I’m happy to be excited about something fun to watch.
Awesome movie!! Got 2 copies and am already looking for a sequel. This movie explains why I fell in love with horror movies. Great Job, keep up the good work!!
I watched the movie awhile back and MAN IT WAS AWESOME. I love this. So cool. Hopefully we get to see Art the Clown in more movies. I'd even take some online shorts.
Pure comedy! Laughed a lot at this insane buffon!!! Masterful acting. If not for Phoenix, Ledger and Jester, my favorite clown. The proud of the profession!!! Downloaded both movies and watched both today. Now, they MUST make the third masterpiece. Pure comedy!
AWESOME! I'm so excited about Terrifier! Dude, you should do a subscription web series (kinda like the Trailer Park Boys did with Swearnet) starring Art the Clown. You would have a shit-ton of subscribers (me included)!
this movie was pretty scary for a clown movie. He played Art really well. his facial expressions were definitely on point. super creepy

'For a clown movie'? Are you saying clown movies are usually not scary?

David your a good actor but that crotch scene was nasty 😷 sick bastard lmao
Your acting is astonishing! Really made me shit myself LMAO
@@isaiahcline8705 M'lady
David Thornton The simple fact you were Vulnerable so many times during the movie, could have been killed truly pissed me off
He is like a mime from hell, absolutely stunning performance. The fact he makes no sounds makes him even more terrifying.
Fun fact! He is actually a trained mime!
Hence the name - Terrifier.
@@toneswap He is?
@@Akamo. He is lying too you
That's what I said to. We are used that people speak or respond , not judt look at you for prolonged times. That's considered preditory. My guess is a very primal clue.

Has to be the scariest clown Ive ever seen
Yeah for sure! He is so good not only the looks but the mentality of art aswell is on point.
This movie made my skin crawl so much I had to watch IT to cheer me up
Don’t think anyone could be Art The Clown like David. The man knows how to make this character absolutely terrifying!
The original Art didn’t come close to David’s version, btw I saw him in person last weekend at Monster Mania and I got a picture with him in full costume so awesome.
@@SeaTK610 The Original who play art is not as good but still pretty good imo
Not gonna lie, this one of the top low budget horror movies
It absolutely is. I was blown away and over impressed. This is absolutely what I was looking for out of modern horror.
Absolutely true
Had to watch this so i wont be scared
Same, just finished watching terrifier
Me too
Bruh me too I had a panic attack
I pissed my bed after watching it
Same
100% the scariest clown imo
Also, David Thornton is what makes the whole character and movie honestly. If it wasn’t for his brilliant performance I don’t think the movie would have been perceived as well as it was.
The kills are awesome, so also credit to the practical effects team.
If you think HE is the scariest clown, read IT sometime. The movies were nothing like the book, unfortunately.
Art has nothing on the real Pennywise.
honestly if hellyweird wasn't so filled with incompetents, he would have got a call the very next day, how the hell don't they recognize they have the new jim carrey right in front of them ?
Was it the scariest clown? Was he scary or just ugly?
Art the clown is the only clown that scares me. Pennywise got nothing on him 💀💀
Same here Art scares the shit outta me😅
Same, but it isn't the makeup it's the mannerisms
imma edit my last comment and say, pennywise scared me as a kid, but art scares me as an adult
But pennywise is is much much more powerful
@@mrpoopybuttface LOL dumbass don't be stupid. Pennywise uses fear to kill people. Art has no fear plus Art is supernatural just like Pennywise. Fuck off kid
I wonder what Art's expressions would look like without makeup. Like how Bill Skarsgard did the Pennywise face without any makeup and it looked scarier than it did in the movie.
lol that's really cool. Not cool when I had literal nightmare about this clown after watching the first film though. -_-
rabbitmaze it’s funny tho I was laughing so hard
Thats when you know its a good horror movie
Honestly, this was the most horrifying clown movie I've ever seen. I almost pissed myself watching this movie, and I'm not usually scared of clowns 😓
you´re pretty girl
God this dude is an insanely captivating actor. The way he plays art is perfect. The facial movements, the personality. Everything. I don't think I've ever seen a horror character with that level of personality without having to say a word
Can’t wait for the 2nd movie coming October 2020!!
MetaDeth I’m sure it won’t be. Most movies are going straight to streaming or Blu-ray now a days
sameeeeee
How this man turned from someone that looks so wholesome to art being art is amazing
Who knew he'd be handsome behind the makeup
I might scare people but I think I found my Halloween costume this year 😂
Jokerz X njghgfd
Same boiiiii
Sames
I dressed up as eyeless Jack and walked past a 2 year old who yelled and ran away crying. I just looked around and kept walking
This makeup takes like 3 hours 😂
Everyone in this movie is fantabulous!!!! Can't wait for number 3! And to hopefully meet all of you soon when you come to New York!! I can't wait till July for the first terrifier to come back👍 😊
It takes a tremendous amount of talent to convey the emotions and intent through mime. Art you are an excellent performer.
He was born for this role, absolutely stunning performance!
I always laughed when people said they were scared of clowns, until I watched this movie and now I understand. He was amazing in this role. Genuinely terrifying.
Damien Leone is a pretty talented guy... does the make up and everything damn.
He truly creates his monster
This is one of the few horror movies that actually made me uneasy and uncomfortable during some of the scenes. Art the clown is just straight up nightmare fuel. Excellent work, I'm so stoked for the sequel!
Art the clown shows what a horror movie should be like! He makes Pennywise a good comedian!
What I really admire about this whole process is how they would’ve had to have gotten every scene where blood was on Art’s face perfect, because otherwise they would’ve had to go through the makeup process all over again. Dedication!!
So sick, dude. I love it. Can't wait for this film to come out!
Thanks, brother!
Creepiest clown ever!!
Lee Wallace but also one of the most adorable? Idk it’s weird
mm the ahs clown is scarier imo
Yes.
It's amazing to see this makeup process go and Damien worked really hard to get the makeup just right for David's Character of Art The Clown, and of course the way David Howard Thornton plays Art bring an amazing and terrifying performance! :)

He used to be a mime. 👍🏻
Loved the original and can't wait for the sequel. Been a fan of your work since All Hallow's Eve.

They need to release a new movie with art the clown again, such an amazing actor!
They are.
Fucking awesome! Who knew it took that much time to do the makeup?! Just wow. Love love LOVE you Art 🖤🤍🖤🤍
loooooooveeee loveeeee this! I'm so freaking excited!!!
The world needs more new horror monsters. He looks awesome.
Congratulations, amazing transformation! I love Art and i love this movie ^^
He looks like Marilyn Manson after a 3 day binge on drugs and alcohol. Really cool movie as well!.
I love watching this transformation!
Eli Roth almost created another horror legend but decided to kill him off with the “clown”movie which in my opinion was original and very unique
The it movies were a flop with scenes that had potential, one great performance shrouded by a sea of drastically stretched out ideas
The saviour of horror in this era is art the clown and the terrifyer movies
I’m so bloody proud of all who had a hand in creating these masterpieces
The true fans asked for it without uttering a word
And finally we were given something that wasn’t regurgitated from the bowels of someone else’s work
Terrifyer 2 is art the clown coming of age as what could be his step up onto the throne of horror greats with our 80s classics like Michael myers , Jason vorhees and Freddy kruger
My heart is filled with joy tonight as I write this
🎉
Thanks for giving me hope again
All movies to follow here on have very big blood soaked clown shoes to fill !!🎉

The movie is awesome and Art is one of the best horror clown I’ve seen, thanks for that masterpiece Damien Leone !
DAMIEN LEONE!! You are just awesome! Art is just Stellar!
Amazing...
Can't wait for Terrifier 3
This movie was incredible. Laughed the entire time of watching it.
Probably the scariest clown movie. Loved it.
Hes my favorite horror villian. ❤...the actor plays that part SO well. Not cheesy like most clowns. His personality is awesome
Why is he called a clown when he’s more of a mime you never hear him talk
I didn't know Terrifier movie exist. when the sequel came it started circulating all over the internet and especially on my recommendation and man this both movies are scary af. after watching both movies i now find 'IT' to be nothing. guy playing Art is astounding. you deserve more recognitions.

His acting is excellent.
just impressive, David is truly a total dedication
Damien, you gave me one of my favourite slasher films and I thank you so much! Can't wait for round 2!!!!!
This was round 2. All Hallows Eve is the original.
Not exactly because Terrifier is basicly a movie that took this character from all hallows eve so I am not going to consider
Terrifier 2 a sequel to a sequel but a sequel to Terrifier. 👍👍👍
Damn geniuses all this crew!
I have a lot of watching his movies and I already hope to see them again.
You did a great job man, creepy as hell and hilarious at the same time.

Amazing, brilliant actor. Very talented
Please make sequels, at least we want terrifier own trilogy..please

Such a great makeup for such a great movie
Loved the effects in the movie. Art the clown was played perfectly
This is freaking amazing. I stress the freak part. LOL!!!
love this!!! FX Make up the best thing!!!
I watched the movie awhile back and MAN IT WAS AWESOME. I love this. So cool. Hopefully we get to see Art the Clown in more movies. I'd even take some online shorts.
You are so talented...omg
I love the Terrifier series. It's been so long since there's been a good Horror series. Can't wait for #3!
this is pure art
Can't wait! I loved the first one. Watched with my sister and she couldn't eat for the rest of the day! 😂
This is the only scary movie that’s not supernatural that scares the shit out of me
I love Art the clown
who knew a guy in a flannel could turn out to be the scariest clown ever
Pure comedy! Laughed a lot at this insane buffon!!! Masterful acting.
If not for Phoenix, Ledger and Jester, my favorite clown. The proud of the profession!!!
Downloaded both movies and watched both today. Now, they MUST make the third masterpiece. Pure comedy!
I watched part 2 last night, was so cool
AWESOME! I'm so excited about Terrifier! Dude, you should do a subscription web series (kinda like the Trailer Park Boys did with Swearnet) starring Art the Clown. You would have a shit-ton of subscribers (me included)!
A full 3 hours worth of work done in a single second
You inspire me so much, I like being as involved as possible on my projects too! Huge inspiration. Thanks!
So Awesome!
Eyebrows on fleek
David and Art are 🐐’s
Art,you are art ❤😂😂😌
this is awesome!!
it was amazing terrifier❤
“The Terrifier” is one of my favorite horror movies.
Terrific!!!🎩
@DavidThornton....I feel like I need to wash my eyes out with soap and water having seen this. Great job on your acting, man! Well done!
Masterpiece...
This movie was awesone!
Amazing!!! 🎃💀💄🎥
