The movies were alright but this is the real reason people love Art the Clown...

The movies were ridiculous, especially the sequels. He’s the only good thing about the movie.

The director of all the movies Damien Leone built him like that so he could experiment with things and find what sticks...I  like to think of Art as a fusion of Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers from a horror film stand point. That being said I agree or at least know what you mean. So much of his stuff has depended on Art and his gore showcasing's. Even Terrifier 3 depended heavily on gore/shock, and awe. I'm still excited for this next Halloween though since it's set to be the last installment and finally explore arts origins..

That was a concept trailer of course, and who knows how Leone will do it. Art does kind of hit me like he's just a more successful alien from the same species as pennywise, but who knows. I like how the actual director blended so many successful horror movie slashers into one and still used a lot of old tropes to build the mystery. That being said all the times art pulled a gun, or that one time he fucking bombed an entire shopping mall by handing out presents dressed as a shopping mall Santa... Dude does have his own steeze.

His use of liquid nitrogen was just beautiful, and would make any scientist blush...

The only reason I have alien origins in mind is because he basically displayed the pennywise' deadlights a few times, and the All Hallows Eve mixtape has that one random short story featuring a weird ass alien monster... Terrifier 3 and everything you see in most of the films leads you to believe he's more so like Freddie Krueger with a demon latching on and kind of coalescing with the original serial killer. That seems like more the direction Art's heading, but fuck if I know lol

I just hope the creator actually goes all out with his origin story, and is able to tie everything together with a neat bow.  I don't care so much how he does it.

I read somewhere that the guy who plays art almost didn’t get the part because of his agent. His agent told him not to audition because it wouldn’t be beneficial and if he got the role it would ruin his career. He auditioned anyway and then when the producer reached out to the agent the agent never told the actor cause he didn’t want him doing the part. The actor only found out because the production staff called him to schedule a costume fitting. Needless to say he fired his agent.

I was actually talking more about the movie’s plot more than anything. In the first Terrifier  Art was just a psycho person. He had no special abilities or anything until the end of the film when he resurrected. My problem is that you wouldn’t know he had any special abilities unless you read what the creator says about him and I really hate that.

That was always intentional until like terrifier 2 after the first scene with the pale girl. it was pretty easy for me to put two and two together after their game of paddy cake she was a demon forming a pact with Art. All that and the true intricacies of their relationship weren't very well established through story in the film though so I know what you mean... Like @Still Me said a lot of what made the creator choose to go the mystery route initially was that Art wasn't even played by a dedicated actor for a lot of the films. It was just one of Leone's friends that would actually tolerate the like 3 hours of vis effect make up it took to create the character.

I think all the films turned out great considering that.

I still think you should know that extended suffering of his victims is an ability of his and not just slasher film humor without having to read about it later. I liked the movies for what they are. Crazy gory fun. I just hate that aspect. 
 

Like in the paranormal activity world what kinda annoyed me is that the writers seemed to make shit up as they went along and didn’t care about consistency 
 

I think Art the Clown originally appeared in an anthology horror flick where someone was watching a vhs tape they found. I forgot the name of that movie.

Yeah it would've been better if they hashed out a lot of those details from the start maybe, but it also made it a more casual watch not having any lore to keep up other than...Arts an evil clown with a literal bag of tricks. Not even really going to say he did all that good tying an actual story into 2 and 3, but I can see a lot of angles for him to tie things together nicely with the supernatural element, and since we have the magic dagger that literally healed the main characters wounds he could even bring in some more sci fi elements.

I haven’t seen the third movie yet. The end of the second one left me thinking maybe I had enough of this for now. Seriously I never laughed so hard at an ending to a horror movie before.

She gave birth to a fuckin head, dude 😆😆😆😆

ALL HALLOW’S EVE!

that’s the movie I was talking about before where Art appeared first. It was like I said an anthology and it incorporated a couple of shorts that Art originally appeared in 

sorry for shouting it’s not often lost info makes its way back into my skull 

I wonder how that hat stays on. Is there an elastic band under his chin or is it nailed into his head?

Yeah it wasn't the actual actor that has Clown and mime experience in those shorts. Just Leone's friend with the suit on lol.

So I was on break at work eariler when I replied to your post, and I forgot to mention.. The third movie is definitely worth the watch if that threw you off. The demon is latched on to that survivor victim and most of it's ambitions are voiced through that faceless survivor who starts working with Art after...giving birth to his head... That shit has me kind of confused even I'm not gonna lie because I think that means there were two heads at one point maybe?...(oh wait the pale girl takes his head at the end of terrifier 2, and I guess is able to fucking teleport it into the womb of survivor girl idfk)

In another goofy twist arts body is roaming around without a head for a while before he links up with faceless survivor lady at the psych ward.. He has a comically hard time trying to put heads on his body before they link up I remember that. Just it having a Christmas theme alone made me think it was going to be too weird for me at first myself, but the Christmas theme is tied in really well by having Art kind of fixate on wanting to play Santa. Looting Santa suits from the bodies of his mall santa victims was like the first thing on his to do list.
