The mysterious and horrifying origin story of Art the Clown may have been revealed in Damien Leone’s blood-soaked threequel Terrifier 3, although it was initially dismissed as a joke. The independent low-budget horror movie has carved a path of destruction through Hollywood and beyond, as Terrifier 3‘s astounding box office totals continue to confound industry experts. The eye-opening success of both Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3 is a testament to the one key element of the franchise that has made an indelible mark on pop culture: the demonic killer known as Art the Clown.
