We need to give Art more credit

Is Art the Clown ever going to get his flowers? We don't give him enough credit in the horror community, and he needs to be more acknowledged. Hundreds of slasher characters have done crazy great work throughout film. Still, for me, I feel like Art the Clown is so different from everyone else with the way that he jokingly kills people or taunts people before he kills them and how he feels no pain or emotion. You could hit him with the most enormous truck you have 50 times over, and he will still be on the floor laughing and smiling like nothing has ever happened. It's wild. It's funny, creative, and psychotic, but it makes you love him more. I love the clown's humorous torture style, and it almost reminds me of Ghostface in the Scream franchise because he is also hilarious in his creative way. Those two are so different from the others, and it's genius, and it makes you want so much more.

When I saw Terrifier in 2018, I felt disgusted, confused, and intrigued. The movie was great. It was different. It was scary. Everything was all at once, and I wanted more movies, so when the second one came out, I fell in love with it; I love that they still use the same visual filter in the film. I love that we got new characters in a new, more in-depth background of those characters, and if you think the kills were insane in the first one, the kills are a whole other level. In the second one, I saw there were reports of people passing out, throwing up, and getting carried out on a stretcher. I mean, it was just something I've never seen before. Terrifier 2 is one of the best slashers of this time, making you ready and eager for something next. I'm so glad we're getting a third one that takes place during Christmas. It sounds like it will be diabolical, and I am here for it. I am all here for Art the Clown destroying the world.
