From writer/director Damian Leone, Terrifier (2016) is the cult slasher horror that introduced audiences to one of the most disturbing modern icons in horror cinema — Art the Clown, played with terrifying intensity by David Howard Thornton (Terrifier 2, Gotham). Set on Halloween night, the film follows best friends Tara Heyes (Jenna Kanell – The Bye Bye Man, Renegades) and Dawn (Catherine Corcoran – Return to Nuke ’Em High, Long Lost) as they become the unlucky targets of Art’s sadistic killing spree. Also appearing are Samantha Scaffidi (Demon Hole, Terrifier 2) as Victoria Heyes, Tara’s sister who becomes embroiled in the chaos, and Matt McAllister (Law & Order: SVU) as Mike the Exterminator. Known for its gritty atmosphere, shocking practical gore effects, and infamous scenes — including Art’s sadistic hacksaw sequence, Dawn’s brutal fate, and the final hospital showdown — Terrifier cemented itself as one of the most talked-about slashers of the 2010s, paving the way for its even bloodier sequel. In this reaction & review, Aaron Alexander, Tara Erickson & John Humphrey dive into the shocking violence, practical effects, and terrifying performance that made Terrifier a cult horror phenomenon.

Thank you to Liquid IV for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Gourhounds and murder clowns of the Reject Nation. We are back. It's spooky season, and I am very excited because today we're getting into a little bit of a geek show, a little bit of what I understand it be in effects extravaganza. It's time for terrifier. I didn't even know that was going to happen.

Yeah, it happens. It sounds in stereo. Greg and Roxy covered these movies before, and now it's our turn. We're bringing you all the juiciest, iciest, squishest moments and our reactions to them. Arun, Tarra. How are you guys feeling today? Fight for who gets to express their emotions. Aaron, go ahead.

Okay, I feel good. I feel well. I feel swell. I'm a dog sitting. I'm a dog daddy for the week. And it's feeling good. I feel a cathartic, and now I'm ready to get spooked and have a day full of horrible images in my head. Yeah.

Yeah, Tara, how are you doing? I'm scared. Rossi literally was like, you're going to watch those movies. I'm worried for you. She looked me in the eyes and said, I don't think you should do it. Oh, wow. Oh, my. So we'll see.

We're going to have fun. I can't wait to, I'm just going to watch you this whole video. That's what, like, I'm terrified, a little bit. Ah, hey, Terrified. Speaking of Terrified, don't you, don't you have a special little something or other? I did a T-shirt because Greg insisted that I do it. It's the Terra F-A-F-E-R. Oh, get it.

Yeah, I get it. T-A-R-A-F-I-E-R. Tara is my name, and I look like a scary clown on the shirt. I am. You're Tara and your fire. I am. So just pepper will throw it up. You'll look at it.

You can see the image on screen here. And if you want to coat your body in this, get it. It's going to be available at rejectation shop.com. Greg made me do it. That's where it is. And hey, speaking of rejectnation shop.com, not only do we have a brand new Terra fire t-shirt

that you can put on your body, but also, if you happen to be a royal reject, you can save yourself 15%. You might be saying, John, what is that? How do I become a royal reject? Well, easy, gang. Just come on over to the Patreon page, Patreon.com slash the Rio Rejects.

There, not only can you save a little discount on some T's like these, New Terra Fire shirt, et cetera. But you can also get access to the full-length reaction.

We will be syncing up, well, we'll be watching this

from Amazon Prime Video. But, yeah, grab your own copy. You'll sync up over there. We can't give you the whole movie.

This movie must be unrated. Oh, it has to be. This can not be. Get it, girl. Come on now. Come on now. Your traditional R-rated movie. I can honestly say I've never seen something that horrible in a movie before.

You better punch him. Yeah, I've seen that idea, but never executed. There we go. there we go good job come on grab a weapon thank god we go there we go don't stop thank god do not once she's gonna stop yeah that's one really great practical practical effects that i don't want to my brain that witch's nose i was just thinking the same thing yeah it's gnarly reject nation as many of you guys know i have been getting very very serious about my health lately started off this year over

22 percent body fat by beginning of september i got down to under 10 percent now i've been focused on bulking but a massive massive part of that any fitness trainer talked to has really emphasized this is hydration and my go-to hydration product is a liquid i v i've been using them before we ever partnered with them which has made me very happy because it's a seamless partnership because when i say i use them daily i mean i use them daily sometimes twice a day after workouts every single time sometimes a four long days of filming halfway through a long day generally every post live stream i end up offering one to john and coy as well sincerely helps me feel more focused This helps me feel more present and a lot more energized.

It's a staple in our office. It's in every single room here. And if you've never tried them, liquid IV is an electrolyte drink mix that hydrates you two times faster than water alone. You take one of these sticks poured into 16 ounces of water. You stir and boom, you've got hydration. That works harder. It has three times the electrolytes of leading sports drinks plus five essential vitamins and minerals. B3, B5, B6, B12.

You all know B12. You hear people talk about B12 all the time. And of course, vitamin C. They're made with premium ingredients, non-GMO, and free from gluten, dairy, and soy. So you're safe. And recently, they have launched a new Liquid IV energy multiplier sugar-free, which fuels steady energy. Perfect if you want to clean boost without a crash. I selfishly have kept those at my home, while the other ones that we have bought remain here.

And I specifically did say the word bought, because, yes, they do not send this to us for free every month. We buy them. For all the reasons I have said why, so you can buy them at bulk at a store, or probably the best way you can do it in because it up support the channel too you can get 20% off when you go to liquid iv.com and use code real rejects at checkout liquid iv.com real rejects at checkout 20% off thank you liquid iv for being a big part of my new lifestyle get him oh okay nice take the knife take the knife come on okay don't stop don't stop don't

stop get it get it oh come on now in the nuts get him in the back of the head knock around knock him out get why are we not running now is not the time for honor thank you what no just keep going just keep hitting him don't add don't what are you what are you trying to egg on a fight what is this come on yeah the the rules of engagement are different here oh god okay girl you can kill him on the floor your honor will be too girl i'm going to tell you that right now i would have killed her she just wants it to be a fair fight i mean respect but like you're well beyond the point where you need to think about that

anyone i think would understand oh wow surprise god got a gun that's awful that's really funny actually that's really funny like you just got a gun one of the motor is Indiana Jones that is the most hilarious gun draw just in context you get it from his shoe he's just a pragmatist he's just like hey if somebody's got it you know I I need a backup oh my god dude how your plan went all wrong no i don't want her to die yeah yeah here a two by four trying away from the be up so you can hit him down again that was terrible all right you did good kid wow what a gangster shot yeah great p ovi with the camera great lighting wow

I guess the new neighbors weren't such a good idea after all. Do you know, you must know about this. You got to. Is Art your baby? Do you have another baby in there? You got that bleach back there. I got that cart back there. The shot on the face?

Still kicking it. Okay. Oh, you got a boat start. Where's your cool, like, clip vest thing? I guess if you didn't, yeah, I guess you didn't shoot her in the brain. she would still be alive or potentially could be shot in the cheek is bonks he is unfazed by these stabs he's so annoyed that he doesn't have any more bullets

it's hard to find a good clip these days he's that banana clip extra long one I'm starting to see it now. What are you going to say? It's like the structure and the setting. I bet was probably due to budget. We got one location, we got to make the most of it, couple locations. But yeah, so instead of doing a traditional slasher where you're cutting around a bunch of places,

we're making the most of this. Yeah. At least we're all in agreeance that the building is creepy. Yes. Yes. is there like a great oh oh it's a clue oh damn wow wow wow wow okay right away we got to it oh jeez you think you got her oh my god you need gta man

Like his body language, his face, and the fact that the black eyes and the black mouth hides so much in the exposure. But we can still see so much. Yeah.

He's got like overplayed up a bit. And then, too, the way they light it so that you just get barely the reflection of his teeth and his eyes. This makes it that much creepier. Can you help me please? Who are you? How did you get in here? There's a dead woman in your basement. What?

He's killing them one by one by one like cows. Look. Whoa. You call the police right away if you don't get someone down here. You're right. That's what you're talking. The clown with the right face

Really? Scorsese, the cat was in this.

Wow. Yeah, I mean, this franchise is, I don't know much about the specifics, but this franchise has definitely grown since this movie, and we're about to unpack this movie. Before we do that. Oh, he also edited, did the sound design and the special effects. Yeah. This is how you make your own films and do it the F right. I don't know who gave him money or where he got the funding to make such amazing practical effects, but hell yeah.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. goodness and a lot of falconies doing a lot of important work on this it looks like too and it was kick started damn okay not bad well gang if you made it to this point in the video if this video is in fact live on youtube first thing you got to do is say a big old thank you to the team over for chopping these highlights together we don't enjoy censoring things it's literally the only way that some of this stuff can get performed by thanks I like that. It's literally the only way

a lot of this stuff can get on to YouTube. So, yeah, whatever you see here, that's what it took. And thank you to Prepper for making that happen. Also, if you could leave a like

at the same time when you subscribe. Ring the bell. Bring the bell. There we go. All right. And if you happen to be listening,

to this in podcast form please leave us rating if you could gang how we feel in before we hop into our patron questions this is a memory of west craven george romero and toby hooper three icons of spooky cinema wow what's the mood gang um this was definitely something that lived up to the reputation that this franchise has granted this is only the first movie but still very very gory and probably even more so than i was expecting especially with that one very brutal kill with the girl hanging upside down and just from the from the vagina to the face from crack to crown the fierce credit card i tell you what but uh yeah it was very well made uh i found it more disturbing and gory than nerve-inducing. I feel like I was definitely more anxious during something like

weapons, but I feel like for what this movie was going for, they did in a really amazing job. I had no idea where was ever going. Art the Clown is a true icon of horror, both very funny and very disturbing, and somehow finds a way to balance both of those things and sometimes it's doing both at the same time which shouldn't work but somehow finds a way to do it the guy who plays art the clown is doing an amazing job and yeah i'm looking forward to seeing more in the future what was you terah um i sorry i got distracted by some of the questions um i really like this movie but i will say that i was on the edge of my seat i did have anxiety i don't like all of the the diarrhea thing I can't.

Nope. That was nasty as well. Absolutely not. Get out. The blood I'm okay with. Mainly what stood out to me was practical freaking effects. Yes.

And the visual effects, amazing. Like, because that can pull me out of a horror movie and that made up for some of the lack of intelligence in some of the characters. But towards, like the end, they each found a weapon, which I'm grateful of like they did follow the rules there nobody was like really dumb thank

goodness because that would have pissed me off um but the the effects were just amazing that it was like hard to look away because it just it looked really good and there was multiple like normally you see that in a movie that uses practical effects and then they'll switch to visual like because they run out all of this was very practical and there was a lot a lot of bodies It's a lot of practical, just like a lot of stuff, and good job. I appreciate that a ton. Assignment completed and understood. Yeah, this definitely lived up to the hype of just being a gooey, icky, gleefully mean kind of movie.

You know, I, like, I, as a viewer, have certainly seen a handful of, you know, gore fests in my day. and uh this was this was fun i mean like this had i believe this was a pretty shoe string budget movie i i think this was you know sort of a passion project for damien leone leone um and yeah like i said one of those opportunities for somebody in effects to you know create their own thing supply the all the effects so that probably that really must have helped with the budget because i'm sure at that point you can just kind of comp your own work um and yeah Yeah, I mean, I thought it's spotlet all that stuff really nicely. And I guess because of the, this was one of those movies that seemed to know how to work with its low budget in a way that didn't feel like it was constrained by its low budget.

And I think that's just a nice thing for the movie because, yeah, this was a more effective slasher movie than I was anticipating at the outset. And like, I thought this would have like much stiffer acting and much more, I don't know, flimsy character. not to say this is a masterpiece this definitely is a tropey slasher movie for sure and that's fine that's the tradition that it wants to exist in and uh yeah like for as many moments where you're like stab him again or grab a weapon there were a fair amount of other moments at least seemed like they were thought out and it didn't again rely on implausibly dumb characters to get its point across and uh yeah david robert thornton or howard thornton well all of his names thornton uh It was just really gripping to watch and had a lot of presents on screen. And, you know, I enjoyed the... The girl who's Tara, I liked the most. I like the woman in the catacombs, the baby lady.

I thought she had some presents. I like the Mike guy. So, yeah. Yeah, yeah. There's some interesting stuff about this. There's more, yeah, to appreciate than I may be expected, but it is like a geek show, and that's the point.

So it succeeds at being that. And I'm excited to see how something like this can... It's become a phenomenal. since this, and I know there's like a short that leads into this movie or that, you know, is kind of adapted into this movie. But I am fascinated now to see what they will do given that I just I know that jumping into part two will probably have a way bigger budget and way more resources and way more room to move and breathe and probably for the people behind this to do really the things they want to reach for and jump to. So I'm excited for that and I think we should jump into some questions. from the patrons but I had a blast watching this with you guys had a very fun time squirming and and you know geeking at the geek show yeah I was gonna say I was like these guys are having fun and singing and dancing and meanwhile like my but hole was clenched the entire time like I was like I can't talk and sing and be like make jokes I was like it's good though we got a variety of flavor like I thought this was a funny movie like this was this was like really on the line of horror and and comedy for me, but it is a kind of comedy

that does rely on being outlandishly disgusting. So I get why that wouldn't be your Kappa and how that would not equate to humor for you or for any kind of viewer. Yeah, I think that the gun bit got both of us. The gun was really funny. It's really funny. Like just, yeah, after everything,

it's so matter of fact, and it's also so pragmatic. You're like, I see you are, you've, you've had this go wrong, before now you know that to keep the fun flowing you need a you know the little firepower yeah and too I mean to to be fair that kill like when he reloaded it is like kind of savage the use of the the gun goes from being funny and kind of matter of fact to be a straight up killer yeah icky thing that that then he's like she's well taken care of by that point. He's just still

like unloading and you're like ooh. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. A lot of the things I wasn't expecting here. But let's jump into some questions. I'm sure we'll touch on anything else we have on our minds in that process. Corey H. I'm excited to see

Terrifier on this list. Question. Here we go. What makes Art the Clowns stand out from the classic slasher icons like Freddie, Michael, Jason, Chuckie, jigsaw, et cetera i added one i have not seen these other franchises um maybe like through cultural osmosis me have i seen chucky no i've seen like clips of chucky yeah i would know i would love to

watch the chucky's and they'll be a lot of fun they're good um but i think that's something that makes art the clown unique is he is both equally sadistic as he is having fun and i and you guys correct me for wrong but i don't know if the other ones are doing this because it's fun for them i think they're maybe doing it because i don't know they're just sick but chucky can have that definitely chucky chucky speaks and and has like a whole personality so chucky depending on the movie can certainly be a humorous character and a talkative character and then of course the later you get into freddie movies the more like cracking jokes and calling people bitch you know takes place so yeah there's jason is like you're just lumbering stalking

never speaks killing machines sometimes you runs but like you know he's he's mostly just a big lumbering force michael similar deal just more like rage fueled uh i would say then something like a jason not that jason can't get mad so he's like that happy medium between the the quiet killers and the more fun killers for like a better term Yeah, yeah. I think it is like a really nice middle ground because he does have such presence and his little mannerisms and his expressions. And because he never speaks, but you can tell that there's a ton going on in there, like it does create this both whimsical and disconcerting vibe around him. And it makes him, yeah, an effectively volatile force because you don't know if he's going to make you laugh or do something really horrific. you know and i think that's i can see why he's become such an icon because the look is really

distinct uh people already you know scary clown is just a well-worn trope and a thing people you know love and gravitate too so i feel like yeah the the stark look of the monochrome makeup you know then with blood on it is so you know striking to look at and then yeah his personality just jumps off the screen so I could absolutely see as more movies get made how he has arisen to this icon status and I feel like he's in the pantheon now you know yeah I would say um what makes him stand out is that he doesn't have a mask on a lot of them are like they're masked up and you're seeing like a real person there's a lot of times in those films that we don't actually get to see like Michael's eyes but then when you do you're so freaking freaked out um kind of the same

with maybe Freddie a little bit and like Jason, Chuckie is like he's just there. But I think with this, you're actually, you're like looking at a human with just this weird ass makeup on and his smile, the problem with like, there's not a problem with the mask, but the masks make it so that when you see like Michael walking down a hallway or something,

you're just like, you don't even know. It just looks scary with just his big brooding body. This is scary on another, like, because he's just oddly smiling at you and his eye and it's just there's blood in his mouth at all times I don't know why well I do know why now but um I think that's what makes him stand out to me because I am actually seeing the full on villain like right it's right there it's not hiding behind a mask and it's not a doll would you say the arts the most sadistic out of all of them yes I was say sometimes Chuckie can be a real asshole there was some movies where I was like

Chuckie what are you doing um Michael is mostly like he's after his sister he's a weird like he's got problems um Freddie and Jason are kind of on maybe more to me on the upper sadistic level Freddie is sadistic because he's like Chuckie has you know a person a human personality. So there are things, especially as the franchise gets deeper and deeper and gets more into camp. And as much, like, the further the LGBT aspect of Chuckie starts to play in, the more you realize like, oh, Chuckie has his own kind of view of the world and morality. And he can be maniacal, but he's not like, it's weird. He can be amoral, but there are certain things where you're like, I kind of agree with Chuckie on this. Here and there, little things. Whereas, you're not. like a freddie artist probably closest to freddie out of all of these because freddie yeah is just here to laugh and torture you you know with whatever your worst nightmares are so uh yeah i would say that that that's probably the closest touchstone in terms of just like mean and nasty okay and gleefully so that with that demented sense of humor um but yeah i think that is a

part of it he brings the the silence that a lot of these classic villains do but also a certain kind of gleefully whimsical animation of just body language and presence that is unique and that, you know, harkens toward a Chuck Eur or Freddie, but in its own way, because those guys talk. So, yeah, I think, you know, the further they get, the more I'm, yeah, here for art's inclusion on the ever-growing Mount Rushmore of great slasher villains and memorable kills. you know that's part of what it takes too is memorable creative kills so what do you guys think though tell us your thoughts on the pantheon jaden roads my main issue with the movie all right we're getting to some criticisms here thank you jaden for chiming in is that it doesn't feel like a real movie feels like a selection of bits strung together on a very thin string sequels i feel like they actually get better at telling their story i have heard this i'm curious if you all had that problem while watching it No, it felt like a movie to me. I think it was just a very contained small indie movie, but, you know, it did feel like we were watching this horrible night through the perspective of art and it's just maybe the first time he died, so to speak, you know, because obviously all the other characters are, are canon fodder for his, like, sadistic whims, but he is the constant throughout the story. it's not necessarily an arc per se but i feel like it is one story that we are watching but granted i don't have the experience of knowing what the other stories entail and i hear like it gets

more um intensive and like it develops a stronger narrative as the things go along but yeah this this worked for me as a movie i i think that like what you're talking about with selection of bits they started like girls car girls go in building kill kill kill all all the story happens in one location, so it makes it believable. I've seen movies where there are selection of bits where it's like kind of all over the place. And you're like, oh, that scene didn't work out,

so you had to reshoot it and you move it here and you're like, oh my God, none of this works. This, however, I do think works. I understand like kind of where you're going with it, Jaden, but I actually wasn't bothered by it. And again, I really did like the practical effects and I understood why it would just be in one, location without like a ton of story it's really just like oh it's a crazy clown and the girls go in

their sister has to pick her up there's a guy bombing the place like it all made sense to me yeah no i would agree i think this like i said in the reaction i think part of i think your your point is is both of you have raised good points i think this surprised me in feeling more like an actual movie than i expected i i saw this like a tight eighty five minute movie and it's like someone's first slasher movie and i definitely expected this to be more all over the place and more sort of reliant again on dumb like really dumb character choices or really leaning into and kind of uh taking a pass because of the tradition of that and i don't think they did lean into that as much i i can see what you mean in that like i it's weird i appreciated the structure of this because it

It feels like the night just kind of begins, and they stumble upon art and things kind of unfolded in a way that felt relatively well-paced, or just like I wasn't really concerned with this moving too fast or too slow or not feeling plausible or whatever. And I kind of appreciated that the structure was like, you're following essentially this Tara character up until like three-quarters of the way in when she's finally dead. And then it does become a little less focused, but you've already established everybody you have, so it makes sense that, okay, we're. passing this along to the sister and you know whoever remains in the building to try and wrap this thing up and then because you have those bookends i think i think they did a lot of work to tie together what was probably very limited resources and so yeah i left on the other side actually feeling like this was more of a real movie than i was expecting it to be yeah and also you you can say that this is retroactively at least what we discover in the end the origin of how the sister became mutilated so in a way it's her story but we're taking around by way of getting there that's what I'm saying is yeah like once she takes over that strengthens the thing because you know once she's the person we're following not a lot of like actual development or characterization happens but we have the bookends to tie that together so yeah I think I'm excited to see them get better but I do think that this as far as low budget movies go stood out a bit from a lot of similar types of things that are probably made under very similar circumstances. And I feel like, yeah, once I started to realize, like, oh shit, they're making the most out of this one location,

because once you cut to the coroner's office and it's clearly, like, someone's laundry room, you're like, oh, that's right. You know, like, we probably couldn't, it would probably suffer greatly if we tried to cut around to a bunch of shit. So, so yeah. But I'm curious to hear what y'all think.

I know this is the most contentious installment, and it's obviously the first one, so things aren't fully formed. So leave us your thoughts. Resonance Z. Z. Glad to see you guys are watching the Terrifier movies after Greg and Roxy. While not my favorite terrifier movie by any means, it still has a lot that I do love. Question, if you had to pick your, quote, favorite thing about the movie, what would it be?

I would have to pick the practical effects while I do love art. Art without the practical effect, kills would make him a sad clown, and I know that would make Terra a sad clown. Agreed. You and me are friends. That's all I got to say. We're on the same page. yeah i'd say his performance in the movie because he finds this fine line between being an actual clown while also being scary it's scariness comes from the the not lack of awareness but how not serious he's taking the horrible things he's doing and sometimes like for example like after he shot the girl in the face the the mom comes he just like smiles and waves at her as if he didn't just like do something horrible

well she says that thing about like he's laughing he thinks it's funny like you know it's he's funny because he's laughing you know and he's being playful at the the coffee not coffee shop the pizza parlor the poo-poo parlor yes it is so yeah I would say none of the other slasher villains you know make duky art no he's sadistic and every that was probably the biggest surprised the movie he wrote his name and do-do I can't you very much that is that is art though you can't argue that's not art nope but yeah also the gun kill was unexpected that was my favorite thing because that was hilarious um yeah that's that's my thoughts for now yeah I would say that the practical yeah the kills and the effects are like the star um and yeah art is really fun to

I think my favorite, this is kind of abstract, but I think my favorite thing about this was just kind of the fun of watching something like this that has a lot of hype and then kind of seeing the problem solving that's happening on screen and the sort of low budget ingenuity that this is able to employ at times. Like, I don't know. That was the most surprising thing because to the question above, you know, there is a thin string that is tying a lot of this together. And it didn't feel as thin as it could have or should have. so yeah this this grabbed me and kept on moving and didn't really give me a chance to fall out and I appreciate that

but yeah I mean art the effects it's hard to top that stuff and I just I appreciate that there was some some decent acting here

here too TJ Terrifier Johnson hey rejects crew Terrifier the franchise has become more and more popular with each movie

the third going out unrated, making $90 million on a $2 million budget. What do you all see in the first movie that sparked the future success, or do you see it? Thanks. I mean, yeah, I think it's just that. I think it's the strength of the fact that this is made by an effects guy, so the effects stuff is given the best opportunity to sing in this context,

and I know that that's the stuff that is going to entice people to spend more money on a sequel, and you know it's a geek show and art is such a striking character to look at yeah I see it like I because this isn't as as generic as it could be and because it's execution isn't as run of the mill for what this is as it could be you combine that with the effects and the strength of the motif of art and I think that's the soup yeah I think what sparked the future success is that he not only wrote it, directed it, but he also edited it. He did the special effects and he did the practical effects. So when you have someone who has hands there, they make all of the decisions because they're in all the most important places. So when you go to deliver the product, there's no like upstairs people being like, we should add in a child. And you're like, you're like, what the, and then you have to go through eight different and then it's terrible so i i think that that is why and i do hope that in the future movies although i know some people are saying you know this one didn't have much of a story

i'm sure with that budget that he he probably got more time and maybe co-wrote with uh another writer and if it's if it gets more story still align with him having control of like the budget then you're still going to have a three million dollar movie making a hundred and twenty million dollars even though this was two million ninety million you're going to that's a third movie this was made for like this was made in the thousands of dollars I think yeah in term this had to have been way less than a million I want to say this is like 50 or 100,000 dollars love it oh wow or less I'm not even sure we should before we get out of here look up what the budget was because I think that's

another thing when people see a movie and they're like you did this what budget take more you know i guess is definitely yeah part of it yeah the fact that the the third one is in the one after the thing that started the larger success because i think i didn't really start hearing people talk about terrifier to the second one because i was when the second one came out it was my first time seeing like oh this the sequel to a movie i never heard of is playing in theaters at all the theaters that i'm uh go to oh my god what you what oh you can tell us the budget don't tell us yet i want to get it i want to guess i want to guess obviously i'm going to make you guess 200 okay is that your final answer

no i'm going to say this was made for 10 000 i'm going to say 90 000 55 55 k shit man that all of that money in anybody else's world yeah would go simply to the amount of blood makeup special effects period 55,000 dollars buy and we're talking like probably actors are still paid you had to rent that location right there also have the the outer warehouse with all of those cars there's still a street location I'm sure I don't know if it was sag or non but or non union but whatever that's insane to me yeah like I get it like I've made you know indie films and stuff and I've been on them where I'm like yeah I'll take the low pay because this is a good script but i'm like 55 for what's in this for the practical effects alone that would

cost you if 55 alone that's insane yeah i think pumping them out if they keep making that's wild and it gross guess how much it grossed the first one a millie no but that's your guess and what's john 10 million uh no 330 000 oh wow from that to 9 million because this wouldn't have been even in this would have gone to like streaming and video and stuff like that i would have to imagine maybe a small release at a couple theaters right so you wouldn't get that you wouldn't be in the millions but yeah you would be but you would go oh we've done better than any big any big any big director most of them don't even double or triple yeah the ratio is crazy yeah it's so dumb 55 k to three what 300 000

330 oh yeah oh yeah insane oh but To answer the question real quick, I think the creative use of the effects plus art being just such a powerhouse, or not in powerhouse, but just a visually interesting antagonist on screen, I think those coupled to make a really fun character and movie. And I think that people like that and word of mouth spread. And now we are here at a third movie that made $90 million on a $2 million budget. That's right. That's right, baby. And I'm not going to get into it now. There's some stuff about that, too.

That movie is going to keep making money. Leon 03. What are your opinions on David Howard Thornton as art? Is there any possibility y'all might react to All Hallows Eve? I'm not sure about that. I think we would all be game to do it. And I don't know if Greg and Roxy did on their end, but it's certainly possible.

Don't know when or if it would happen. but yeah opinions on David Howard and Thornton we've touched on this some of the way he was awesome he was awesome he's absolutely great performance

and too it's smart to have a movie with a villain like that you can kind of get engrossed by and project onto and wonder about and yeah this certainly wouldn't have worked

I don't think if he wasn't as engaged and as game as he was and yeah he's so much presence let's see Captain Fernandez we've already touched on this but I do want to get you in there

terrifier i know you have seen the first movie but based on what you have seen do you think art the clown deserves a spot in the pantheon of horror icons is he's definitely yeah from this and what little i know about what's to come and the cultural response to that like yeah he's he's well at home there for sure um oh we got some fun ones we might do a little bit of a speed round on some of these but appreciate seriously all the enthusiasm because y'all showed up for this one Corey H. And to segue off the last question, can we agree that the actor playing art,

David Howard Thornton, has the best facial expressions and was perfect for this role. We can. Yes, we can, Corey. Absolutely. Holy crap. And I know those weren't probably

his actual teeth. Let's look at a picture real quick. What does this guy really look like? David Howard Thornton. Look at this guy. He just looks like a guy. He can play Joker. That's what we got to do.

We got to get him out here look at how happy this man looks look at him hey he's a dashing loud yeah i would never know that was him under there yeah they really build up his chin and his cheek bones oh go that picture right there on the bottom we're showing them put the makeup on oh there dang oh wow yeah so they're not his real teeth they're acrylics yeah i was gonna say they they got to be but i mean it's the whole thing yeah you know a whole thing oh they're acrylic teeth yeah yeah you put on like yeah when you're like i've been fitted for effects teeth in the past but yeah we can we can definitely agree on that and you like you said there probably got to be million art gifts out there at

this point absolutely gabriel on a scale from one to 10 how much do you regret saying yes to reacting to this franchise and why is it 11 also quickly look for the budget it gives new appreciation for what this movie achieves you see us gabriel you know agreed yeah And it's all the more impressive because it is an effects driven movie and not like, you know, paranormal activity costs like 10,000 bucks or whatever. And, and there's a different thing that's impressive about that. Whereas like, this is like, damn, you really had to put it all on screen and make it look like you had more than you did. Yeah.

And I think that is a strength in and of itself. But yes, I don't regret this actually at all. I just regret the 10. One, I was looking forward to this. I don't regret the diarrhea scene. that's that i i don't want to go back but the rest of it's really good yeah uh but no i would also say a one i've been wanting to watch these movies for a long time so i'm happy we're finally able to do it i thought uh our the chance to do it was gone once i saw that roxy and

greg did it uh all those moons ago but i'm happy that we're coming back round and now it's our term baby different time yes i'm excited to uh watch the other ones yeah i love a geek show i love squirmie i was the guy who happily watched all the human centipedes we're good eric horstman my friend we still got to come visit you seem like you would be a terrifier fan eric i fact i want to see you dressed as art the clown but with no clown costume all right here we go welcome in fact i want to see you dress as art when he's wearing that lady that's what i want to see you as this halloween welcome to the world of terrifier john aaron and terra fire please buckle in and enjoy the rider we are

sick bags are provided I'm so excited can't wait to see your reactions getting my art the clown tattoo soon and I hope it's right underneath your real rejects tattoo just like creeping up on us so what terrifies you

walking into a bathroom having it look like what it did ooh I got a few things one opening a toilet and they're hitting a head in there that's one or like a big snake or a big snake Or a big snake, yeah.

A snake of the butthole. Being at the beach and talking and a bird pooping at my mouth, that's another one. Dropping my phone down the elevator shaft and dropping my phone down the sewer grade. Okay. Those are the things that scare me. Reaching. I have irrational fears. They're real.

Anytime I got to put my hand in the sink drain. Not about it. That's one. Not about it. Even in sinks with no garbage disposal. It's not going to take that risk. um i am afraid i'm terrified of dying unfulfilled um i'm not as scared of bees as i used to be um nicholas cage oh the bees you gotta see that movie i would love to watch the wicker man i've

never seen i i've only seen the 70s one and the meme um but yes i'm sure other things terrifies me you know i'm an anxious cat but uh leave us your terrors in the comments below gang dk lounge do you see yourself at least trying to survive art the clown when let's be honest he is going to kill you yes because one i'm not going to stab him one time two if i have a two by four i'm not going to just hit him until and say get up i'm going to keep hitting him until i know he's gone and then i'm going to leave yeah i'm going to try yeah i mean i would want to at least fight him if he kills me i want to go down fighting and then i want the kill to be you know really memorable i suppose i would knock him out strip him of all his weapons and then if he somehow

wakes up i feel i got overpower him bigger gun there you go in fact i hope terrifier four is literally one of those movies where it's like we got to send in the military they try everything there's the art the clown versus a tank or something um are the clown versus dexter but yeah i wouldn't just sit there and wait to die i would at least try you know yeah of course Tara Trier. Tera Trier, Jagger moves like. Question for John Aaron and Tara, what was the most brutal kill and why was it the saw?

Well, let's unpack that. Because it started at her vagina and went all the way down her body and almost fully in half, but then just stopped halfway through her face. He just stopped at her crown. That's so wacky. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

because it was the they shot it pretty well and again props to the actor for being willing to hang upside down to lend credence to that and yeah oh just real real icky quality effects and yeah that was absolutely the most brutal I think second place would go to the guy getting stabbed in the face he's like playing with the tongue that and the jack-o-lantern pizza guy had with the flames in it was pretty icky oh do you forget about that terrible yeah head's jack-lantern was pretty gnarles berkeley um and i think wearing the ladies skin and hair was pretty pretty yeah that was crazy that was pretty ick um but yeah nothing like that the second that must happen to like right at the middle point of the movie or close to it because yeah that is like the centerpiece that bisect kill Ah, R.C. for Flores. Gotta control my roles for Terrifier.

Tara, are you okay? No. Because it doesn't get better. Well. The question is, I think, is there going to be more poop stuff? Yeah. I think Tara will get better if there's no poop. I agree. I don't want the poop. I really don't want the poop.

Does vomit get you too? Yeah. I don't want that either. You know, there's a whole movie called. There's a whole movie called Mons Turd about a poop monster. Nope, I won't do it. No? No.

I mean, let's watch it. Nope. It's been. No poop. That was a movie I would find at like old, you know, like Dave's laser place or an amoeba. There would just be a copy of like Mon's turd. It's like a straight to DVD movie. But yes, Tara.

Thanks for checking in on me. R.C., I love you. And I'm not okay. Jay Rushden was the killing, uh, was. killing the cat lady a bit much and would Tara be allowed to watch this movie oh you she's when my cats be allowed they would not they're forcing me to watch this what he said would Tara's cats my bad my bad no they're not they're not allowed they would be too scared I play them videos of birds tweeting and the sun and grass because they're my

precious little babies and they're not watching this I was going to say this shit but it's not shit it's a very good film but no well there you have it caleb the king all hail it's ironic to me that i will rewatch the tariffire movies and others similar but have more tame ones quote unquote that i won't ever rewatch l o hey you know context uh what's a horror movie that you remember watching that you would never ever watch again even if it was on the movie watch menu or you were offered a bazillion dollars to review it i think which is the i think it's Halloween four or five which is the one where it's like silver shamrock oh season of the witch just Halloween three yeah watch go through the Halloween reactions with me and

roxy and me and her were both like never again really you didn't like it no thanks and i can't i don't know if it we sang along to silver shamrock but then there was another one that was real bad because it was grosser because there was no michael or you just was it traumatizing it was a terrible movie John just trying to get to the bottom of this it has been culturally reappraised people do like it a lot more they used to so I and I just I don't think we liked and then the the beaming isn't there laser beams at the end and it's your life what's what's going on here it's a bit of a kooky movie that was that was Wackadoo Wild and I don't even know if I'm

talking about three but there was another one that we also said no not again but also no I'm not gonna watch this again no Absolutely not. Ooh. Nope. I'm tossed between Hereditary and The Strangers. Oh, fun. Okay.

The strange, I would never want to experience the strangers for the first time again, but I would want to watch somebody watch the strangers because that movie made me poop my pants dang near. And Hereditary was just very terrifying. That spooky, dokey. Yeah. There's a specific image of like an old. man who's like standing in the corner he's just smiling oh yeah just stays on my head forever burning my brain oh the car oh with the girl that is seared into my brain that was i like that

movie but this stuff are going to be seared in my brain too so you know god i need to be paid double this is a hard question there's not a lot i would never ever watch again or or refuse to a part of because again i have a pretty high tolerance for like geek shows and ugly things and things that are violent and gory and off the you know reasonably acceptable path so really i love like a snuff movie but ever not rewatch horror movies is what he's trying to say i mean i would watch human centipede too again for some reason not i wouldn't just throw it on because i am hankering for comfort food but you know like i i i can appreciate stuff like this so i think like it's more a movie like zero dark 30 like that movie messed me up for days because it just felt so

down to earth in a really chilling disconcerting way and it was all about real stuff and about terrorism and torture and that was an example of a movie where I was like we had to kind of like wait to do the review back when we saw it because I was like yeah I just feel so I just felt so empty and yeah unsettled inside so it's more stuff like that it's more like real tangible things and yet I would rewatch that movie

I've never seen it. It's really good it's really well done so it's great I also understand what he's saying but there's a difference here you see yeah it's stuff like that or it's like really emotionally rending things that I would have a harder time going back to yeah I get that than a horror

movie of any stripe so I guess yeah for right now it's more something like a zero dark 30 or even like i don't know like henry portrait of a serial killer i would watch that again but i remember that movie like that's the stuff that actually like scares and unsettles me in cinema or whatever is when it's stuff that could really happen when it's human cruelty um and uh and yeah that got pretty close to the line as far as horrors go i have one and there was one i started i don't even think i finished it it was the house that jack built i have heard that a lot of those Lars von truer movies are very um disturbing antichrist is another

i'm nervous to watch yeah but yeah house jackville's supposed to be grisly and sick yeah it's moved about a serial killer and i can't remember the lead actor's name but he's like a known actor matt dillon matt dillon yeah that's like a freaking x-rated horrible horrible film so leave leave yours yeah in the comments down below what are you refusing to watch again uh you know let's see Leon O3, yes, there we go. For a minute, I really thought Neve Campbell was in this movie is the black hair girl who gets shot. Am I the only one who sees the physical resemblance

to her character in Scream, 1996? No, I can see it. I can see it. Yeah, and I'm sure I don't think that's like a thing they were like, it's gotta be that, but I'm sure they were happy to have that association in the back of people's minds, especially given the genre.

So, heck yeah. Kev B. What was your reaction to Art the Clown? as a villain did you find him scary creepy or more over the top and ridiculous what moments stood out to you the most i think it's kind of like all of them because he was really scary in the beginning he stares at you and then he's like with his like weird teeth creepy as hell and then the overtop ridiculous like when he's riding on his little bike and then he does like the bike the horn interface where he's like me me me me me you're like oh my god it's kind of hard not to just sort of

of smile and be like this is so weird that this is happening like but it makes sense because he's cuckoo bananas so i think it's it's all of it's all which makes the whole movie for me stand out but mostly you'll know my answer practical effects i forgot about the the freaking bike when he like crash he falls over like i can't so funny oh that was intentional or if they're just like we're leaving it in i think they just left it in honestly or maybe yeah he chose it but you Yeah, this is really funny. Yeah, I would agree with everything you said. I think it's the combination because it does make you kind of wonder what his deal is and what's going on in there and where he came from and how he persists.

I think, yeah, that, I mean, the moment where he's in the tunnel with the woman and she's like kind of doing the Jason-esque, like, I'm going to kind of be motherly to you because maybe you're missing that. That was a striking moment. That at least made me wonder about who's in there. the gun the gun yeah he starts sucking the gun was was a very striking moment just because i'd never it's the kind of movie where like i just never expect to see a slasher villain packing a gun couple guns he's so real he got a couple on hand this is so funny so yeah it's caught me off guard um and then obviously the bisect kill yeah i was i agree with all your points i'd echo them groovy we got a little trivia to close us out dk lounge the reason the reason

why this first installment doesn't really have a plot is mainly because the writer-director Damien Leone was busy working multiple part-time jobs in order to finance the movie while also personally doing the practical effects himself. The first movie is more like a grind house film where it favors the exploitative nature and practical effects over story and all of the other terrifier movies so far have been released at theaters unrated. Damien is also not really a fan of demystifying the villain like Halloween did with Michael Myers and prefers the David Lynch approach where he gives as little lore as possible while most of the being ambiguous.

It's a solid choice. Honestly. I appreciate all this. And props on all that extra labor because clearly it paid off. And I wonder what the shooting schedule was in light of that, whether he worked to save the budget he knew he needed or if this

was being shot alongside all of this backbreaking. Yeah, seriously. A lot of shooting from like 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. and it's terrible. Yeah, absolutely. But I appreciate, yeah, the the need to, the inclination to keep him mysterious. Ah, Kev B.

Art, the clown, was deliberately created to be the opposite of Penny Wise from Stephen King's It. He doesn't speak. Where's a simple black and white clown costume without hair and uses a wide variety of weapons to make him unpredictable. The actor, David Howard Thornton, describes art as, quote,

an evil Mr. Beam. Combining creepy silence with dark, physical comedy. That's great. That's beautiful. I think that's an excellent and clever thing. to do in this context I agree 100% lay on oh three closing us out this first movie has a very

simplistic plot even less than the usual slasher but its sequels do introduce lower that expands the scope a bit I think for a very indie low-budget film the team did pretty good job regardless in the Gore department the art the clown has a though art the clown has appeared in short films since 2008 his first feature length debut was in All Hallows eve an anthology flick from 2013 by the same actor but a different by the same director but a different actor for art oh interesting yeah me too yeah and see how much is carried over from that one much has changed um but yeah and again like as much as yes this doesn't have like a remarkable plot or a very you know deep plot uh i do think that for flimsy this could have been

flimsier honestly because everyone has highlighted what a shoe string the plot exists on but I feel like it could have been stringier, honestly. Like, a big part of it is just knowing how to characterize to make up for some of the lack of things. And so, yeah, just this being an ill-fated Halloween night is about as much as it needs to be for a movie of this length and caliber. Yeah, I agree. Hardly agree. All right, so I do have the Rotten Tomatoes up. 115%.

Beautiful. Critics. Critics. What do you think, Tara? I'll go Critics 61. I'll go Audience 88. Critics, 35% audience 74%. Tara is closer. 63 for critics. Wow. Okay.

And audiences, though, tipped over popcorn bucket, 52%. Really? Fascinating. Do they not know how much work goes into practical effects? like that critics like this more than audiences that's wild that I would never expect that I would never expect that I feel like this movie would deliver the goods I mean like it sounds like a practical joke to me yeah I don't know in the in the I guess 53 could be worse I guess said you know it's like based off of how many people have done it I was gonna say the critical reviews can't be that numerous no they're low it's pretty low yeah okay it's like a handful it's like 27 reviews okay okay yeah that's not okay so i yeah that makes sense it's not like 200 critics agree uh but yes gang do we have any straight thoughts before we hit the road um no bring me more terrifying yeah this is a blast thank you for joining us thank you for squirming with us and uh you know just uh stay stay silly out

there and we'll catch you on the next one
