John Humphrey, Tara Erickson & Aaron Alexander dive into Damien Leone’s TERRIFIER 2 — the viral horror sensation that shocked audiences with its extreme gore, practical effects, and the terrifying return of Art the Clown (played by David Howard Thornton). Starring Lauren LaVera (Sienna Shaw), Elliott Fullam (Jonathan), and Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp) in terrifying cameo roles, this cult slasher pushes boundaries with the infamous bedroom kill scene, comic book dream sequence, resurrection opening, and Terrifier clown café massacre. We discuss why Terrifier 2 became a word-of-mouth phenomenon during Halloween season, how Lauren LaVera became a new horror icon, the rebirth of indie practical horror. We theorize on Art’s origin, pale girl mystery, supernatural resurrection, religious symbolism, connection to Terrifier 1, and speculate on the rumored Terrifier cinematic universe. Featuring iconic horror references to Halloween, Friday the 13th, Evil Dead, X, Saw, Smile, and The Conjuring. Join us as we react to the most brutal kills, shocking twists, legendary final battle, and why TERRIFIER 2 may be the goriest movie in modern horror history!

Starting point is 00:02:49 I'm pulling the questions up right now. Johnny Boys getting up those questions. I feel amazing. What an experience. Oh, man. We did a gang. Wow, wow, wow. May I just say,
Starting point is 00:03:02 I think this may have been worse than the first movie. It was. Oh, yeah, by a mile. Oh, by a mile. Absolutely. This one was going way harder. The first one had a higher concentration
Starting point is 00:03:14 of, like, goo and kills, like, given the time, animal disclaimer. No animals harmed during the making in this film. very much uh yeah this first movie is definitely a lot more dense with kills because of the runtime but this uh yeah certainly like gooified that much harder and uh yeah and uh and yeah the only one that came close in the first one was the upside down kill that was the first kill
Starting point is 00:03:45 of the last movie that was the centerpiece of the movie that was yeah like the big showstopper and this one was like we're going to go extreme as many times as possible Yeah Yeah Who Freaking nutty bananas Nutty sandwiches
Starting point is 00:04:01 All right We got questions guys We got patron questions We do We got question fire We're pulling them up Getting them loaded We're getting them locked
Starting point is 00:04:12 As fresh As possible for you guys Because y'all want to know the terrifier stuff The juice As terror would say. As funky and fresh as possible, Johnny Boy, do you want to start it off?
Starting point is 00:04:26 Sure thingy. D.K. Lounge. How do you think arts and the little pale girl tie into the mid-credit scene with our previous films, Survivor? That's a good question. Bro, I don't know. It's a good question. I am not ultimately certain for I initially imagined that the little girl was
Starting point is 00:04:52 some kind of shared hallucination, linking them all to some kind of fatherly art bond, which I appreciate them leaving vague and not necessarily validating because, who knows? But how do I think Art and the little pale girl tie into the... It's a great question. Obviously, she's marked by Art, Victoria, and, you know, is traumatized through this experience. We know that art is at least to some degree supernatural, maybe perhaps. and so yeah the little girl still fascinates me i'm not really sure but i feel like the rebirth and continuation of art as a force is somehow being you know perpetuated via victoria but that's what
Starting point is 00:05:39 i got at the moment yeah you know the first one started off making us think that art was just a guy and he was just a murder and crazy guy but obviously at the end of the first one you see that there is a supernatural element to him in his existence and yeah maybe it's just like some dark spirit that binds all of the debauchery and horribleness and you know she's infected art and she's clearly infected this girl who's in the mental asylum because she was our third act protagonist and now she's having headbirths in an asylum so you know i i couldn't give too much logic into how that all ties together
Starting point is 00:06:25 but I'm sure maybe we'll find out in the third one Terry do you have any theories for what's going on I'm traumatized also is it called Munchhausen syndrome right is that what she has
Starting point is 00:06:38 no Stockholm syndrome yeah thank you yeah learn to identify with your captors yep that's what's happening here that's how I think it ties in I cannot get some images out of my head right now. Like, I am like, oh, my God, I don't have words. That's what I have to say to that question for now,
Starting point is 00:06:59 because I know we have more. Sure, sure. A mental health condition where a person intentionally fakes or induces visit. That's Munchausen. Yeah, that's... Okay, I'm thinking of Stockholm Syndrome, where I think that's what she's got because she identifies and starts to love
Starting point is 00:07:15 and form an emotion bond with her capture. who is art, and now she has birthed him out of her vagina and is, like, get away the juices. Got to get that placenta. Got to get those juices, the naniotic fluids. The pale girl had her black juices at the beginning, and then the girl in the asylum had her juices. You don't remember she's sitting on the bench.
Starting point is 00:07:38 I very much remember. We don't what? Wouldn't forget? Uh, yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure exactly what to make. of that dreamy because it seems like a thing that art sees
Starting point is 00:07:52 and that the kids both see so they're all sharing something yeah they're sharing some kind of thing so I hope the third one maybe gives us an answer on that yeah I have to imagine that the idea here is that they're supposed to confuse us with this little girl and then part three will give us something yeah but I feel like
Starting point is 00:08:12 with our this movie gave us more questions than it answers as to what was going on with him that first movie. Mayhaps? But we're here for answers, baby. We're here for at all. Thomas Doherty, thank you for
Starting point is 00:08:25 chiming in. This movie is very different from the previous, due to the amount of backstory and character development between Art the Clown and Sienna. Did you enjoy those additions to the movie and getting to know more about this world or do you prefer the more simple slasher premise of the first movie? Great job, as always.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Thank you so much. What do you think, gang? Um, I dug the fact that this was a more fleshed out movie. I thought all the performances were really good. And I think it just made you care a little bit more, even though you know that we're here for the slashes and the kills and art to do his thing. But I think giving us a central protagonist to root for to combat all the horribleness and trauma the art is given to us all. I think that it made it for a thoroughly more enjoying experience. Plus, I did not see that last 20 minutes coming and her getting to come back to life and take him out and be reunited with her brother.
Starting point is 00:09:26 I was happy that we got to have a happy ending for this movie. I guess as happy as you can be by the time that things wrap up. But, yeah, I like this one a lot. I don't even know if likes the right word for that. but you know it was it was definitely creative to say the least Tara how did you feel I definitely like the additions because I mean every film has to have a backstory
Starting point is 00:09:51 has to have character development if you want the audience to care so my assumption is either Damien is the director's name I think yeah he was like oh now I have money and time to write an actual script where we can have the time in the foundation to have character development and then have someone win at the end, which is fun. I mean, this was like, this is like film, film, even though, yeah, I'm damaged. It was painful, but this is more of a film than the first one was. The first one was like, it's a blastrooney, a slasher, it's fun, this one's still fun, but different levels of, I guess I would say, obviously script writing, plot wise, which I think just stepping up the game in that genre makes it more of a film that people are.
Starting point is 00:10:38 are like, oh, there's a story here, which is good. Yeah, I would agree. I think that this movie benefits from the fact that you are upgrading from the, you know, lean and mean nature of the first movie. You know, I think that they complement each other that way and they give you something to appreciate, you know, bouncing off of one another.
Starting point is 00:10:59 But yeah, I definitely, I enjoy both ideas. You know, I like a lean, mean, straightforward slasher movie just as much as I like something. that has room to breathe and develop its characters and all that stuff, and I like that they chose to do that here frequently. It's always nice when you're sitting, watching a movie and going like, oh, man, this is a good scene.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I actually care about the character, you know, and the actors are really bringing their all. And, you know, I know we're here for the goo and the gore and stuff like that. But, yeah, I thought that they nicely, you know, expounded upon this universe. And I like that it's like a little bit
Starting point is 00:11:36 supernatural, but a lot of it is just, yeah this lean mean kind of inescapable force just stalking and mutilating people and uh yeah it still maintains that gleeful slasher ridiculousness but in a much more relatable package and uh yeah i think it's good work all around uh this could easily go wrong and if it's not hitting then you're like well we're not here for the drama you know guys but when the drama works it it's quality and it bolsters like i can see the more we watch the more i'm like i get how this is like a massive cultural phenomenon in horror right now. So, yeah,
Starting point is 00:12:12 I appreciate the backstory character development and just additional filmmaking flourishes. But both vibes are cool with me. Resonance Z Zed. Thank you for chiming in. How do you, I hope
Starting point is 00:12:28 you all enjoyed the movie. Terrifier 2 is definitely one of my favorite horror movies now. No small part due to Art and Lauren Levera. Awesome final girl, by the way. Here. here just she was question I have loved horror movies for as long as I can remember
Starting point is 00:12:44 but I do know I'm a bit desensitized do you think that after watching this movie it will also desensitize you a little bit to other horror movies Tara I mean yeah I mean I've
Starting point is 00:12:58 yeah I just here's what I'll say to that yes but also we will not get the level of practical effects that you get in these movies in any other movie. Movies will try to do what they did, but because the director is also special effects guy and he does his props, we got some of the most amazing practical effects that I want, I don't want anything to do it, but yes, I think it will desensitize me to, like, gruesome stuff, but then at the same time, I want to be like, no, because I'm still going to want to barf and not going
Starting point is 00:13:38 want to see it so i don't know i don't know what to tell you oh man that's that's funny uh yes and no because i think for me because it's just my own experiences i found when i was a young when i was a kid when i was a young kid that horror movies used to scare me a lot and as i got older more things that were like i guess campy or even certain kills within movies so i found funny Just have a dark sense of humor. But certain things, like in this movie, still mess me up. Like, anything with, like, bones breaking or, like, knees getting cracked open, just destroy me every time.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I have a hard time looking at those things, mainly because I have, like, my own injuries and it reminds me of those things. So I don't want to feel the things that they're feeling. But I think as far as general gore, it does sort of desensitize, especially with they're combining things with the CGI and I feel like
Starting point is 00:14:41 when you do something that's CGI part of your brain knows is that it's fake so it makes it less impactful not to say it's not effective but I feel like overall if you're going to do something like this
Starting point is 00:14:52 practical is the way to go and I feel like nobody does it better than the director here yeah I mean I feel like knowing something is in camera always helps even if you can tell it's not real having it in
Starting point is 00:15:05 knowing that it was on the actual set and people were actually interacting like it makes it feel more real I don't know man I guess maybe but at the same time it's kind of like you said I think that's a good point it's like certain stuff's always gonna kind of get under your skin
Starting point is 00:15:21 and make you squirm and I mean certainly I've watched a whole lot of gory, achy movies and to me I mean you know there's always the idea I don't know I'm always aware that barring a couple of movies out there that most of the stuff
Starting point is 00:15:37 you're seeing is like not real so I'm always able to have some level of fun and if I'm looking at real life gore it's totally different not that I seek that out but you know when you're confronted with it so I don't know maybe but I feel like at this point I've seen
Starting point is 00:15:53 enough horror movies that are icky and disgusting to where this still got me squirming still had me a couple moments being like oh god no I don't want to look fully at this so maybe but I'm really actually too concerned. In fact, I'm kind of pleased that I can have enough of, you know, enough gall to look, but also enough sort of human reflex to be like, oh, gross. So yeah, it's like it's fun to watch the stuff, the geek show element I certainly get down with, but also, it is gross and icky, and it makes you imagine the sensation on yourself. And so, uh, not completely anyway, even if maybe a little, another drop has been added to that bucket. Um, But if this is your first time, you know, with an extremely gory movie, then they might desensitize you.

Starting point is 00:18:41 Both types of movies make you feel bad, but in very different ways. Do you think graphic practical shots are a, quote, cop out for making someone squirm? No. No. No. I squirmed, oh, I couldn't even look at some of this stuff
Starting point is 00:18:56 because it was so real. He literally grabbed a ball sack from a guy and stretched it in front of the girl's face in front of a window. like I can't there's so many things I don't even want to describe I can't I just like no I can't that's it that's it oh my God the thing is the two they're both under the category and umbrella of horror right I feel for me this is more like ooh icky whereas movies like hereditary or like barbarian like give me anxiety so I feel like it's the not knowing of the tension that feels more scary for me than watching something that's horrifying.
Starting point is 00:19:40 So I'd feel like if I were to, I'd probably watch something like this over something like a hereditary for the first time because of that thing. This doesn't make me anxious. It just makes me just like, ah, God, why pain? But yeah,
Starting point is 00:19:57 that's how I feel about that. What about you, John? This is overtly disgusting, but it's way more fun. It's weird. Like, I grant some people are not going to have fun with a movie like this. I don't know how much fun Tara had watching this movie. But they're just different, and I appreciate both of them. I mean, I agree, like a hereditary or a rosemary's.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Like, a hereditary has such an oppressive, dark, heavy tone, and so much, like, interpersonal anguish. And it does get supernatural, but it's very tangible and, like, how harsh it is. And so, like, there's not a lot of fun you can have with that or that I could have with that I are like not hereditary but like midsumar is a similarly toned movie and that was a movie where I got to a point where I'm like I can kind of find some of this hilarious because of how oppressive it is but I feel like that stuff makes me feel worse than something like this that's more predicated on gleeful wacky extreme violence that yeah like looks really good is is well rendered to look
Starting point is 00:21:01 realistic enough. I don't know if I prefer one over the other. I mean, the thing is, like, I think this movie works because it's going for extreme go. Like, it's only a cop-out to go for extreme go.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I feel like if you don't have anything else, and I feel like the previous movie did enough otherwise that I was like, oh, you know, it's actually kind of a nifty little movie. And this movie certainly went out of its way to be more of like a film
Starting point is 00:21:25 than it needed to. You know, in a good way. I appreciate them for doing that. I don't know I guess something like a hereditary Rosemary's Baby makes me feel worse because you're in the slow descent into horrific madness whereas this is just
Starting point is 00:21:40 balls to the walls and it's kind of playing with you and poking at you and making you squirm and you can tell like there's more fun being had behind the camera I guess yeah but I appreciate both traditions Kev B what do you think about what do you think it is
Starting point is 00:21:56 about art the clown that sticks with you long after watching terrified is it the sheer brutality the way he never says a word or something else that makes him so chilling I think it's two-thirds I think it's those things but I think the secret sauce is that he is giving a clown
Starting point is 00:22:12 performance. Yeah. Like Damien David, whatever's name is Howard Thornton is like doing a lot with mannerisms and expressions and like he's doing mime and doing clown and that's fun because it makes him, it gives him this personality that you can
Starting point is 00:22:28 wonder about and project onto and I like As much as it seemed like they were setting up explanations and backstory, you end without that in an overt sense. And I think that's actually kind of good. Like, people seem to like Terrifier 3 also, so I'm excited to see that. I'm curious as to what lore deepens and what they choose to explain there. But I feel like it's sort of the combination of those things, the mystery of who and what he is. He just feels like a force of nature, sort of. And since he is a bit supernatural overtly, you know, there's that too.
Starting point is 00:22:59 but I think it's yeah it's it's all that it's the brutality it's the silence but it's also just like there's so much we've seen so many silent killers you've watched all the jasons and now you're watching all the Michaels and stuff like that and like this is a character who keeps that tradition of silence but has so much brimming under the surface and I think that's the charm yeah no I wholeheartedly agree I think that that combination of because he's actually doing clown work and in that he's actually funny but like in a disturbing way he like walks that line between being funny and hilarious and and off-putting and haunting and uncomfortable and when he actually does his thing it's oftentimes worse than you imagine it would be which is a very impressive feat to to achieve so you're seeing somebody who is both funny and horrifying and inhabit the screen at the at the same time in one person. So I feel like that was what makes him stand out for me. What about you do?
Starting point is 00:24:02 Well, I'll tell you, when he lies down in the bed with the girl that he very brutally murdered, peels her skin off, scalped her, and then he's eating away at her pieces. And he's, like, laughing and waving at the mom. You're like, you can't not have it in here for a minute. So I think that's, it's just, it's insane. The stuff that he doesn't hear is wild And he is laughing and giggling the whole time So you're like, yeah, that's nothing like we've ever seen before
Starting point is 00:24:39 And I think that's why Absolutely. All right, we're going to do a little speed run from Leon here Leon 03, we're going to do these. We've chopped these up into four And we're going to do them kind of in a tandem But, you know, because you are the lion's share of our questions here, be a little brief about it, but the little girl is apparently a different entity that resurrected
Starting point is 00:25:02 art from the morgue, but may not be the actual ghost of the girl, but a demon. Good, I'm still confused. This movie introduces more story beats that get further explored in Terror Fire 3. Do you all think this movie is a huge improvement over the first one, or does the gore
Starting point is 00:25:18 distract from the plot? I think as we've said, I mean, it's definitely improvement in terms of what they have at their disposal in terms of storytelling characterization. I don't think the gore distracts because it's part of the point of why we're here and coming out of the first movie, it would be weird if there was no gore. And I think this actually did a nice job of
Starting point is 00:25:34 balancing character moments to gore so that I wasn't sitting here going, get on with it, when's the next kill? And when the next kill would arise, I would be appropriately arrested by it. Agreed. I appreciate what they did here. Yeah. Might say the same. All right. Number two.
Starting point is 00:25:51 This movie was being filmed during COVID, and the director took the time during shutdown to add way more Gore. Hell yeah, man. Specifically in the torture scene in the bedroom at Siena's friend. Do you think, do you guys think this movie
Starting point is 00:26:04 pushes the boundaries of unrated theatrical film even further than the other iconic horror franchises? Yes, hands down. 110 and 20, 250%. Yeah, this is definitely unique gore. I mean, I've seen movies
Starting point is 00:26:20 that compete in the level of goring, and I think unrated really opens you up to a lot of stuff. So, like, if this had a rating, I would be like, well, absolutely. But definitely, I mean, definitely trying to push the boundaries in terms of what you can show and what's real or what looks real. So, props to that.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Because, too, there were a couple moments that looked like, we were talking about the guy on the floor, Ricky. It looked like they did a splice or something, or they actually had him laying there, and they must have, like, married with digital effects their practical head or something like that. So, yeah, I appreciate him for taking the opportunity.
Starting point is 00:26:53 And I definitely push the boundary for us, I'd say. All right, Sienna in her angel warrior costume, Wonder Woman inspired maybe, I would agree with that, was apparently an idea that the director had for a very long time and finally got to develop properly in the sequel. It's his personal favorite character he ever created, and it's almost Nightmare Elm Street inspired. I could imagine that for sure. Can Sienna be considered a potential final girl icon like Veronica from the first film? Absolutely. 100%.
Starting point is 00:27:19 She's 100% of final girl. She has an awesome costume to go with her final girl look. Totally. And she lives to the end, supernatural or no, she makes it. So, yeah, there you go. And finally, hopefully, y'all see the mid-credit scene in the hospital. Oh, we caught that. Is the scene one of the most bizarre what the fuck moments in a movie ever?
Starting point is 00:27:40 What do y'all think it means? That means art's coming back. It's art coming back, and yes, it was one of the weirdest post-credit scenes I've ever seen. Totally. Yeah. Especially you're just cutting back and forth from, like, silly banter with Chris Jericho to, yeah, horrific blood spouting from places I don't want to think about. Biggie doesn't mind her
Starting point is 00:27:57 her fucked up face now. She's just in love with art. She just wants more of it. Yeah. She's gone crazy. Yep. Well, I could do. All right. Got a few other little fun, surface level questions to go. Let's jump on this. Eric Horstman. Hey, John, Aaron, and Tara.
Starting point is 00:28:14 This one ups the gore, but also the storytelling and the action is one. Acting is 100% better. Love Lauren Lavera. I'm by, but only for you. That's good That's good She's out there, man
Starting point is 00:28:27 And I hope that one day You guys get to meet And you know Strike up a beautiful relationship What's worse in your nightmares The magician's bottom to top saw What's worse in your nightmares The magician's bottom to top saw
Starting point is 00:28:41 In half in one Or the mesmerizing bedroom Torture scene in this one They're both pretty bad Yeah, they're both gnarly They're both pretty rough The bedroom scene is more elaborate and longer lived.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Yep. Like the bisect magicians kill is disgusting and horrible and it's awful to imagine yourself in that position.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Which I thought I forgot about until you just reminded me, Eric. But we do move through it relatively expediently by comparison. So I guess I mean,
Starting point is 00:29:15 they're both incredibly memorable scenes. Yeah. And talk to me any day and one might edge out the other. But I think think the bedroom scene is mesmerizing as you said so the other one doesn't really give you time
Starting point is 00:29:28 to get mesmerized but hope it works out for you and uh and your lovely bonnie last bisexual scream queen crush there eric janguin how uh with how gnarly and twisted art is do you think he's up there in terms of just outright evil with characters like freddie kruger and michael myers oh 100% he's more evil yeah easily the most sadistic they've ever seen yeah because Freddy, well, oh, no, no, okay, I thought you said Jason. Freddy Kruger, he's pretty evil. He's probably equally as evil as Freddy. And more evil than Michael, I would say.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Yeah, I'm down with that, because Freddy fuck with kids, so, you know. Yeah. And Art's not afraid to do that either. Yeah, so, yeah, I agree with what John said. Yeah, they're both, like, gleeful, and they're laughing at you, and, like, Freddy cracks jokes, and they're both jokester guys. I don't know. They're both evil. You know, since Art makes sure
Starting point is 00:30:26 you feel it instead of just going for the unaliving. No, yeah. That's the thing. Freddy does that too. When is Art coming to Mortal Kombat? That's what I want to know. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Oh, I need it. I need it. So many fatalities. So many possibilities. Like, what about me? You think he's going to try to attack? He just pulls off the gun. That's just it.
Starting point is 00:30:50 I love, like, nothing. Few things are as twisted and hilarious to me as the amount of guns are you expect him to kill people with all sorts of means, implements, and otherwise and yet, the pistol in the first movie, hilarious.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Tommy Gunn here, fun, but also the sought-off shotgun. Hilarious. Horrible. Horrifying. Oh, yeah. Love it. Pierre the Reject. What is the craziest kill you've seen in the franchise by now? In this franchise? Bedroom. bedroom bedroom or balls
Starting point is 00:31:23 bed oh yeah balls was nasty bedroom or saw upside down saw the bisector yeah was pretty disgusting I'm trying to think if there's another kill in this movie that we're forgetting about but uh but yeah the bedroom kill was particularly awfully brutal
Starting point is 00:31:38 uh yeah leave us your thoughts on that one though acid was pretty rough as well but acid to the face yeah I was bad I felt for her I felt sorry but uh yeah if another one Oh, oh, oh, no, that still counts as a bedroom. Well, mom's hollowed out head for the candy, I thought, was pretty pretty goody, too.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Riley Peterson, someone get Tara a hug and some water. Agree. Roxy mentioned that she considered this the scariest movie she had seen. Would you all agree? I don't think it's the scariest movie I've seen, but definitely one of the most fucked-up movies I've seen. Sure. I would agree with that. It's up there.
Starting point is 00:32:19 I'm not as scared by this kind of stuff as I am Like Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer is like You know a movie that has some slasher tendencies But is like based on real shit And is really scuzzy and grimy and down to earth Where it's like this I find pretty fun overall Yeah I thought movies like weapons are the strangers Maybe more anxious but this was definitely the most like
Starting point is 00:32:41 Horrible as far as visuals go Yeah the most brutal stuff I've ever seen Hands down There you have it Resonance Zed 1 to 10 What is your excitement quote unquote level
Starting point is 00:32:56 For Terra Fire 3 11 Oh yeah baby 12 13 We are here for it I hear there's some Some different holiday flavors
Starting point is 00:33:11 In Terrapire 3 So we got that to look forward to Jay rushed and closing us out Like this movie with plot is gross and ridiculous question. Would you ever leave the movie theater because it's too gory to watch? Ugh.
Starting point is 00:33:28 No. No, I just would look away. I can't be. Yeah, I'm not typically leaving a movie theater. No, I wouldn't leave. I'm glued. Yeah, it would have to be something truly like morally circumstantial.
Starting point is 00:33:44 There'd have to be some element of truly heinousness It's also bordering on reality or that involves real, you know, mutilation or something like that to get me to leave. There's this one movie on NEPA's called, like, Power of the Dog, something. It came out like three years ago. Kristen Dunst is in it. I think our husband, somebody else. There's something that happens to the horse.
Starting point is 00:34:09 And I, if I was in a theater, I would have walked out. I was at my house and shut it off. I was like, nope. Yeah, I only walked out of two movies, the last. And Barbarian, but both of them, I came back. I was so scared. I made me anxious, but I had to go finish it. I had to see it through.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Hell yeah. That's it. That's it. We respect it. All right, Kev B, closing us out with a little trivia. Arts makeup took around three hours every day to apply. I am actually kind of surprised by that, but he does have prosthetics plus the paint, plus the teeth, plus the blood, so I guess I get it. The infamous bedroom scene was inspired by a real.
Starting point is 00:34:49 life crime photo of Jack the Ripper's last victim Mary Kelly, director Damien Leone, quote, reverse engineered the look to create one of the most shocking moments in the film. There you go, kids. Real life inspirations there. Oh, wonderful, wonderful images and things that I have to think about after this is over. Anyway, you guys, that was Terrifier 2. Thank you for joining us and watching our
