Tara and her friend Dawn had been walking back home from a Halloween party, but were too intoxicated to drive home themselves. The girls encounter a man dressed in a clown costume, and while Dawn is flirty to the clown, Tara is rightfully unnerved, and thus she and Dawn take refuge inside a pizzeria. The clown follows them there, however, and begins to stare at the girls whilst making ridiculous expressions, eventually giving Tara a silver ring. The restaurant's owner subsequently removes the clown for smearing his name, Art, with feces on the bathroom walls.
The girls return to their car to find the tires slashed, and thus Tara calls her sister Vicky to take them home. While waiting outside for Vicky, Tara asks to be let into a derelict apartment building to use the restroom; Mike, a pest control worker, reluctantly guides her through the building. Inside, Tara encounters a deluded cat lady, who believes a doll she has is her baby daughter. Meanwhile, Art returns to the pizzeria and murders the restaurant's two employees. Dawn learns of Art's murderous activities over the car radio, but Art climbs into the car with her before she can warn Tara.
Tara then realizes that she has been locked inside of the building, and has yet another run-in with Art, who chases her through the parking lot. She briefly manages to hide behind a car, but Art sneaks up behind her and saws into her foot. He then tries to choke her and gouge her eyes out before she stabs him with a fallen scalpel. Tara tries to call for help, but she is slowed down from her injured foot, and also discovers the phones are all blocked. She attempts to get Mike's attention, but because he is wearing headphones, he doesn't hear her, and she gets abducted by Art and sedated with a syringe.
Tara reawakens to find herself restrained to a chair, where Art taunts her with a hammer. He then walks over to a sheet hanging on the other side of the room, and unsheathes it to reveal Dawn, naked and hanging upside down. He then proceeds to slowly cut Dawn in half vertically from her crotch to her head as Tara watches in horror. Enraged and horrified, Tara manages to break off one of the wooden armrests of the chair she is tied to, and uses her free hand to untie her restraints. She then knocks Art to the ground with the armrest, before stabbing him in the back with a nearby knife laying on the ground and making an escape.

Terrifier is a 2016 American independent slasher film[5][6][7] written and directed by Damien Leone. The film stars Jenna Kanell, Samantha Scaffidi, David Howard Thornton, and Catherine Corcoran. The plot centers on partygoer Tara Heyes (Kanell) and her sister Victoria (Scaffidi), who become targets of the enigmatic serial killer known only as Art the Clown (Thornton) on Halloween night.
Mike Giannelli, who portrayed all prior incarnations of Art, retired from acting before production began, and Thornton replaced him as Art. It premiered at the Telluride Horror Show Film Festival in October 2016 before being picked up by Dread Central Presents and Epic Pictures for a limited theatrical release in March 2018. The film received mixed reviews, with praise directed towards the special effects and the portrayals of Kanell and Thornton, while the writing was subject to criticism. The movie quickly became a cult film.[8] A sequel, Terrifier 2, was released on October 6, 2022.[9]
On her show, talk show host Monica Brown interviews a severely disfigured woman, the sole survivor of a massacre that took place the previous Halloween. Brown mentions that the body of the mysterious killer, known only as "Art the Clown", disappeared from the morgue, suggesting he is still alive. When the disfigured woman insists she saw him die, Art, watching the program, destroys his TV, changes into costume, and fills a garbage bag with weapons. Later in her dressing room, Monica makes disparaging remarks about the interviewee's appearance to her partner. The disfigured woman, who'd been eavesdropping, attacks Monica and gouges out her eyes, laughing maniacally.
On Halloween night, two friends, Tara and Dawn, drunkenly leave a party and encounter Art, who follows them to a pizzeria. Art is kicked out by the restaurant owner for smearing his feces over the bathroom walls. The girls discover that Dawn's car tire has been slashed, and Tara calls her sister Vicky to pick them up. Art returns to the pizzeria, killing two workers.
While waiting, Tara asks a pest control worker, Mike, to be let into the apartment building he's working in to use the restroom. There, she encounters the Cat Lady, a deluded squatter who believes the doll she carries is her infant child. Art attacks Dawn and subdues Tara with a sedative.
Tara awakens, bound to a chair, to see Dawn suspended upside-down. Art forces her to watch as he saws Dawn in half. Tara escapes but he shoots her to death, then attacks Mike. The Cat Lady discovers Art with her doll, and in a plea for the return of her "child", attempts to show motherly compassion by cradling him.
Vicky arrives and discovers Art, who has mutilated the Cat Lady and is wearing her scalp and breasts. Art chases her and decapitates Mike's co-worker Will. Vicky finds her sister's corpse as Art attacks her with a makeshift cat o' nine tails. Mike knocks Art unconscious. The two flee and call 9-1-1. Art recovers and kills Mike, then hits Vicky with a pickup truck. As she lies unconscious, Art begins to eat her face. The police finally arrive, but Art shoots himself before he can be apprehended.
After the police discover Vicky is still alive, Art's body and those of his victims are taken to a morgue, where Art reanimates and attacks the medical examiner. One year later, Vicky is released from the hospital after rehabilitation; she is revealed to be the disfigured woman from the film's opening; thus the events of the movie showed the massacre that took place the previous year.
The character of Art the Clown first appeared as a supporting character in the 2008 short film The 9th Circle, which Leone wrote and directed.[10] Leone later wrote and directed a short film titled Terrifier, which featured Art as the main antagonist and was released in 2011.[11] These shorts were incorporated into the 2013 anthology film All Hallows' Eve,[12] which marked both Art's first feature film appearance and Leone's feature directorial debut.[13]
In 2015, Leone launched a campaign on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo to finance Terrifier, a feature-length spin-off of All Hallows' Eve.[14] After being notified of the Indiegogo campaign, filmmaker Phil Falcone provided the necessary funds for the project in exchange for a producer credit.[15][16] In The 9th Circle, the short film Terrifier, and All Hallows' Eve, Art was played by Mike Giannelli,[13][17] who opted not to return to the role for the feature film Terrifier due to not wanting to pursue any more major acting roles. Instead, the role of Art was recast to David Howard Thornton.[18] Thornton was already familiar with All Hallows' Eve when he auditioned for the role of Art in Terrifier, and was cast in the role after improvising a kill scene in mime.[18]
Terrifier premiered at the Telluride Horror Show Film Festival in 2016.[19] It was later screened at the Horror Channel FrightFest on October 28, 2017,[20] and was subsequently picked up by Dread Central Presents and Epic Pictures for a limited 2018 release.[21] In April 2023, it was announced that Terrifier would be released theatrically in 700 theaters on July 19, 2023.[22][23]
Terrifier was released on DVD and Blu-ray by Dread Central on March 27, 2018. The release features audio commentary from Damien Leone and David H. Thornton, behind-the-scenes footage, an interview with star Jenna Kanell, deleted scenes, collectible reversible cover art, and several other bonus features.[24]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 55% of 22 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "All about the splashy kills, Terrifier artfully introduces the unpredictable massacrer mime Art, yet fails to carve an entertaining story worthy of his wrath."[25]
