    Storyline

    • Trivia
      David Howard Thornton was the sixth person who auditioned for Art The Clown after Mike Giannelli retired from the role and acting altogether. During the audition, he began miming tasting his beheaded victim's blood, but then added salt to it to improve its flavor. This is what won him the role.
    • Goofs
      When Art the Clown murders the first exterminator by stomping on his face, his skull is shattered and his head is left completely destroyed. When his body is shown in the morgue near the end, however, there is noticeably far less damage.
    • Quotes

      EMT Roman: How can you eat a greasy croissant while you're cutting up dead bodies?

      Coroner: Sweetheart, I've been doing this twenty-two years, alright? Once you've seen an eight-month-old microwaved to death... everything else is just old hat.

    • Alternate versions
      There is a heavily edited version on YouTube which removes the graphic violence and gore, as well as the nudity.

    Doesn't try to be anything other than what it is

    If you love old school gory psycho killer horror fare this is unmissable. "Terrifier " has no interest whatsoever in being smart, satirical or post modern, it just wants to wear its mean spirited, gory grindhouse heart on its sleeve - and good for it.
