All Hallows' Eve

On All Hallows' Eve, a silent clown with a garbage bag full of fun follows two women.

I mean, it's possible he was just looking for the after party.

One of them had to be rude.

Sure.

I grew up going to the renting videotapes, and I just remember being sick and watching – laying in bed and renting the first Terrifier movie after seeing the All Hallows Eve stuff.

Oh, yeah.

And I was just blown away.

Universal Studios are doing houses.

You just reminded me of All Hallows Eve.

It did happen.

We're like the only good, remember this, how weird that, there's that weird alien part in the middle of it.

Art, my new goodness.

There is also, of course, the, what do you call it, All Hallows' Eve anthology movie as well, which is the very first appearance of the character, Art the Clown, at that point not played by our lovely David Howard Thornton.

But that's, you know, neither here or there.

Either of those will be great.

I have a personal preference for Terrifier just because I love David Howard Thornton.

I thought he brought some real magic to Art the Clown.

The All Hallows' Eve anthology does set up some pretty good lore for Art and some of the other things that happen along the way in the Terrifier series, so that's good, too.

Yeah, that would be my pick, since you've already shown Trick or Treat, which is still my favorite Halloween horror anthology.

Even the gorgeous Channel Ryan couldn't save this film.

Circus of the Dead came out one year after Damien Leone's All Hallows Eve, so it is a coincidence that Popcorn, the lead killer clown, looks kind of like art.

please refer to Leroy Jethro Gibbs rule number 39 for the answer to that question.

In a nutshell, if Rob Zombie and Damien Leone decided to team up and make the worst possible horror film in the history of horror films as a gag, Circus of the Dead would be it.

And obviously in the second and third one, they made that much more supernatural than what it was in the first one.

Right.

But if you watch All Hallows Eve, he was already pretty supernatural.

Because didn't his eyes light up like bright light?

Now it seems like he's going to be a part of Terrifier 4, you know, being actually a part of the Terrifier franchise.

He was, of course, Art the Clown in like All Hallows Eve and the short films, whatever, but he hasn't been a part of the franchise since then.

You know, he wasn't involved with Terrifier 1, 2, and 3.

Now I know I had a whole great big theory about, you know, people from the first Terrifier movie being a part of Terrifier 4, but now I'm starting to think that maybe Damian Leone was talking about, you know, the first one.

2013, also the year that gave us Art the Clown.

in his first feature film as well in All Hallows Eve.

The anthology film where he is kind of the host of the wraparound segments and then there's like one segment which was the All Hallows Eve short from I think 2010 or 2011.

Uh, so yeah, year that, uh, it was the year of, uh, go get them, go get them cuz with Texas chainsaw or do your thing.

Cuz there it is.

The first appearances in a feature film of Art the Clown were in...

All Hallows Eve, an anthology film made by Damien Leone, which incorporated his first film, The Ninth Circle, which featured art as more of like a creepy clown, but not a stabby clown, and the 20-minute Terrifier short film, and some like really fucky third segment-y film for it, which is forgettable but the whole wraparound of the anthology is the lady who plays the interviewer plays a babysitter on halloween night and the kids come home with all this candy but they find a videotape in the bottom of the candy and they watch it and it's like the short terrifying films

oh so it's kind of like vhs in that way so that's kind of the set for the anthology is it perfect example Well, we'll definitely do the VHS films we have.

Yeah, we should definitely do those.
