David literally killed in this role...he was seriously scary and very believable as an instant horror icon. Looking forward to the next movie with him as Art again. Wow,
He looks a bit like Freedy Kruger and that leprechaun character. The fact that he doesn't have a round red nose and curly ginger hair is a welcome scry change he looks like a total monster from a nightmare.
@@kiillabytez I am not sure, but I know it was in production not long ago before the pandemic hit. So, delayed a bit like everything else, but I am sure they are doing their best.
I Know you can call him a terrifier... I suck but the movie was great gore horror and shit pants fuel I saw this at 3:00am and my dog ran out of my room looking disgusted
Unholy vThunder i watched it at night in my room....i really had to go to the bathroom after the movie and i was staring into the darkness of the living room and was wondering how long i could hold it in for 😅
Art > OG Pennywise > New Pennywise. Although the actor did a really great job under the makeup in the new IT film; I just don't think that makeup was scary. He looks a little bit spooky, sure, but art looks fucking *terrifying* . I hope we never hear him speak; it makes him so much scarier.
I saw another interview of him actually dressed as Art and I didn't look away from him the whole time. He just steals the show. He is a very talented actor, especially with how much personality he is able to convey without saying a word.
I'm trying to think of a really great horror character (a real character, not just a one-note monster) that debuted after Freddy but before Art, and there really isn't too many. Dr. Decker from nightbreed maybe? The more I try and think of some really good ones, the more I realize we've been in desperate need of a really great horror character like Art for a long time now.
Maybe it's because i love clowns that i wasn't scared...I really enjoyed his miming and his bloody teeth. Only one thing actually popped out and surprised me, but that vagina cut made me grab myself *ouch*
I just love that half the actors like this guy play such evil violent characters but in real life they are like the nicest most down to earth people you will ever meet.
Yep - i met CJ Graham (Jason) at The Gas Station (TX Chainsaw Massacre 1974) in October 2021, and he was truly a sweetheart, and super funny! I'm normally a proper, serious, dignified person around strangers, but he brought out the kid in me 😂
The thing they touched on really well in terms of the Mr Bean inspiration is that he's universal; you don't have to speak English, or really ANY language to get the joke, because he barely speaks, it's all visual and a physical performance. The same goes for Terrifier; because Art is silent, you don't need to speak English to understand why he's scary or understand his motives, because he doesn't HAVE any. At least none that are ever stated. He's just... merciless. The original Texas Chainsaw did that really well, too. Leatherface and his family never provide any hint as to the answer to "WHY?", and that's SCARY! His family do speak, but they never voice any motive, or much of anything sane at all. The key thing is that a character that speaks and expresses a motive can be reasoned with. A character that doesn't, cannot, and that makes them terrifying.
Same with the first Halloween. Michael Myers' family seems normal, middle class, no motive, he doesn't speak...that makes it more awesome!! Zombie's version, giving him a troubled backstory, spoiled all of that.
I JUST watched Terrifier 2, never seen or even heard of it before and it is hands down and absolutely amazing movie and ART/ David Thornton did an amazing job playing Art the clown 👏👏
David Howard Thornton was incredible as Art the Clown and you asked some really great questions. You can tell he enjoyed playing Art and hopefully we get to see more of him in the future!
I watched Terrifier last night. I’ve looked for an interview with this guy to assure myself he’s actually a decent guy in real life and I can sleep better tonight.
Just to recover from the trauma, I love to see the interviews of the actors or the behind the set /making of the movie , to put everything right with the world..
I love seeing super down to earth people that play the most terrifying characters. Like Bill Skarsgard, he was always making sure the kids were okay on the set of IT after he filmed scary scenes with them.
There's a very sweet continuity that throughout film history the scariest clowns have been portrayed by the nicest people, Tim Curry and Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise, Joaquin Phoenix, Heath Ledger(RIP) and Jack Nicholson as the Joker, John Carol Lynch as Twisty the Clown(AHS),David Howard Thortan as Art the Clown. And of course ALL these actors are absolute professionals.
he still moves his head and laughs like him lol. he is a sweet guy but damm if i was in the movie i would still be scred cause its a whole new wardrobe
It's so cool to see the actor behind the horrifying clown. David did an incredible job in bringing to life the writers' vision and with their writing he managed to depict one of the most brutal but at times funny killer. Like the scene where he gets hit and he just pulls out a gun to smoke the "MC" in the first movie and just keeps wasting the entire clip.
As the late great writer Ray Bradbury (Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451) said, “Enthusiasm is contagious.” And you definitely feel love and enthusiasm from everybody involved in The Terrifier franchise.
David’s Point about guns being a power trip is legitimately insightful. There was even a whole It’s Always Sunny episode about it. I’m saying this as someone who’s shot guns before at ranges, it does give you an immense adrenaline rush and it’s important to keep that in check
Art the clown sent chills up my spine. Those different facial expressions alone scared tf outta me and I love watching horror films. He played that role really really well. Would love to see part 2....damn!!! GREAT JOB!!
Felicia Lobo // GirlyGore I would have locked myself in a bunker if he had sat there and starred at you the entire interview, and said nothing... but smile. Ugh, I’m gonna have trouble sleeping tonight 👀🙄
hah, cool name, once I tried to memorize the 50 (or something) first digits (I think what you have exactly) of Pi in an afternoon... I could tell them backwards at the end of the day and in the morning after, without fail... I was just bored but recognised now that you have all the digits correct I think so... it's interesting how our mind can remember that; you didn't just wrote numbers at random after 3.14152 that I think everybody would recognize as the next 50
It makes so much sense that he has a background in comedy...this is the first time a horror movie made me laugh (in a very uncomfortable way but a laugh nonetheless) other horror movies that have made me laugh are it 2 (specifically the naked grandma scene) and tusk
I thought it was influenced by Ed Gein who killed one of his victims like that and chopped her head off. You can google the crime scene pictures. Also, psycho, Texas chainsaw massacre, silence of the lambs and Buffalo Bill were inspired by his crimes. As well as the song dead skin mask by slayer.
Fantastic actor, it’s a shame the movie isn’t as famous as it should be (although it is growing slowly!!) Can’t wait for the sequel. By far Terrifier is one of the best recent horror movies, so perfectly campy but still genuinely creepy and disturbing at the same time
That was a great interview. He's such a nice guy in person. He definitely makes pennywise look like a baby when it comes to horror and gore as Art the clown. Great job on the movie. Can't wait to watch Terrifier 2 when it comes out.
I just recently got introduced to Art the Clown and he definitely puts Pennywise to shame without saying a word and Pennywise freaks me out BIG time since I just hate clowns in general. How did such a nice guy get the job of the most despicable freak I've seen though? 😳 He did such an AMAZING job though!!! 😀
Art was featured in my horror clown display this Halloween. I downloaded scary pics of Capt Spaulding, both versions of Pennywise, and Art the Clown, put them in blood-red picture frames, and displayed them on my wall, surrounded with tiny skulls painted as evil clowns. He is now a part of horror cinema history.
It’s so cool to hear him talk and know he’s a normal friendly person
He’s awesome! Thanks for watching 🖤
Lol well what were you expecting? He's not an actual monster 😂

My brain is having trouble conciliating that this normal looking friendly guy is Art the Clown, I'm having a Tobias Forge is Papa Emeritus moment.
I love clowns, but Art is pure nightmare fuel. David's body language and facial expressions are spot on.
It’s true!! Terrifying.
I Know you can call him a terrifier... I suck but the movie was great gore horror and shit pants fuel I saw this at 3:00am and my dog ran out of my room looking disgusted
Truly.
He is an amazing actor! Art was SO creepy!!!
I agree!!!
Meh t2o
Tiffany Twisted it would be so cool if they made a sequel cause I have so many questions after seeing the crazy ending!

Totally! He’s pretty amazing
Let's be honest. Art the clown is much scarier than pennywise
Agree
My ex-wife is scarier than Pennywise!
@@kiillabytez I feel you there.
Ronald McDonald is scarier than Pennywise.
100%. Pennywise is 100 times better as a character tho(specially in the book)
He’s such an awesome guy. Always responds on Instagram and added me as a Facebook friend. Very nice dude
Yeah he’s the best!
Chef TreeFiddy careful dude. He’s trying to lure you in so he can kill you

@Samael Mashhit On RUclips, too. Such a cool guy and makes such an evil, brilliant villain.
Oh, and does amazing impressions!
He did art justice...incredibly scary. He's a great horror actor.
I think so too! Thanks for watching :)
Jason Lewis agreed!!
Met this guy shortly after seeing the movie. He was so sweet and when he told me a sequel was confirmed I was so happy.
Thornton is the best horror character since Robert Englund.
Awh I hope he sees this comment. He really is amazing

I would agree with this. Art is a next-up to Freddy Krueger.
FACTS!!!! 💯💯💯
He is really pleasant person for someone who plays one of the most disturbed characters ever written
So were Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer
@@HABO2210 can you explain to me who are the people you mentioned? I've actually never heard about them before
@@katsukibakugo4053 serial killers
@@HABO2210 "most disturbing characters ever written" those are real people, Art is a fictional character whos written

Art is one of the best horror movie characters ever.
It’s true!!
Agree and I'm a huge horror fan since age 9 lol
You would never guess he was Art the Clown. Total transformation when the paint goes on to the mannerisms he does. Cult classic already
WHAT, NO...this guy is too nice and yet Art gives me nightmares! (And I'm not usually scared of Clown but holy shit...)
Haha truly terrifying
Maybe it's because i love clowns that i wasn't scared...I really enjoyed his miming and his bloody teeth. Only one thing actually popped out and surprised me, but that vagina cut made me grab myself *ouch*

part 2 will be out this year
This is TOO damn cool Felicia!
I know!! I was kind of freaking out. He's amazing.
David’s outtakes and behind the scenes are just hilarious he single handedly made terrifier worth it
He deserves the interviews. Ive watched terrifer 3 times already on netflix. Would never believe this is the same guy. He really outdone himself.
Right?? When I met him I was like wow what a nice guy’ haha
I watched Terrifier last night. I’ve looked for an interview with this guy to assure myself he’s actually a decent guy in real life and I can sleep better tonight.
Haha same with me
Samesies 😂😂😂😂
He seems like such a sweet, down to earth person. So weird how the nicest people play evil characters so well!
Just to recover from the trauma, I love to see the interviews of the actors or the behind the set /making of the movie , to put everything right with the world..
I love how actors and actresses who play the most psycho horror villains are actually the sweetest people in real life
Would love to hear him speak with the full costume and makeup lol
That’d be so fun lol
there was a footage with him on his bike in the costume singing lmao
This guy played the most terrifying character I have ever seen in any horror film ever. He scared the crap out of me playing Art the clown.
I love seeing super down to earth people that play the most terrifying characters. Like Bill Skarsgard, he was always making sure the kids were okay on the set of IT after he filmed scary scenes with them.
He’s def a down to earth guy. Thanks for watching!
He seems like a real cool guy. His acting as Art the clown is amazing, very scary. I wish the best for this talented actor. 😀👍
Me too!! He’s so great
Who the hell disliked this? This movie, and art as a character have immediately worked their way to my top 5 list. Hellraiser is always number one.
Lolz just a hater
Timothy Sawyer-Garza it’s easy to forget (at least for me) how innovative Hellraiser was at the time it was released. Phenomenal!
Possibly the greatest horror icon after Michael Myers.
Art and Michael Myers are the only two horror movie killers that legitimately scared me.
@@misanthropicisolation4013 art yes but Myers ? Freddy is way scarry to me
@@ИванИванов-р8ь8ч i agree, but right after Freddy it's gotta be Pinhead, Voorhees and Myers!

What separates Art from other horror antagonists is; he gets the job done.
he still moves his head and laughs like him lol. he is a sweet guy but damm if i was in the movie i would still be scred cause its a whole new wardrobe
David Howard Thornton is just such a cool guy!!! One of the kindest guys, so sweet to his fans. Great all around dude.
He seems so friendly! I'm so excited for Terrifier 2 to come out!
This reminds me of THE BAD SEED. Kid was so terrifying at the end they introduce cast as if it's an episode of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER.

Haha true. That was a good episode btw “the gang gets gun fever”
he was absolutely amazing in this movie. his character scares the hell out of me.
Hell yeah! Me too
Art is a hell of a nice guy when he isn't killing people
This explains why Art had great comedic timing.
Exactly!
This man is a a terrific actor. I loved Terrifier. He was fantastic.
He really is!
Art the clown is role that made his career in horror noticed and definitely will be remembered
Art is so underrated as far as iconic horror killers go...hopefully with time he solidifies himself as one of the legends..it’ll happen
It’s happening!
I think Terrifier 2 catapulted him into the forefront of body horror - no doubt.
Really glad I could stop the movie halfway through to see Art speaking and without makeup! Just to reassure myself, y'know!
Haha I love it
Is somewhat tranquilizing to hear him talk, when he's Art the clown and all quiet it's scary 🤣😱
He is so underrated!!! His redemption of Art the clown scared the fuck out of me and was impeccable!
ha. ha. ha. ha... please don't kill me.
lol same
He's so adorable
Love the guy so much, he has a superior talent and has the face to fit most characters. Awesome David, you deserve so much credit

David played such a wonderful role. I would absolutely love to see him in more roles like this. Just awesome!!!

Rewatching this interview in anticipation for Terrifier 2 😍 can’t wait to see it! Brilliantly conducted interview and what a cool dude!
I have quickly become obsessed with him and the movie . I have watched it 4 times now

Great interview! He is such a cool guy
Silence is golden ❤
One of my favorite horror movies in the past years. Surprised me a lot. Thanks for the interview with him! :)
I'm so excited to see more films with Art :)
Me too!! I’m sure they are coming.
Felicia Lobo // GirlyGore for sure art the clown alive and also victoria becomes evil terrifier 2 coming soon hopefully

WOO-HOO!
The first time I watched this movie , I said this is like Mr.bean if he was an immortal clown demon. So this makes sense. Great interview.
Funny enough when Dave got the role that’s how he imagined himself playing Art, an “Evil Mr. Bean”
I am terribly excited for the second movie, cant wait for a little backstory on Art himself
Omg I LOVE HIM 😍♥️
Me too! He was so great to talk to
Thanks for watching!!
Art The Clown carries himself with such demented intensity not seen since Michael Myers in Halloween!
I agree!
It makes so much sense that he has a background in comedy...this is the first time a horror movie made me laugh (in a very uncomfortable way but a laugh nonetheless) other horror movies that have made me laugh are it 2 (specifically the naked grandma scene) and tusk
LOVE tusk
I'm 30 years old and huge horror fan. That's the only movie that's ever creeped me out. He did an amazing job as art
He’s scary AF!!
I just watched the movie last night, my new favorite gore film
Nice! I’m excited for terrifier 2!
Yeah same here!
Global Outcast shits amazing
Its more of a slasher tbh
Watch 100 tears it's another gory killer clown movie
Girl I would have been geeking so hard!!!
Haha I tried my best to play it cool!
I was NOT expecting him to look so normal LMAO
That makes total sense Mr.Bean + Freddy Kreuger = Art the clown 😄
The icon
Art is definitely my fave coz he was so funny yet so disturbingly sick!
Who'd have thought that Mr. Bean would influence a homicidal clown that saws women in half?!
It’s true!

Its really cool how you can recognize the facial expressions lmao
He is perfect for the role it needed a comedy person to play Art

How did such a nice guy get the job of the most despicable freak I've seen though? 😳 He did such an AMAZING job though!!! 😀
David is becoming the Robert Englund of his generation. Amazing performance in both 1 and 2
4 year old video….im here 4 years later well done terrifier team
He's brilliant! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like the fact that if Art had spoken in the movie, he would have this much of a soothing voice lol
Haha that’s a good point!
I see through this guy he’s legit socio/psycho pathic not even just as art either.
I think you’re overreacting
Just watched Terrifier 2 in theater. He killed it!
Art is my favorite killer clown.
ART THE CLOWN!!!! I'm always been a huge horror movie fan but I found the king when I was introduced to ART. HAil ART the clown
