The 10 Most Unspeakable Horror Movie Clown Behaviors, Ranked by Extreme Cruelty

As a longtime horror fan, I can’t think of a villain that has knocked me out of the park as fiercely as Horror movies “Clown Art”, and I can’t remember a single one upcoming horror movies this will change that. Not because I’m afraid at all creepy movies with clowns — at least I didn’t do it to – but because actor David Howard Thorton’s terrifying Harlequin immortalized some of the most shockingly brutal and relentlessly grotesque murder scenes I’ve ever seen on film. slasher or otherwise.

The latest horror sequel from franchise creator Damien Leone Horror 3 the worst part is read our review here — the question arises whether there will be a 2024 Christmas horror movie really offers modern horror movie villainthe best (or rather, worst) job at the moment. When revisiting these new classic horror filmsI think I’ve compiled the definitive ranked list of the most brutal and outrageously bloody crimes committed by Art the Clown, in ascending order.

10. Art turns Steve’s head into a jack-o’-lantern (Horror)

Sometimes just seeing the consequences of Art the Clown’s order is as effective as witnessing the carnage itself, such as the killer’s first kill in the original. Horror since 2016. While we never actually see him decapitate pizzeria owner Steve (Gino Cafarelli), carve that darkly grinning face onto his own head, or insert lit candles into his eviscerated orifices, the result is nonetheless memorably grotesque.

9. Art Decapitates Ricky (Horror 2)

Horror 2 as of 2022, however, it doesn’t hold back from showing Art the Clown tearing someone’s head off in a particularly messy manner, which is how a nice costume store employee named Ricky (Jonath Davis) meets a bitter end. Art begins by smashing a glass bottle over his head, and then plunges the jagged remains of the bottle into his eye socket, cutting through his skull and finishing him off, tearing his head off completely. It’s clear from the way his mouth moves and grunts loudly that he feels the whole blast.

8. Art beheads the will (Horror)

I truly believe that the most intense decapitation of the franchise occurs at the very beginning. Horror when Art the Clown sneaks up on exterminator Will (Michael Leavy) and, without warning, stabs the dude in the top of his skull, sending him into a catatonic state. Art’s other hand then works its way across the neck, but stops halfway to bend Will’s head back and let the blood rush out before tearing the rest away from his shoulders with his bare hands.

7. Art sprays Santa with liquid nitrogen (Horror 3)

box office success Horror 3 proved that the clown Art murderous operandi is not limited to traditional weapons based on the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze a fake Santa Claus (often Rob Zombie movie star Daniel Roebuck) from the neck down after tying him to a chair. If that wasn’t painful enough, he then smacks the not-so-fun St. Nick’s wrists and kneecaps to the bone, likely earning himself the number one spot on the rankings. real Santa’s Naughty List.

6. Art Hacks Jennifer Limb by Limb (Horror 3)

Early reports of spectators come out Horror 3 During the first scene, it’s no surprise to see what Art the Clown does to Christy Fox’s Jennifer. The gruesome aftermath of her son’s off-screen death and her husband’s loss of his head is hard enough to bear, but the camera trained on Art essentially turns this innocent mother into Monty Python and the Holy GrailBlack knight? It’s cold-blooded.

5. Art melted Brooke’s face… and more (Horror 2)

IN Horror 2Sienna Show Lauren LaVera (one of the most resourceful horror movie characters in recent flashbacks) deeply unsettlingly loses his friends to Art the Clown, including Brooke (Kaylee Hyman). After cornering her in a theme park bathroom, he pours acid in her face and knocks her onto her back with a table leg rigged with various sharp objects, which he then uses to beat her kneecap to a pulp before ripping out her still-beating heart. . split open the chest and take a huge bite out of it. And that’s not even the worst murder we’ll get to in the sequel.

4. Art hacksaws: Dawn in half (Horror)

Easy to cement Horror as the shock holiday of all time and earned Art the Clown a place among main villains of horror films This was the most horrifying sequence of the original film: the cutting of Dawn in half. Tied to a chair, Tara (Jenna Kanell) is forced to watch as the killer rips off the sheet, revealing her best friend (Catherine Corcoran) hanging at her feet, almost completely naked. As the sight turns surreal, Art swings a dirty hacksaw and cuts Dawn between her legs and most of her head.

3. Art feeds Jess Rats (Horror 3)

A Horror 3 moment that will haunt CinemaBlend’s Nick Venable long after witnessing it, it involves Sienna’s Aunt Jess (Margaret Ann Florence), a litter of rats and a blowtorch. Only Art the Clown knew how to combine these elements into such a disgusting atrocity, and he did it by stuffing a plastic tube down his throat, placing rodents in the tube, forcing them to the bottom, lighting a blow torch inside, and cutting her neck so the rats would come out. . Jess was skeptical of her niece’s warning about Art’s return, but at that moment she certainly had no doubts.

2. Art chainsaw Cole in half (Horror 3)

If only Damien Leone would calm down the studio asks to soften the sound Horror 3bloodwe never would have gotten the moment that not only blows Dawn’s death out of the water, but also the rivals’ Psycho for the most intense shower scene in cinema. On the other hand, Cole (Mason Mecartea) is already out of the shower and crawling across the porcelain floor with half of one leg missing when Art the Clown takes a chainsaw to his crotch and cuts his way through the rest of his body until he is completely split in two parts. Art tops it off by gleefully creating a “snow angel” from the blood of a college student. This guy is wrong.

1. Art tortures Ellie (Horror 2)

To really make readers understand my choice to commit the most incredibly barbaric and shamelessly vulgar murder in all of history. Horror For now, I think it’s best to take things step by step. IN Horror 2Art the Clown breaks into the house of Sienna’s friend Ellie (Casey Hartnett) and chases her into the bedroom, where he cuts her left eye, rips off her scalp with scissors, cuts out a piece of her back, breaks her left arm, rips off the broken part and rips her other arm in half.

He then scalps her several times and douses her in bleach and salt (which he also takes time to vigorously rub into her back) before ripping off half of her face. When her mother (Amy Russ) comes home to find Art cutting the skin off her legs, she weakly calls out to her, revealing that after all the carnage SHE IS STILL ALIVE! By this point you’ll be praying for death, but this moment assures us that this clown doesn’t have a bone of mercy in his body.

If, for some ungodly reason, you still don’t find any of these scenes gory enough, there are others. films like Horror which can bring you bloody fruits like Damien Leone’s 2013 film. favorite horror anthology film, All Hallows’ EveThis is the first full-length film featuring Art the Clown. Now that Horror 4 was confirmed according to DiversityI can only imagine how this sadistic killer is going to up the ante.
