The filmmakers used what they already had available
Scenario
After being resurrected by a sinister creature, Art the Clown returns to the mundane town of Miles County, where he targets a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night. Scenes depicted in “Terrifier”; haunted house was filmed at a real haunted house called the Fright Factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Art’s favorite acid is fluoroantimonic acid, which he has in a clear glass bottle. It’s a super acid that can dissolve even glass..
Art the Clown:
There’s an average scene in a mental hospital with Chris Jericho as guard Alan Burke and Leah Voysey as nurse .. German DVDs by Tiberius Film and Blu-ray releases are cut approx. three minutes to verify "Not under 18" rating (this was necessary because guidelines for video releases are stricter than theatrical releases). Basically every violent scene was cut to tone down the violence.
Adapted from Terrifier (2016)
Nameless Media’s 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray Mediabook releases are completely uncut and lightly SPIO/JK certified. The Equalizer (Not Alone) Written by Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle (Jamison as Tyler Lyle) Performed by The MidnightCourtesy of BMG Platinum Songs U.S. (BMI). A bloody mess and a decent story, if you’re into slasher horror, this is right up your alley.
Writing requires work and a lot of it
Adult authority figures are irrational and overreact, while children don’t blink, it’s clumsy and unrealistic. The secondary character dialogue is also awkward and didn’t seem to get much attention after the first draft. The art is heartless and insidious, showing more personality this time around, while also becoming a horror icon as the dumbest killer who clearly enjoys what he’s doing. The gory effects are great, and hopefully with the success of Terrifier 2, the third one will bring a bigger budget for high quality actors and writers.
