Talk Is Jericho: Terrifier 2’s Art The Clown

Listen to the full episode at Art The Clown is back in “Terrifier 2,” and writer/director Damien Leone has all kinds of gory-ass stories about the creepy, silent, evil clown who loves to torture his victims to death (which may include one Adam Burke, aka Chris Jericho). Damien shares the inspiration for Art The Clown, the role that “Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors” played in the sequel, and what he took from Ripley in the “Alien” movies and gave to his own final girl, Sienna Shaw. He talks about creating and building the special effects used in the film, designing and applying the makeup effects himself, and what it was like to spend 2 days shooting with fans who contributed to the Indiegogo fundraising campaign. He speaks to writing and filming during the pandemic, the film’s 2-hour plus run time, and one-upping the kill scenes from the first “Terrifier” movie. Plus, Damien shares stories from Chris’ one night on set and having to rethink and reshoot the ending of the film after another movie beat him to the screen with the exact same idea! See “Terrifier 2” in a theater near you this weekend (October 6th-9th) only!
