Art has a long history in short and feature films.
Damien Leone's Terrifier franchise has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years thanks to its iconic central villain, Art the Clown. Thus far, there have been three movies in the Terrifier franchise, each more creatively depraved and gory than the last. The franchise's initial spike in popularity can be attributed to the viral nature of Terrifier 2, which was so gruesome that audience members literally got sick.
In The 9th Circle, Art acts as an emissary of Satan, and follows him in his eerie pursuit and subsequent capture of a young woman in a train station. Art's true intentions are revealed when he stabs the young woman with a sedative so that she can be carried off as a sacrifice to a Satanic cult. As a short film in which Art is a mere side character who shows none of his now-famous charisma and sadism, The 9th Circle ranks last.
Before being played by David Howard Thornton in the Terrifier franchise, Art the Clown was portrayed by Mike Giannelli before he retired from acting. Terrifier takes the character that Damien Leone first fleshed out in the 2011 short film and perfects him. Leone correctly noted during Art's conception that the 2010s didn't really have an iconic slasher as previous decades did. He intended to create something that could stand the test of time alongside horror icons like Michael Myers, Jason, Chucky, Freddy Krueger, and Ghostface.
