David Howard Thornton, who plays Art the Clown in the 'Terrifier' films, reveals his favorite kill in the new threequel. It involves Santa Claus, some liquid nitrogen, and a whole lot of gore.
films aren't for the faint of heart. But for David Howard Thornton, who plays the films' big bad, Art the Clown, the release ofwhich kill from the new film is his favorite, he replied,"Mine is easily the bar scene with Santa Claus." Mid-way through the Christmas-set, Thornton's jubilant psychopath creates a new torture instrument, a tank of liquid nitrogen rigged with a projectile funnel. He successfully tests it on a rat, then heads to a bar to wreak frosty havoc.
"I felt like a Batman villain in that one," Thornton continued. "I love that idea of a freeze gun, especially with him just chipping away at someone's body parts and dismembering them that way. I thought that was really cool."The full kill scene begins with Art hanging at a local bar with some regulars, including a man dressed up in a Santa Claus costume.
Art quickly kills the festive mood by spraying a shot of alcohol in Santa's face and urinating on his lap. The patrons' disgust is enough reason for Art to rain destruction down upon them. He shoots the bartender and a patron, then binds Santa to a chair. It's time for the freeze gun.With excruciating slowness and glee, Art freezes parts of the man's body so that he can shatter them with the blunt end of a pick axe.
When asked about her favorite kill, LaVera picked the one that opens the film, an unusually respectful slaying of a little boy that occurs off camera. "It's all sound design, and it's silent. It disturbed me more than anything I could see, and it was definitely a beautiful example of less is more, and you get more of everything in this film, but it was different from the rest," she said.
