After “Schrecken 2” had become a surprise hit in 2022, the Saga clown returned the murderous silent Harlekin art to make more bloody in 2024 “Horror 3”, one of the worst horror films that have ever been made. Regardless of whether you had the stomach to watch in this latest episode of Art’s Ehring Tilling Spree or not, you have to give it to the franchise creator Damien Leone to exceed the complete spoiling of his earlier efforts.
The director had a precedent with the first film in the series, “horror” in 2016, in which he did everything to advertise the fact that his splatter festival was not a typical Hollywood slasher. Heck, art sawed a woman in two halves from the pelvic region to the head in this film. But somehow every subsequent entry in the saga has managed to increase the level of violence, and the fans are surprised how the barbarism of the latest Threquel with its upcoming “horror 4.” will surpass.
After “Horror 3” it absolutely killed it on the box officeA follow-up was guaranteed, and it seems that the upcoming fourth episode could be the last. In October 2024 Leone spoke to diversityAnd told the outlet that he couldn’t see the franchise “further than one or two more films”. We still had no official confirmation as to whether the fourth film will actually be the last “terrority”, but a new Instagram post by Leone seems to indicate that this will be the case. In addition, the director has revealed that his script for “horror 4” will finally reveal the original history of Art the Clown, which has so far remained a mystery when he committed his viscera.
The origin of art will soon be revealed
When “horror” debuted in 2016, it was hardly more than an excuse for Damien Leone’s scary clown character to withdraw gore from a parade of victims. When “terrority 2” debuted, it gave a tradition to the plot, with the protagonist Sienna (Lauren Lavera) being connected to the art of the clown in mysterious, cosmic way. The magical sword of the teenager, who belonged to her late father, seems to be the only weapon that is able to switch off art that is otherwise invincible. “Territorial 3” also confirmed that the killing ambays of art help demons from another kingdom and the host of the host owners “Terrority 3”, which otherwise left many questions unanswered.
At the end of this film, which had been thwarted by Sienna, art is waiting for a bus and looks like he may be over his entire slaughter of innocent people. But one last threatening horn of his toy horn indicates that there is a lot of murderous energy in Harlekin. At the end of the triad, however, the audience is not smarter with regard to the actual origins of art.
Now Leone has posted on Instagram, where he revealed that he works for “horror 4” on the script and that it will not only serve as a conclusion for the saga, but will finally reveal the origin of the art of the clown.
After thanking the users about their birthday wishes, Leone confirmed that he is in the middle of the letter of the script for “horror 4” and promised that it will be the “most epic, most terrible, exciting, emotional and satisfactory conclusion for the ‘terror Saga”. However, even more fascinating is his promise to “finally reveal the origin of art in this entry”.
Who is the art of the clown?
Art, the clown actually appeared for the first time as a supportive figure in Damien Leone’s short film “The 9th Circle”. At first only one of many terrible beasts that Leone’s horror shorter populated, Art 2011 returned for the short film “Scheuchter” before making his debut for the feature film in “All Hallows’ Eva” in 2013. In all of these cases, art seemed to be a guy with a preference for the implementation of terrible murders, and the role was played by a friend of Leones, Mike Giannelli. But Art, the clown has been redesigned for the first official “terror” film in 2016 David Howard Thornton wins the role of an evil part of improvisation during his audition. Since then, Thornton has portrayed the figure in all three “terrifying” films and has transformed art into an burgeoning horror icon.
But at no time on this long journey on the screen we learned the true origin of the art of the clown. We only know that he has supernatural skills, never speaks, has a twisted sense of humor and is apparently invincible. What we do not know is whether Leone imagined the character as another demon who managed to force himself through a portal to earth or whether it was a person who was observed. Perhaps he was only a normal type who lost his mind and carried out terrible killing vines and caused demonic forces to protect himself on him. Whatever may be the case, we will finally discover the truth when “horror 4” debut.
So far there is no official publication date for the film, but there is certain that there will be some great announcements in the next few months.
