He is a demonic clown with mime-like qualities who appears on Halloween nights to wreak havoc and torture others. After being ressurected by "The Little Pale Girl", Art became immortal and invulnerable. The character appears in many of director Damien Leone's works, originating in the short film The 9th Circle before taking on a more prominent role in feature horror films
He is also the archenemy of Sienna Shaw and Victoria Heyes
In All Hallows' Eve, he was portrayed by Mike Giannelli, (who also played the demonic figure in The 9th Circle). He is later portrayed by David Howard Thornton in Terrifier, Terrifier 2, and Terrifier 3, who also played the title character in The Mean One and Screamboat Willie in Screamboat
Appearance
Art the Clown dons the appearance of a clown dressed in black and white costume. He is often shown carrying a black trash bag, in which he keeps his various crude weapons. His face is painted pale white, while his eyes, mouth, and (fake) eyebrows are painted black. He wears a white bald cap on his head, complete with a small black hat strapped on top. It is revealed in Terrifier that Art has a normal Caucasian skin tone, along with shaved eyebrows. He is depicted as being somewhat tall and having a thin build
Art's appearance changes drastically throughout the short films that are shown in All Hallows' Eve. In the first short VHS film, he has the appearance of a human clown. In the second and third short VHS films, his appearance has become more unsettling, with him having filthy, rotting teeth, an abnormally shaped head, deeply sunken cheeks, and an elongated, crooked nose that comes to an unnaturally sharp point (although this may be due to the usage of prosthetic facial features and makeup). Art dons this same appearance in the film Terrifier
