While there are theories that Art is Sienna's dad, there is also evidence that suggests they are not the same person and that Art has connections and backstory separate from the Shaw family. Terrifier 3 may provide more answers regarding Sienna's dad's role in the franchise.
In a mid-credits scene, an institutionalized Victoria is throwing up before writing "Vicky + Art" and obscenities on the wall with her blood. She gives birth to Art's living head, leaving a horrified nurse screaming.
Sienna begins having bizarre encounters with Art—both in her dreams and in real life. After engaging in a battle with Art to defend her brother, Art kills her with her father's sword before it resurrects her, and she decapitates him.
Even after three movies, Art's origins are still unknown. A new theory in Art's backstory suggests he may have once been a doctor or at least spent time in medical school, given his sick fascination with human anatomy.
Leone left many questions unanswered by the end of the second movie but the upcoming Terrifier 3 will provide the answers. This may include confirmation that Art the Clown was a regular old human in Terrifier, but his resurrection in the finale marked what Thornton dubbed his demonic "transition."
What is Art the Clown's Origin? (He's Not Sienna's Dad)
Is the Terrifier her dad?
While there are theories that Art is Sienna's dad, there is also evidence that suggests they are not the same person and that Art has connections and backstory separate from the Shaw family. Terrifier 3 may provide more answers regarding Sienna's dad's role in the franchise.
As for why Art the Clown chooses to remain silent, this character trait is both a dramatic choice and an approach that speaks to his status as more of a mime than a clown. Given that mime's communicate through gesture rather than speech,...
Some details help clear things up, though. First of all, when Art is resurrected, he's still missing an eye and part of his skull, a side effect of his suicide. However, one year later, at Halloween, Art is fully healed.
Within the first two minutes, it's clear this movie isn't based in reality, so I was hoping that would make the violence a little more palatable and accessible.
Art the Clown is the main antagonist of the Terrifier franchise. He is an extremely sadistic and demonic killer mime who appears on Halloween nights to wreak havoc.
Sienna and Jonathan steal Art's weapons and kill him repeatedly. It's a long-drawn-out fight in which both parties suffer mortal wounds. Finally, Art stabs Sienna with her father's sword, traps in a water torture cell, and leaves her to die. The sword inexplicably resurrects Sienna, allowing her to free herself.
Art the Clown will return in Terrifier 3, played once again by David Howard Thornton (The Mean One, Gotham). Lauren LaVera (The Well, Not For Nothing) is confirmed to return as Sienna (via Bloody Disgusting), and Elliot Fullam will also return as Jonathan.
Sienna and Jonathan's father dies one year before the events of Terrifier 2, likely right before the events of the first film. He had terminal brain cancer, which drove him to ram his car into a power substation (or something), killing him.
The film features a clown by the name of Art the Clown, brilliantly played by David Howard Thornton. Art the Clown is a demonic entity donning mime-like clothes and face paint, and always smiling to show his filthy teeth.
Art the Clown is not immortal in the sense that he can't die. While he is hard to kill, Art has been effectively killed in both Terrifier movies. However, it seems the creepily silent Art the Clown has an ability similar to The Umbrella Academy's Klaus, where he is able to resurrect himself by unknown means.
The controversy around Terrifier 2 stems from the extreme level of violence and sadism depicted in the bedroom scene, with reports of viewers fainting and vomiting.
The gore scenes are so dramatic for no real reason. Its almost like watching a parody of a horror movie except it goes on for too long. The plot makes absolutely NO sense, the acting is horrible, and there is literally no coherent plot. It was an actual job just to finish this movie and could not wait for it to end.
Why Are Viewers Getting Sick While Watching Terrifier 2? Terrifier 2 features a particular scene where Art mutilated one of his victims in what is now referred to as the infamous "bedroom scene." The scene's graphic nature and explicit depiction of torture are not for the faint of heart.
Trivia. Victoria was the only character to survive Art's rampage from the first film. It is possible that her disfigurement was done deliberately by Art as a way to make her one of his followers, and to resurrect himself after he was killed by Sienna.
As for why Art the Clown chooses to remain silent, this character trait is both a dramatic choice and an approach that speaks to his status as more of a mime than a clown. Given that mime's communicate through gesture rather than speech, making Art silent makes total sense, as well as enhancing his sinister presence.
The links between Sienna, Art, and her deceased father are obvious and overt, so these theories aren't based on wishful thinking or dot-connecting mental gymnastics. If the big reveal in Terrifier 3 is that Sienna is Art's daughter, it's one that many have already seen coming.
Who is the girl with the deformed face in Terrifier?
One of those victims in "Terrifer" was Victoria Heyes (Samantha Scaffidi), the sister of Tara Heyes (Jenna Kanell) who winds up completely deformed by the end of the film. In retrospect, Victoria gets off light seeing as how another character named Dawn suffers a gruesome death at the hands of Art the Clown.
Terrifier 2 gained widespread acclaim and publicity for its use of extreme gore, particularly the infamous bedroom scene. The bedroom scene in Terrifier 2 is one of the most intense and brutal moments in the movie, surpassing films like Saw and Hostel in terms of its shocking violence.
Art the Clown has a significant threshold for pain but also seemingly has a bit of a healing factor. Despite shooting himself in the head in the first Terrifier, those wounds aren't present in the sequel.
