Horror (2016)
The first full-length adventure in contemporary art
Before Horror the franchise began breaking records with Horror 3The original film of the series laid the groundwork for Art the Clown and his decades-long reign of terror in Miles County. 2016 Horror is a stripped-down story that pits a pair of young women enjoying Halloween night against the version of Art the Clown that audiences around the world now know. Horror shows Art with all his trademark menace and a lot of his silent comedy antics, as well as a lot of blood in a tight time frame.
Art the Clown’s cartoonish demeanor, pale face and complete silence create something truly unique and terrifying.
Horror takes the character Damien Leone first introduced in the 2011 short film and improves on him. Leone correctly noted during Art’s conception that the 2010s didn’t have the same iconic slasher flicks as previous decades.. He set out to create something that could stand the test of time alongside horror icons such as Michael Myers, Jason, Chucky, Freddy Krueger and Ghostface. Horror presented just such a character: Art’s cartoonish demeanor, pale face and complete silence combine to create something truly unique and terrifying.
Horror also introduces the character Victoria Hayesplayed by Samantha Scaffidi, who later becomes a major player Horror franchise. Horror makes it clear that Art the Clown is more than a simple slasher film; he takes pleasure in committing gruesome and painful murders. The saw murder and Art eating most of Victoria’s face at the end of the film prove that Art is something much more sinister than the typical slasher film, and his resurrection proves that he is driven by a much more nefarious force.

Horror 3 (2024)
Art and Vicky unleash a Christmas reign of terror
After viral success Horror 2Damien Leone was tasked with upping the ante both in terms of plot and bloodshed. Follow up Horror 2The controversial bedroom scene wasn’t an easy task, but Leone managed to at least come close to matching the level of depravity Horror 3. In the third chapter of the book Horror franchise, Art returned after a five-year wait (literally) to exact Christmas revenge on Lauren LaVera’s Sienna Shaw, her brother Jonathan, and other innocent residents of Miles County.
Horror 3 full of memorable kills; The two most notable of these are his visit to Santa Claus and his homage to Norman Bates in the shower. However, what does Horror 3 stand out from other entries in the topic list like this opens the franchise into a new world of nightmarish possibilities. Vicky features prominently in Horror 3 as Harley Quinn as Art’s Joker, and her possession by some demonic entity proves just how strong the forces are against Sienna Shaw.

Horror 2 (2022)
The battle between art and the Sienna Show begins
Horror 2 is still the best movie Art the Clown has ever appeared in because how perfectly he built the world around himself. A psychopathic, immortal killer clown, especially one as charismatic as Art, is sure to whet the appetite of horror fans, but it’s the story and cast of characters that are presented in Horror 2 it took art to a new level. Art gained allies in Pale Girl and Vicky to help him complete his evil mission, and he broke new ground in sadism and depravity.
More importantly, Horror 2 introduced the Sienna Show to Lauren LaVera. Every great villain needs an archenemy, and Sienna belongs to Art, the perfect benevolent reflection of his evil. Horror 2 introduces the story of Sienna’s father and her angel warrior costume, and features a climax that elevates her character into something supernatural to counter Art. She is killed by Art and is able to return from his personal corner of hell (the Clown Cafe), indicating that she may be immortal like him.
Horror 2 tops the list because this is the most complete film Art has ever starred in. It contains some of the most terrifying scenes Horror franchise and features not only a clearly defined heroine that audiences can rally behind, but also an exciting game of cat and mouse between Art and Sienna. The action builds to a suitably bloody and absolutely stunning climax in which Sienna avenges the friends and loved ones Art killed, but leaves the door wide open for more.
