Art the Clown Star ‘Almost Vomited’ Filming a Terrifier 3 Scene: Deets Here
Terrifier star David Howard Thornton reveals a scene in the new film nearly made him vomit, amusing the cast. The October release promises more intense gore from Art the Clown.
A new Terrifier movie is coming to theaters in October, continuing the story of Art the Clown, but the franchise is known for its gore, and star David Howard Thornton (the clown himself) admits there is one scene in the new film that almost made him vomit. Even Thornton admitted to Empire that there was something he struggled with during the scene, though everyone else thought his reaction was hilarious.
He said he had a hard time handling a particular moment during filming. He didn't say exactly what it was, but he said it almost made him vomit. He said, "I don't want to say what it was, but I almost vomited. Of course, everybody thought it was hysterical that I was having that reaction." People around him were amused, some even feeling triumphant that they finally got such a reaction from him.
Thornton also hinted at a sequence in the film that he believes will be highly controversial. The depravity of the scene might shock audiences, he said, noting that people will likely be shocked by what happens. Even though the scene is intense, Thornton mentioned that he likes the gore, calling it "cartoon violence." He enjoys experimenting with elements that have never been seen before.
