Terrifier 4 may end a franchise tradition that has made the first three films in the horror series extra entertaining. Art the Clown has quickly become one of the most vicious serial killers in the slasher genre, but his killing sprees seem to be a bit less random than other iconic horror movie villains. Art has proven that he is a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to bring an end to his unlucky victims. He’s not even afraid to use a gun, which is a weapon that other slasher villains, such as Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees, would never touch.
