The filmmakers used what was already available to them
Scenario
After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to the timid town of Miles County where he targets a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.. Scenes shot in the "Terrifier" haunted house were filmed in a real haunted house called Fright Factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Art’s favorite acid is fluoroantimonic acid, which he has in a clear glass bottle. It is a superacid capable of dissolving even glass..
Art the Clown:
There is a mid-credits scene at a psychiatric hospital featuring Chris Jericho as security guard Alan Burke and Leah Voysey as the nurse .. The German DVD and Blu-ray releases by Tiberius Film is cut by approx. three minutes to secure a "Not under 18" rating (this was necessary since the guidelines for video releases are more strict than for theatrical releases). Basically every violent scene was trimmed to tone down the violence.
Edited from Terrifier (2016)
The 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray Mediabook releases by Nameless Media are completely uncut and were given a light SPIO/JK approval.. The Equaliser (Not Alone)Written by Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle (as Jamison Tyler Lyle)Performed by The MidnightCourtesy of BMG Platinum Songs U.S. (BMI). So I went into this hoping it would be the same format as the first.
What happened was not that
Psycho clown meets some strangers and for 90 minutes he takes them out in gruesome fashion. Don’t get me wrong, the brutality was cranked up to 11 and they made it a little funnier. But there were some really stretched out scenes. And I figured they did to establish a plot and a story worth watching.
But by the time the credits rolled no questions were answered, no plot resolved
They even set up plot devices that at 1st seemed this was gonna be 1 helluva sequel. This is so disappointing, I really could go on about it, but why bother.
