Plot summary

Art the Clown is set to unleash chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.

Trivia

The rat tube scene made Art The Clown actor David Howard Thornton nauseous and he had to prevent himself from throwing up.

The first horror film since Saw III (2006) to receive the "18" rating in France.

Several homages from classic horror movies were in this film including Art's face through the hole in the white door for the Shining.

Outgrossed Terrifier 2 (2022) within its first weekend of release.

The shower scene was leaked on YouTube on October 8, 2024

The window Art is sitting by in the rocking chair is the same shape as the famous Amityville window, also a reference to a body propped up at a window in the original Black Christmas.

Breakdown

After being decapitated by Sienna Shaw, Art the Clown's headless body kills a cop responding to the incident and makes its way to the asylum where survivor Victoria Heyes, now possessed by the Little Pale Girl, has just given birth to his head. They kill a nurse and a guard before fleeing to an abandoned house. Victoria smashes her face into a bathroom mirror, uses a shard of broken glass to slit her wrists, and enters hibernation in a bathtub. Meanwhile, Art sits in a rocking chair in the attic. The two become dormant.

Five years later, Sienna is released from a mental health centre to stay with her aunt, Jess, who lives with her husband, Greg, and their daughter, Gabbie, who idolises Sienna but has no knowledge of the events she endured. Sienna is suffering from survivor guilt and frequently has hallucinations of her deceased best friend Brooke, whose death she feels responsible for. She struggles to reconnect with her younger brother Jonathan, who is now in college trying to move on with his life. Two demolition workers stumble upon Art and Victoria in the house, waking them from their slumber. The duo kills the workers, and Victoria begins working on a costume, while Art ventures off on another killing spree. Art meets a Santa Claus impersonator at a bar, shoots the bartender and another patron, puts on his Santa costume, and murders him using liquid nitrogen and a hammer. Art, dressed as Santa, invades the home of a family and brutally murders them with an axe a few nights before Christmas. Art then impersonates a Santa at a local shopping mall and uses explosives disguised as gifts to slaughter several shoppers, including children. Sienna thinks she sees Art at the mall in disguise before the explosion but does not tell her family since she thinks they would not believe her and is unsure herself if it was simply a hallucination or not.

Sienna visits Jonathan at his university, where she meets Jonathan's roommate Cole and his girlfriend Mia, who hosts a true crime podcast. Mia pressures Sienna and Jonathan to participate in an interview about the Miles County Massacre, but Sienna lashes out. Sienna confesses to Jonathan that she thinks Art is still alive and shows Jonathan the letters he wrote to her while she was in the psychiatric hospital, which state that demons can be reborn through recently deceased evil humans (like Art after he kills himself) and possess hosts whose will was broken by a reborn demon (like Victoria). She also tells Jonathan she plans to return to the Terrifier haunted attraction to retrieve her father's sword. Art arrives at the university and kills Mia and Cole with a chainsaw while they are having sex in the showers. Sienna learns about the mall killings on the news and panics, demanding Jonathan return home from college and warning the family they are not safe. Greg leaves to collect Jonathan while Sienna falls asleep; she dreams about angels crafting the armour in her warrior costume that her father drew for her. She wakes and heads downstairs to find Art, who is now dressed in a clown costume, and he incapacitates her with a mallet.

As Sienna regains consciousness, she sees Greg's decapitated body pinned to the wall, with his head as the star on their Christmas tree, and Jess tied up across from her. Victoria reveals to them that the rats are consuming a skinless head, identifying it as Gabbie's. Art kills Jess by hammering a tube into her mouth, forcing the rats down it with a blowtorch, then slitting her throat. Art suddenly enters with Gabbie as a hostage, and Victoria reveals to Sienna that the head is Jonathan's. Victoria attempts to possess Sienna by placing a crown of thorns on her head, but she resists, her will unbroken. She tricks them into letting her open a "Christmas present" she wrapped, stabbing Victoria with its contents, her father's sword. Sienna decapitates Victoria, who disintegrates. Art uses his chainsaw to attack Sienna, but she manages to overcome him. Victoria's blood burns through the floor and creates a portal to Hell. Gabbie falls in and holds onto the edge. Sienna leaves Art behind to save her, but Gabbie falls into the abyss with the sword. Art flees through a window and escapes on a bus, while Sienna, whose wounds supernaturally heal, vows to find and rescue Gabbie.

Plot summary

Resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to Miles County to terrorize a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.


Trivia

Sienna is in high school, while her actress Lauren LaVera was 25 at the time production started in late 2019.

Lauren LaVera is trained in martial arts, she did most of her own stunts in the movie.

Due to being deemed "too extreme" for UK cinemas, the film got a straight-to-video release in that market instead.

The film later got a theatrical release alongside the original in 2024.

The acid that Art The Clown took from the morgue and later threw was Fluoroantimonic Acid, which is known as a super acid, and is one of the strongest acids in the world. Coming into direct contact with it would likely kill you.

David Howard Thornton, who plays the silent Art The Clown, performed voiceover for the “Art Crispies” cereal commercial during the dream sequence.

Breakdown

After being resurrected by an unknown entity following the Miles County Massacre, Art the Clown murders and severely mutilates the coroner investigating his dead body with a hammer. He goes to the laundromat to clean his blood-soaked garments, where he encounters a little pale girl dressed in similar clown makeup. A lone patron witnesses Art engaging with the girl, who remains invisible to him, before he impales her through the head with a mop handle off-screen.

A year later, Sienna Shaw is finalising her Halloween costume: a warrior princess, a creation of her late father, who succumbed to a brain tumour that triggered bizarre visions. Her brother Jonathan intends to go as Art the Clown. Sienna expresses concern about the situation to their mother, Barbara. That night, Sienna has a dream where she encounters Art in a commercial for a restaurant. He hands everyone candy, except for Sienna, who gets a beating heart in a box with worms and black goo. He then whips out a Tommy gun and shoots everyone in the commercial except for Sienna, who tries to run away. He then torches the remaining guests and the guitarist. Before he catches her in the dream, a fire ignites on her dresser, waking her up and incinerating the wings she had designed for the costume. Among the ashes, her father's sword remains unscathed.

The next day, it is Halloween. Jonathan sees Art and the little girl at school playing with a dead opossum. He runs away and bumps into a teacher, who then finds the opossum and suspends Jonathan, mistakenly believing he is the one who brought the animal into the school. Meanwhile, Sienna goes to the costume shop to find a replacement pair of wings. There, she encounters Art, who playfully antagonises her before she leaves. Art mutilates and then decapitates the shop vendor and later follows Sienna's friend Allie home, where he attacks and viciously mutilates her body, pouring bleach over her and rubbing salt over her wounds. When her mother discovers her body, she runs away screaming and is in turn killed, with her head being used as a prop by Art to serve candy to children, some of whom complain about how sticky the candy is.

Meanwhile, Barbara discovers that Jonathan has been suspended and refuses to let him leave the house for the evening, while Sienna intends to go to a party with her friends. Jonathan calls Barbara a "bitch" and is then slapped by her in return. Jonathan storms off, furious, and appears to vandalise the family car. Barbara tidys up the mess, only to discover Art inside the car, where he sustains a gunshot wound to his face. Jonathan returns home to find his deceased and mutilated mother. Art proceeds to smash mashed potatoes in her unrecognisable face. Art then chases him to the bedroom, where he incapacitates Jonathan with a needle.

At the party, Sienna is unknowingly given molly by her friend Brooke. As the drug reacts to the alcohol and the Xanax she had previously taken, Sienna has a panic attack when she sees the little girl dressed as a clown. Brooke and her boyfriend Jeff are driving Sienna home when she gets a call from Jonathan (whose voice is actually being mimicked by the little girl), saying that he is at an abandoned carnival. There, Sienna investigates the premises, including a haunted house named the Terrifier. Meanwhile, a brutal attack and death await Brooke and Jeff. Sienna finds Brooke's dead body in a dingy bathroom, where she also discovers Art and Jonathan. After failing to kill the seemingly immortal Art several times, Sienna is stabbed in the stomach with her father's sword and seemingly dies, falling into a dream she had earlier in the movie, trapped in a water torture cell.

Art tries to wake up a comatose Jonathan and begins eating him. Sienna, meanwhile, is resurrected by the sword and decapitates Art using the same weapon. He appears dead, and the ghostly little girl takes his head and leaves. Sienna and Jonathan embrace.

In a post-credits scene, an institutionalised Victoria, the mutilated sole survivor of the first movie, goes into labour, writing swear words in
