Terrifier David Howard Thornton Art the Clown

It’s time for a new episode of the WTF Happened to This Horror Celebrity? (formerly known as Where in the Horror Are They Now), and with this one we’re looking at the life and career of a horror celebrity whose star is now on the rise. An actor who may have just recently secured his place as a genre icon. The celebrity in question is David Howard Thornton, who plays the role of Art the Clown in the Terrifier films and also took on the role of a homicidal Grinch in the holiday horror movie The Mean One. To find out all about Thornton, check out the video embedded above, which also features an interview with the actor.

Where in the Horror Are They Now was once an article series here on Arrow in the Head. The concept has been revived as a video series, and WTF Happened to This Horror Celebrity? will be going in depth on the lives and careers of some of our favorite horror talents and also find out where they are now and what they are up to!

The David Howard Thornton episode was Written and Narrated by Jessica Dwyer and Edited by Brandon Nally. It was Produced by John Fallon and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
