Summary

Tori fangirls out as she sits down with David Howard Thornton, the actor behind Terrifier’s infamous Art the Clown. David opens up about Art’s surprising sexuality, the prank war he has with the actor who played Jason Voorhees, and becomes the first guest Tori has ever asked to “eat” her.

In a shocking confession, Tori admits she finds the blood-soaked villain attractive. And, this horrifically sexy killer clown tells us the lowdown on the soon to be filmed Terrifier 4!
