Happy Halloween, All You Ghouls and Boils

Jenna Kanell as Tara and David Howard Thornton as Art the Clown, clowning around on the set of Damian Leone’s Terrifier (2016). I went to a jam-packed horror convention last year around this time and the place was positively crawling with Art the Clown cosplayers.
