All Hallow's Eve

"Despite being known as Terrifier: The Beginning in some countries, All Hallow's Eve is not a film that explains the origins of the sinister Art the Clown, the protagonist of the Terrifier saga, nor is it narratively linked to it. Originally titled with the old name for what we now know as Halloween, it is, in fact, a compilation of director Damien Leone's first three shorts, two of which introduced the character. There isn't much connective tissue between them either: Leone uses the plot of a babysitter in charge of two siblings on Halloween night as a pretext to introduce a video tape that contains the three stories, although it doesn't feel very coherent (the second short, in particular, has no place here). However, particularly in the third, Leone showcases the visual brutality that will characterize his eventual Terrifier feature films. It's a very low-budget production, but if you're a fan of the saga or enjoy horror films with killer clowns, this might be for you."
