Demonic black and white clown Art has become a cult horror icon in the last few years, but the clown from Terrifier debuted in the 2008 short The 9th Circle. Despite clowns being designed as lighthearted figures of fun for small children and families, they can often inspire fear and unease. Filmmakers and novelists have been quick to capitalize on this, with one of Stephen King's most popular villains being IT's Pennywise the Dancing Clown, while everything from Batman villain The Joker to 2014 creature feature Clown have used clowns as figures of terror. Art the clown from Terrifier 2 and Teriffier feels to some like the newest killer circus performer on the horror block. However, Art the clown has been around much longer than many fans of his antics realize.
Bob Clark's 1974 horror film Black Christmas is one of the most influential slasher movies of all time, and it has an unforgettably chilling ending. In Black Christmas Billy is considered the villain as he picks off victims one by one, and after almost 50 years, his identity is still debated. The story takes place in a sorority house, where the residents are throwing a Christmas party before they depart. Little do they know, however, that a perverted killer has made his way into the house, and is preparing to pick them off one by one. The Billy Black Christmas character remains in the shadows for most of the movie, that is, until the chilling ending.
