#10: The Interview

Top 10 Scariest Alien Experiment Scenes In Movies

“Terrifier” (2016) In the opening scene of “Terrifier,” a journalist is interviewing one of Art the Clown’s victims on a talk show. The woman’s encounter with Art resulted in her face being maimed to the point where it’s hard for her to go out in public. The scene is unsettling, as the viewer is watching this interview through a small tv with grainy reception in a strange room until a foot wearing what looks to be an oversized clown shoe kicks in the tv for an effective jumpscare. In addition to feeling sorry for the woman with the hideous face while simultaneously feeling creeped out by her looks, all we need is a shot of the viewer putting on a possible clown costume to start sending shivers down our spine.

#9: Art Coming for the Babysitter

“All Hallows’ Eve” (2013) An anthology film, “All Hallows’ Eve” is a collection of three short films, and Art the Clown makes an appearance in all three. For the main story, a babysitter named Sarah comes across a videotape containing the film segments that was found in a kid’s trick-or-treat bag. After Sarah makes the mistake of watching the contents of the videotape all the way through, Art the Clown turns his attention toward her and tries to break through to the other side in order to reach her. Art comes dangerously close behind Sarah, but fortunately, she’s able to make him go away by breaking the tape. Or is she?

#8: A Mother’s Touch

“Terrifier” (2016) In this scene, a mentally ill woman has lost her doll, which she believes to be her baby. Frantically searching for the doll, she finds Art the Clown sitting on the floor, holding the doll. The woman - credited as Cat Lady - pleads with Art to give her back her baby, trying to appeal to Art’s sense of compassion, asking if he’s ever felt a “mother’s touch.” Surprisingly, her method appears to work, as Art gives back the doll and regresses to a childlike state where he sucks his thumb. But we know this won’t end well for the woman...

#7: Waiting for a Train

“All Hallows’ Eve” (2013) This scene from the first segment of “All Hallows’ Eve” marks the first time we see Art interact with someone. A young woman named Casey is sitting alone at a train station when she comes across Art the Clown. As expected, Art is less than considerate, annoying Casey by honking a loud horn and giving her a flower that contains roaches. Eventually, Art grabs Casey and injects her with a syringe that causes her to lose consciousness. Before passing out, she witnesses Art’s glowing eyes, which are a window into Art’s demonic nature.

#6: End Credits

“All Hallows’ Eve” (2013) During the closing credits of “All Hallows’ Eve,” the scene cuts to the boiler room where Art first tried to break out of the tv set. Art appears again, moving toward the screen, while discordant music plays in the background. This suggests Art the Clown is going to break into the real world and terrorize the viewer personally, just like he intended to do with the poor babysitter. The next time you go to sleep, close your eyes and replay this scene in your head. Sweet dreams.

#5: Pizzeria

“Terrifier” (2016) While the two main characters, Dawn and Tara, wait for an order at the pizza shop, Art walks in, making everyone in the restaurant uncomfortable. He sits across the room from the two girls, staring at Tara, who is clearly an object of his affection, and flirts with her by proposing to her with a plastic ring he bought from the restaurant’s toy machine. Tara is made uneasy because she sees the danger that Art potentially poses, while her friend looks like she’s clueless, making things worse by provoking the sinister clown.

#4: Do You Know Where Your Children Are?

“All Hallows’ Eve” (2013) While Sarah is watching the videotape in “All Hallows’ Eve,” she is babysitting two children, whom she’s sent to bed because the first short proved to be too inappropriate for them. After she demolishes the videotape and keeps Art from breaking out to reach her, she hears a scream upstairs. When she goes up to see what’s going on, she finds Art, covered in blood, waiting for her in the hallway. Her worst fears are confirmed when she goes into the bedroom and discovers that Art has killed both children.

#3: The Ending of the Third Segment

“All Hallows’ Eve” (2013) Throughout the third segment of “All Hallows’ Eve,” Art chases a young costume designer who is out on the road late at night. Eventually, he catches up with the woman by causing a car crash that knocks her unconscious. When the costume designer wakes up, she finds herself in a strange room laid up on a table, next to Art, who’s pointing and laughing at her. While she was unconscious, Art mutilated her body. This torture at the hands of Art the Clown undoubtedly makes the unfortunate woman wish he’d killed her earlier on the road.

#2: Selfie

“Terrifier” (2016) During the scene at the pizzeria, one of the ways Dawn pestered Art was by sitting on his lap and taking a selfie with him while he gave a deathly glare. This turns out to be a big mistake on Dawn’s part as Art was not in the mood for this playful interaction. Later on in the movie, after he kills Dawn in a memorably brutal way, Art decides to repay Dawn’s previous action by taking a selfie with her dead body.

#1: Saw

“Terrifier” (2016) In this infamous scene, Art has tied up Tara in a chair and gagged her mouth. Then, he pulls a curtain to reveal that he has kidnapped her friend, Dawn, and has been hanging her upside down for an unknown period of time. Art then begins to slowly hack away at Dawn, who is unable to scream about what’s happening to her because she too is being gagged. Tara has no choice but to watch as her friend is being killed right in front of her. The scene is so intense and graphic that we obviously can’t show it here.
