All Hallow's Eve: Inferno Wasn't Able to Include the Return of Art the Clown

Given the success of Terrifier, many fans were wondering if Art the Clown would appear in the newest All Hallow's Eve title, All Hallow's Eve: Inferno. Which, unfortunately, didn't happen. Now, in a recent interview with Screen Rant, All Hallow's Eve: Inferno producer Steve Barto revealed the reasons for Art's absence. "Damien Leone] is so busy doing what he does, it would have been impossible, and I am so happy for them," he explained. "I released the first film, I executive produced the second one, and I'm thrilled for the success they found with the third either with or without me, but he has so much going on. His future is so bright, I can't wait to see what he does. That being said, hey, you want to make a little cameo here and there, I'd be open to it, I ain't gonna argue."

While Art the Clown's absence from All Hallow's Eve: Inferno may have disappointed some fans, the decision highlights the producer's support of Leone getting to continue to develop the Terrifier series independently.
