10 Most Brutal Slasher Movie Killers

(First appearance: The Ninth Circle - 2008)

Although appearing only sporadically in a handful of independent titles before getting his own feature length fright fest, Art the Clown exemplifies the nature of his name in the embodiment of his work - or disembowelment of bodies to perform his work.

The disembowelment in this case is more literal than metaphoric, which holds a disturbing implication but alludes to something much more deranged in execution - and the executions performed by this malevolent being are at a level beyond repentance. Especially when tied to the fact that the majority of his victims are women.

One of the aforementioned ladies receives perhaps the worst death in a slasher movie in a notorious scene that includes a hacksaw being introduced to off-screen genitalia. It's a vomit inducing scene that causes even the most hardened of horror veterans to use their cushions and pillows as a makeshift fort.

The thought of reasoning behind his occupancy of the midway spot is accredited only to his lack of appearances, as well as his yet to be formed notoriety.
