20 Great Performances Wasted In Terrible Horror Movies
10. Mike Giannelli - All Hallows' Eve
All Hallows' Eve is a 2013 anthology film and the directorial debut of future Terrifier filmmaker Damien Leone, and it'd be a polite understatement to call it rough around the edges.
It's rather past the point to criticise the film's evidently low budget, but the collection of Halloween-themed shorts simply don't offer much in the way of intrigue.
The single bright spot, however, is Mike Giannelli's performance as the proto-version of Art the Clown, who appears in two of the segments, The 9th Circle and Terrifier, which were shot by Leone years prior and then included in the anthology.
Giannelli brings a skin-crawlingly unnerving quality to the fore here, and though his discomfort with the lengthy makeup process ultimately led him to cede the role to David Howard Thornton - who made Art very much his own - his work here absolutely deserves to be remembered in the formative creation of the character.
