To switch sides for a second, I will say the biggest shortcoming in the Terrifier movies to me is that Art the Clown is the only "fun" character in them. The audience is sort of encouraged to root for him just because nobody else is doing anything. Rewatching Friday the 13th Part IV last night I was struck by how emotionally upsetting it was whenever Jason showed up because I was sincerely endeared to the kids he was killing, they were funny, they were cute, they had desires in life that I wanted to see them fulfill. The characters in Terrifier sometimes have goals, motivations, etc., but they never have personalities while Art is overflowing with personality.
