History Film / AllHallowsEve

* GenreSavvy: Sarah's unseen friend, [[Main/TheVoice Dee]], jokes that babysitting on Halloween night is a bad idea. [[spoiler:Turns out she's right.]]
** Sarah herself displays a bit of savviness near the end, when she [[spoiler: destroys the tape to save herself from Art. [[WrongGenreSavvy She succeeds in saving herself, but not the kids]].]]

* MonsterClown: UpToEleven. Art is an AxCrazy, sadistic madman (if he [[HumanoidAbomination can even be called a "man" at all]]) whose idea of humor involves the suffering and death of others.

* PrecisionFStrike: The normally stoic Sarah shouts "Fuck!" when she tries to eject the videotape at the end.

* WickedWitch: A witch coven appears in the last act of ''The 9th Circle,'' closely resembling the typical wicked witch.

* HollywoodSatanism: The coven in ''The 9th Circle.'' They sacrifice infants, wear black robes, drink blood, and are watched over by the Devil himself.

A sequel InNameOnly (which shares a few common elements with the first) was released in 2015. A spinoff named after the third short, ''Film/Terrifier,'' will be released in 2017.

* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: In ''Descent,'' a woman sees her friend murdered in her apartment. This traumatizes causes her to [[spoiler:hallucinate every man she comes across as her friend's killer.]]

----
!! ''Terrifier (2017)'' contains examples of:

* AxCrazy: Why, Art the Clown, of course. Although he looks like he's going to be even ''more'' violent and insane in this one than in ''All Hallows' Eve.''
* BloodierAndGorier: Than its predecessor, and to the point where there's a scene that would have given it an NC-17 rating if Damien Leone answered to the MPAA!
* DropTheHammer: The trailer shows Art bashing one of his victims in the face with a hammer.
* FinalGirl: It looks like Tara will be this.
* SerialEscalation: You thought what Art did to the [[spoiler:costume designer]] was bad? You've seen ''nothing.''
* SlasherMovie: More so that ''All Hallows' Eve.''

* MonsterMisogyny: Only 3 (4, if you count Art) of the 10 people killed or maimed in the movie are male, and the women suffer the most gruesome fates. With that said, Art seems to enjoy violence and terror in general.

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Sarah saves herself from Art, but is too late to save the children.]]

'''Sarah:''' What are you talking about?\\

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: During the end credits, [[spoiler:Art walks out from behind a pillar in a dimly-lit boiler room, and quickly tiptoes towards the TV screen, ''[[ParanoiaFuelstaring at the viewer]].'']]

* FauxAffablyEvil: Despite a lack of any speaking lines, Art could be considered this. He dresses up as a clown and acts the part, until he decides to drop the façade altogether. In ''The 9th Circle,'' he gives Casey a flower, which has a cockroach crawling inside of it. After drugging her, he waves at her as she slips into unconsciousness.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: During the end credits, [[spoiler:Art walks out from behind a pillar in a dimly-lit boiler room, and quickly tiptoes towards the TV screen, [[ParanoiaFuel''staring at the viewer]].'']]

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: During the end credits, [[spoiler:Art walks out from behind a pillar in a dimly-lit boiler room, and quickly tiptoes towards the TV screen, [[ParanoiaFuel''staring at the viewer.'']]

* AllMythsAreTrue: Well, it certainly seems that way. In the film's universe, [[Main/OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]], [[Main/WickedWitch witches]], {{Satan}}, unspecified monsters and even aliens all exist.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: While he most certainly ''looks'' — [[GoodLipsEvilJaws for the most part]] — like a normal person dressed as a clown, there's something about Art that's really unusual. See HumanoidAbomination below.

* AxCrazy: Art.
* BloodIsTheNewBlack: At the end of the movie, [[spoiler:Art is covered in blood as he laughs and points at the door, behind which are the dismembered bodies of the two children.]]

** Sarah herself displays a bit of savviness near the end, when she [[spoiler: destroys the tape to save herself from Art. WrongGenreSavvy She succeeds in saving herself, but not the kids]].]]
* {{Gorn}}: Not much in the wraparound or the first two segments, but in the ''Terrifier'' segment for certain.

* HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday
* HumanoidAbomination: Art is implied to be one. ''In The 9th Circle,'' as Casey slips unconscious after he drugged her, his eyes become [[GlowingEyesOfDoom two glowing orbs]]. In ''Terrifier,'' he is shown to be capable of teleportation and [[spoiler:[[OnlyAFleshWound survives being stabbed]] [[ImplacableMan in both the back and the eye]].]]

* ImAHumanitarian: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] with the monster in ''The 9th Circle.''

* INeedAFreakingDrink: Sarah says as such to Dee, and she is seen drinking wine while watching the tape.

* MonsterMisogyny: Of the 10 people killed or otherwise harmed in the movie, only 3 are male, and the women seem to suffer the most gruesome fates. That being said, Art does seems to enjoy killing anyone.

* NothingIsScarier: Sara is dragged off by the monster in ''The 9th Circle'' short, and it's unknown what exactly becomes of her.
* OhCrap: After receiving a phone call from the [[spoiler:costume designer]], Sarah has this expression on her face.

* PottyFailure: In ''Terrifier,'' the gas station attendant throws Art out for pissing all over the bathroom and smearing the walls with his shit.

* {{Expy}}: The Trickster's jumpsuit, knife, and stalking mannerisms are more than a little similar to those of [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]].

* LargeHam: He may not have any speaking lines, but Mike Gianelli is clearly having a blast playing Art. And it's terrifying.

* AnArmAndALeg: Kristen has her arm chopped off by the monster in ''The 9th Circle.''
** [[spoiler:The costume designer is dismembered in ''Terrifier.'']]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: When the costume designer stops to check a car she found by the road, she finds the horribly mutilated body of a woman inside, who has her [[Main/TearOffYourFace face peeled off]], [[Main/EyelessFace eyes gouged]], and hands removed. And to top it off, [[Main/AndIMustScream she's still alive]].
** And that's saying nothing of what happens [[spoiler:to the costume designer herself. Unless, of course, Art had [[Main/FateWorseThanDeath other plans]] [[Main/RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil for her]].]]

* ExploitationFilm: ''Terrifier'' is an homage to this genre.

* XMeetsY: Can best be described as Halloween1978 meets {{Film/VHS}} and TheRing, with a MonsterClown.

* BullyingADragon: The gas station attendant throws Art out of the gas station and threatens to call the cops on him. This comes back to bite him in the ass ... with a hacksaw.

* ForTheEvulz: Being TheVoiceless, Art never gives an explanation for why he does what he does, but his body language and mimed laughter give little other interpretation to his motives.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: During the end credits, [[spoiler:Art walks out from behind a pillar in a dimly-lit boiler room, and creeps towards the TV screen, ''staring at the viewer.'']]

* {{Jerkass}}: Art, when he's not actually killing anyone. When Casey first sees him, he annoys her by honking his horn while she's trying to read. Furthermore, he points and mimes laughing at his victims whenever he harms them.

** In one of his rare funny moments, he's later shown being kicked out of a gas station by its attendant. The reason why? He left [[PottyFailure a huge mess]] in the bathroom for [[EvilIsPetty no other reason than to fuck with him]].

* ForTheEvulz: Being TheVoiceless, Art never gives an explanation for why he does what he does, but his body language and mimed laughter give away his motives.

** In one of his rare funny moments, he's later shown being beaten up by a gas station attendant. The reason why? He left [[PottyFailure a huge mess]] in the bathroom.

* {{Expy}}: The Trickster's jumpsuit, knife, and stalking mannerisms are awfully reminiscent of [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]].

A 2013 pseudo-{{anthology}} film are directed by Damien Leone. "Pseudo" because the segments in the film, sans the second one, were released as shorts prior to the release of the movie.

A sequel InNameOnly (which shares a few common elements with the first) was released in 2015. A spinoff named after the third short, ''Terrifier,'' was released in 2016.

!! ''Terrifier (2016)'' contains examples of:

It's a quiet Halloween night, and Sarah is babysitting her friend's children, Timmy and Tia. She finds a videotape in Timmy's bag, which contains three tales of murder and mayhem all linked together by a MonsterClown known only as Art. As the night goes on, the line between reality and fantasy begins to blur as art slowly creeps his way into our world.

* AlienAbduction: The second segment.

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Sarah saves herself, but not the children.]]

* TheGreys: Appears to be what the scuba-diving alien is in the second segment, though instead of having grey skin, it's wearing a mask with stereotypical alien features.

** In the ''Terrifier'' segment, [[spoiler: the girl appears to kill or at least severely wound Art, and gets in a car with a stranger. But Art, who is very much alive, catches up with them and shoots the good samaritan in the head]].

* BodyHorror: In ''Jack Attack,'' eating pumpkin seeds [[spoiler:will result in small pumpkins growing and bursting out of people's stomachs.]]

* PsychopathicManchild: Mr. Tricker, of ''Mr. Tricker's Treats.''
* SerialKiller: Mr. Tricker kills people and displays them as Halloween decorations.

* {{Troll}}: A rather sinister example. In his EstablishingCharacterMoment, Art annoys Casey by honking his horn while she's trying to read. When she asks him to stop, [[FauxAffablyEvil he hands a flower to her]], and she — much to the malevolent clown's amusement — is horrified when a cockroach crawls out of it.

* {{Gorn}}: Not in the wraparound or even the first two segments, but in the ''Terrifier'' segment for certain.

* MonsterMisogyny: Of the people killed in the movie, only 3 are male, and the women seem to suffer the most gruesome fates. That being said, Art does seems to enjoy killing anyone.

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Sarah destroys the tape, but is too late to save the children.]]

* TheVoiceless: Art, although is heard [[EvilLaugh laughing]] sometimes.

* WickedWitch: An entire coven of them.

* InNameOnly: Minus the name and being an anthology film set on Halloween involving a supernatural stalker, it his no relation to the first.

* FinalGirl: It looks like Tara will be this.

!!All Hallows' Eve contains examples of:

* MonsterClown: UpToEleven. Art is a murderous, sadistic madman (if he [[HumanoidAbomination can even be called a "man" at all]]) who positively relishes and finds amusement in the suffering of others.

--> '''Timmy:''' Maybe we could if you'd stop checking in on us every five minutes.\\
