All Hallows' Eve is a 2013 American horror anthology film written, edited, and directed by Damien Leone.
The film stars Katie Maguire, Catherine Callahan, Marie Maser, and Kayla Lian, with Mike Giannelli as Art the Clown.
[1][2] On Halloween, after a night out trick-or-treating, children Tia and Timmy are surprised to find an unmarked VHS tape in their candy bag.
A deformed humanoid appears and dismembers Kristen with a cleaver, unwittingly freeing Casey by severing her chains.
After watching the witches cut the fetus from the womb of a restrained pregnant woman, Casey is raped by Satan.
He goes inside to investigate, and when he does not return, the costume designer enters the building and sees Art chopping up his body with a hacksaw.
After some time, the costume designer regains consciousness on a crude operating table and finds that Art has amputated her limbs and breasts and carved misogynistic obscenities into her body.
Sarah runs upstairs and sees Art the Clown outside their room, covered in blood, laughing at her and gleefully gesturing for her to enter.
Sarah enters the room, finding just Tia and Timmy's severed heads, and "ART" written on the wall in blood.
Rod Lott of the Oklahoma Gazette wrote: "what All Hallows' Eve lacks in production value, writer/director/editor/makeup artist Damien Leone makes up for in pure passion.
"[14] A reviewer for Ain't It Cool News praised the character of Art the Clown, calling him "somewhat iconic" and "pretty terrifying", but criticized the film's "paper-thin" storyline, writing that "I can only imagine the fear would have been multiplied exponentially had the filmmakers spent as much time on the story as they did with coming up with the creepy as all get-out monster.
"[16] Brad McHargue of Dread Central gave the film a score of 3.5 out of 5, writing that Art could "be destined to become a horror icon", and concluding: "Through all of its flaws, [...] All Hallows' Eve shows tremendous talent both in front of and behind the camera.
"[17] Adrian Halen of HorrorNews.net called it "easily one of the scariest films I've seen this year", writing that it "tends to transcend its own setting by playing on viewers fears and sense of nightmarish realism.
"[19] Felix Vasquez Jr. of Cinema Crazed called the film "a pointless exercise in the anthology format with no real stand out stories, or performances in the bunch.
Even with Generic the Clown acting as the basic clothesline for all of the tales, Damien Leone's indie anthology horror film is a very forgettable and dull genre entry.
"[20] All Hallows' Eve 2 is a standalone anthology film from Ruthless Pictures and producer/director Jesse Baget containing nine story segments, each with a different director.
