The filmmakers used what they already had on hand
Tale
After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to the shy town of Miles County where he preys on a teenage girl and her little brother on Halloween night. The haunted house scenes in “Terrifier” were filmed at a real haunted house called the Fright Factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Art’s favorite acid is fluoroantimonic acid, which he keeps in a clear glass bottle. It is a superacid that can dissolve even glass.
Art the Clown:
There is a mid-credits scene in a mental hospital with Chris Jericho as security guard Alan Burke and Leah Voysey as a nurse. The German DVD and Blu-ray releases from Tiberius Film are trimmed by about three minutes to secure the “Not Under 18” rating (this was necessary because the guidelines for video releases are stricter than for theatrical releases). Basically every violent scene has been cut to tone down the violence. The Mediabook 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray releases from Nameless Media are completely uncut and have received a light SPIO/JK approval..

The Equaliser (Not Alone) Written by Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle (as Jamison Tyler Lyle) Performed by The Midnight Courtesy of BMG Platinum Songs U.S. (BMI). The film is about 45 minutes too long, as others have noted. It is clear that the director got carried away.
Less is always more!
There are some plot developments that do not fit in with the original film at all. Sometimes when filmmakers get their hands on a bigger budget, they feel they have to expand storylines and runtimes. The plot elements add confusion to a simple plot, which would have had more of an impact if it had been kept to about 90 minutes. The carnage wasn’t as bad as the internet hype made it seem.
None of this carnage was anything new
It had been done in many other films. I think the creator of “Terrifier 2” needlessly put extra thematic story lines into the sequel. Ultimately, it borders on fantasy or science fiction. My advice to the creator or director is “keep it short and sweet.”
