While attending Mad Monster Party Arizona, he told the audience he would love to see Art team up with a specific horror icon. When Screen Rant asked Leone about Terrifier crossover, he said that he thinks Art and A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s Freddy Krueger “would work really well together.”

“If I could make or reboot or have my crack at one of the classic films, I would love to take a shot at Friday the 13th. Jason was always my number one as a kid.
