Taking to Instagram, Leone said that since the “cat’s out of the bag,” he may as well share a behind-the-scenes set photo of him and David Howard Thornton’s Art the Clown looking awfully merry.

Art can be seen holding up a glass of milk in his Santa suit with blood dripping down his face and his iconic grin, while Leone poses in front of him with an ax. In the background, someone has used fake blood to decorate the walls.
