The Terrifier 3 teaser trailer that played with the theatrical rerelease of Terrifier 2 has been made available online. Cineverse’s Bloody Disgusting exclusively revealed the teaser that sees the sadistic Art the Clown ruin Christmas for one young boy.
During the re-release of Terrifier 2 in theaters on November 1, which came in at number 5 in gross box office, fans had the opportunity to catch the Terrifier 3 teaser. The teaser also revealed an intriguing twist—the upcoming installment will be Christmas-themed, adding an extra layer of anticipation for horror enthusiasts. In the third installment of Damien Leone’s breakout horror film, Art the Clown is set to unleash chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
Writer/Director Leone said, “Terrifier 2’s remarkable success was driven not only by the insatiable appetite for new and thrilling horror icons like Art the Clown but also by its unparalleled theatrical release and marketing, along with its unyielding spirit. In a cinematic landscape where risk-taking is scarce, I will continue to push boundaries in Terrifier 3, and I can’t wait for you to see what’s in store for Art the Clown.”
Terrifier 3 will see the previous film’s heroine Sienna (Lauren LaVera) return to battle David Howard Thornton’s malicious monster Art the Clown once more, albeit with a shift from the usual Halloween hijinks to Christmas carnage.
Terrifier 2 was made for just $100, 000 and raked in over $11 million at the box office, ensuring a bigger sequel was the next step. Director Damien Leone has been pleased to retain his independence for the sequel, saying one scene in Terrifer 3 would be too controversial for big studios to handle.
The first two movies are being released in a 4K SteelBook box set in January.
Terrifer 3 hits theaters on October 25, 2024.
