Horror fans, brace yourselves! The thrilling world of Terrifier is back, and this time it's slashing its way into the music scene. The much-anticipated Terrifier 3 has teamed up with cinematic horror metal band Ice Nine Kills for a collaboration that is set to electrify both horror and metal fans alike. The band's latest track, “A Work of Art,” will serve as the official song for Terrifier 3, and it's already shaping up to be an event that every horror buff needs on their radar.
A Horror-Metal Marriage Made in Blood
Announced at Silver Scream Con III, Ice Nine Kills' frontman Spencer Charnas revealed the band's partnership with Terrifier 3, a team-up destined to thrill fans of both horror movies and heavy metal. Known for their immersive storytelling and theatrics, Ice Nine Kills is the perfect match for a franchise like Terrifier, which has already garnered a cult following thanks to its terrifying clown antagonist, Art the Clown.
In Charnas' own words, “The Terrifier franchise gave us Art the Clown, the greatest new horror icon in decades. We are beyond honored by the invitation to play within the viciously delightful universe Damien Leone and his incredible team have created.” This collaboration isn't just about music—it's about expanding Terrifier's dark, twisted universe into new, spine-tingling realms.
Exclusive Premiere at Fantastic Fest and AMC Theaters
The official music video for “A Work of Art” will make its grand debut at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, on September 19th, following the world premiere of Terrifier 3. Fans unable to attend Fantastic Fest won't have to wait too long—on October 10th, select AMC Theaters nationwide will feature the video during a special double feature of Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3. It's a horror lover's dream come true: a terrifying marathon of blood-soaked chaos with an exclusive musical treat to top it all off.
In addition to these premieres, fans attending the AMC double feature will get a sneak peek of the music video before it hits wider audiences. The video, which clocks in at seven minutes, promises to be just as chilling as the films themselves.
A Star-Studded Video Full of Horror Royalty
The music video, directed by long-time Ice Nine Kills collaborator Jensen Noen, brings together some familiar faces from the Terrifier universe, including David Howard Thornton, who reprises his role as the terrifying Art the Clown. Joining him are Leah Voysey (Terrifier 2) and Catherine Corcoran, who starred in the original Terrifier. The project also features Shavo Odadjian of System of a Down, showcasing a perfect fusion of horror, metal, and pure nightmare fuel.
Adding even more star power to the mix, the video boasts special effects from Academy Award-winning FX artist Christopher Nelson (Suicide Squad, Halloween Ends), ensuring the gruesome visuals live up to the franchise's legacy.
Art the Clown Returns in Terrifier 3
As fans prepare for the release of Terrifier 3, set to hit theaters on October 11, expectations are sky-high. Damien Leone, the visionary behind the Terrifier films, returns to direct this holiday horror flick that pits Art the Clown against the unsuspecting residents of Miles County on Christmas Eve. With the haunting success of Terrifier 2—a sequel that generated an impressive $10 million worldwide on a mere $250,000 budget—this third installment is poised to be another sleeper hit.
In a time where horror franchises often feel stale, Terrifier 3 and Ice Nine Kills promise a fresh, blood-drenched take on the genre. With music, star power, and terrifying effects all aligning, this is one collaboration horror fans won't want to miss.
Final Thoughts: A Killer Combo of Horror and Metal
The crossover between Ice Nine Kills and Terrifier 3 feels like the perfect nightmare concoction—one that embraces both the high-energy brutality of metal music and the raw, unapologetic terror of horror cinema. Whether you're drawn in by the bloody spectacle of Art the Clown or the pulse-pounding beats of Ice Nine Kills, one thing is clear: Terrifier 3 is about to be a blood-soaked event like no other. Horror fans, mark your calendars.
