Christmas just got a lot scarier. Horror fans, brace yourselves for the blood-soaked holiday chaos of Terrifier 3, the latest installment in the gory slasher series by director Damien Leone. Known for its gruesome scenes and chilling antagonist, Art the Clown, the Terrifier series is set to deliver another unforgettable horror experience.
A Holiday Horror Treat
“Christmas comes early this year,” teases the new trailer from Cineverse & Bloody Disgusting, and they aren't kidding. The third film promises to unleash Art the Clown's nightmarish antics on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve. This time around, the horror is amplified by the festive backdrop, offering a unique blend of holiday cheer and relentless terror.
Behind the Scenes
Damien Leone, an indie genre filmmaker and special effects makeup artist, returns to write and direct Terrifier 3. His previous works include All Hallows' Eve, Frankenstein vs. the Mummy, and the widely acclaimed Terrifier 2. The film stars Jason Patric, Daniel Roebuck, Lauren LaVera, Bryce Johnson, Bradley Stryker, Chris Jericho, and David Howard Thornton reprising his role as Art the Clown.
Leone has revealed that this installment was shot in “anamorphic widescreen” to evoke the feel of an old-school John Carpenter movie, promising it will still retain the epic scale of Terrifier 2 while harkening back to the tone of the first film, now infused with a Christmas theme.
What to Expect
The teaser trailer, though not packed with new footage, is enough to assure fans that Terrifier 3 will be as bloody and grotesque as its predecessors. It's filled with extreme gore, ensuring that the film lives up to its reputation. The movie is the fourth feature-length film to feature Art the Clown, following his appearance in the anthology film All Hallows' Eve.
Mark Your Calendars
Terrifier 3 is set to hit theaters nationwide on October 11th, 2024. While it hasn't been confirmed for any film festivals yet, the anticipation is building among horror aficionados eager to see what new nightmares Art the Clown will bring to the screen.
As the release date approaches, fans can rewatch the initial teaser for a taste of the horrifying spectacle to come. Stay tuned for more updates and prepare for a holiday season filled with fear and festive frights!
