The first teaser trailer for Damien Leone‘s ‘Terrifier 3‘ has been released. The 1-minute teaser reveals the film’s chilling premise, with Art the Clown brutally murdering unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve. According to Leone—Terrifier 3 will be the darkest and bleakest entry in the franchise, pulling back on the fantasy elements to focus more on the first film’s tone.
‘Terrifier 3’ is a Christmas horror movie and sequel to ‘Terrifier 2‘ (2022). It will reintroduce possessed survivor Victoria Heyes in a more prominent role. Leone has already confirmed that ‘Terrifier 3’ will be the most terrifying installment in the trilogy.
On Twitter (X), Leone teased that “Terrifier 3” includes one of the “most insanely horrific scenes of the Terrifier franchise.” It almost made David Howard Thornton, the actor playing the murderous Terrifier villain Art the Clown, vomit on set.
The film stars Lauren LaVera as Sienna Shaw, Elliot Fullam as Jonathan Shaw, Samantha Scaffidi as Victoria Heyes, Howard Thornton as Art the Clown, and Chris Jericho as Burke.
As per the plot, “Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.”
Produced by Phil Falcone, Steven Della Salla, Jason Leavy, and Michael Leavy, the film is a collaboration between production companies Dark Age Cinema and Fuzz on the Lens Productions.
