‘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.
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.”
On Twitter (X), Leone teased that “Terrifier 3” includes one of the “most insanely horrific scenes of the Terrifier franchise.” It almost made Howard Thornton, the actor playing the murderous Terrifier villain Art the Clown, vomit on set.
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.
‘Terrifier 3’ hits theaters on October 25, 2024, by Cineverse.
