Terrifier 3: Trailer, Release date, plot, & Everything we know About Art the Clown’s Return
Published on August 29, 2024
If you're a fan of slasher horrors, we have good news for you. After the success of Terrifier 2 featuring the bloody Art the Clown, the franchise is back with Terrifier 3. And this time, Christmas is early! The movie is produced by Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting, and a new full-length trailer has finally dropped.
In the previous Terrifier movie, we saw Sienna beheading Art the Clown, and his killing partner picked up the head and left. In the end credit scene, we see the first Terrifier's surviving victim give birth to Art's head, which was alive and smiling at a shocked nurse.
David Howard Thornton, who plays Art, said in an interview about Terrifier 3, "There’s one particular thing I have a hard time stomaching. I don’t want to say what it was, but I almost vomited. Of course, everybody thought it was hysterical that I was having that reaction. Like: ‘Oh, we finally got him!'” There’s one sequence in the threequel that will be very controversial… People are gonna be surprised by the depravity that we get up to in that scene."
Director Damien Leone has said that the third installment will be the most horrific one yet. He said, "One of my main goals for Terrifier 3 is to recapture the creep factor present in the original Terrifier short film. That had a genuinely spooky atmosphere that I’m still proud of."
In this article, we will provide all the information you need about the slasher film's release date, plot details, cast, trailers and teasers, and more. Check it out!
