This article contains major spoilers for "Terrifier 2."
In a horror movie season dominated by Michael Myers ("Halloween Ends"), killer grimaces ("Smile"), and hellish Airbnbs ("Barbarian"), Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) has earned a spot among the greats with "Terrifier 2." Earlier in the fall, the sequel to director Damien Leone's 2016 splatter flick received not only positive reviews but great word-of-mouth buzz that took Art from a genre curiosity to a full-blown pantomime slasher superstar. Its theatrical release garnered headlines about people who either fainted, vomited, or needed an ambulance called while watching it. The closest "Terrifier 2" came to actually making someone sick on set was Aew star Chris Jericho while devouring a disgusting plate of spooky gelatin.
It was those reports, in addition to the power of Leone's show-stopping practical effects, that turned "Terrifier 2" into a massive success for independent horror. A one-week theatrical...

Following a couple festival screenings, writer/director Damien Leone’s Terrifier 2 is scheduled to receive a nationwide theatrical release, courtesy of Cinedigm, in partnership with Iconic Events, on October 6th. (Tickets are available for purchase at Terrifier2TheMovie.com.) But while most Terrifier fans haven’t had a chance to see the sequel yet, Leone is already plotting Terrifier 3.
Speaking with Slash Film, Leone said, “I basically have a structure for Terrifier 3 already. Right now, I would like to just tell a solid story where it has a nice arc for my heroes, my villains, it’s complete. So a three is, I can almost guarantee a part three. After that? We’ll see if there’s anything left and if the fans still are still accepting of this character and this franchise.“
