July 26th 2024.
It's time to get excited, horror fans, because Art the Clown is making a comeback in the highly anticipated Terrifier 3. Created by filmmaker Damien Leone, the black-and-white clown first made his twisted debut in the 2008 short film The 9th Circle, before returning to wreak havoc in the 2013 horror anthology All Hallows Eve.
The first Terrifier film hit theaters in 2016, followed by the wildly popular sequel Terrifier 2 in 2022, which gained worldwide attention for its over-the-top gore and reportedly made some audience members vomit and faint during screenings. The success of the franchise has ensured a third installment, and this time, Art is set to unleash his bloody brand of chaos during the Christmas season.
The teaser trailer, set to a haunting rendition of "Silent Night," gives us glimpses of returning heroine Sienna Shaw walking towards flames and screaming while slamming a door. And, of course, we also get plenty of shots of Art up to his usual tricks, wielding an axe while dressed as a sinister Santa Claus.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting Terrifier 3, with many already crowning it the best horror film of 2024 before even getting a full trailer. Twitter is abuzz with excitement, as users share their thoughts on the teaser and speculate about what gruesome surprises the film has in store.
Returning cast members include Elliot Fullam as Sienna's brother Jonathan, as well as AEW star Chris Jericho, who played Burke in Terrifier 2. And there's a whole host of new names joining the Terrifier universe, including Final Destination's Daniel Roebuck, From Dusk Til Dawn star Tom Savini, The Lost Boys' Jason Patric, and Lords of Salem actor Clint Howard.
While plot details are being kept under wraps, we do know that the film will see Art unleashing chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County on Christmas Eve. And according to writer and director Leone, Terrifier 3 will go back to its roots and have a darker, grittier tone reminiscent of the first film.
Leone has promised that this will be the most gory and terrifying installment yet, with scenes that will top even Terrifier 2's infamous "bedroom scene." Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the film on October 11, and with the talent behind it and the promise of a truly horrifying experience, it's sure to be a Halloween season must-see.
So mark your calendars and prepare for a bloody, bonkers ride with the return of Art the Clown in Terrifier 3. And if the teaser trailer is anything to go by, it's going to be a Christmas to remember.
