Terrifier 3 is set to terrorize audiences starting October 11, 2024, just in time for the Halloween season. This third installment in the Terrifier franchise, directed by Damien Leone, sees the return of Art the Clown, played by David Howard Thornton, who is ready to unleash more chaos. This time, the horrors unfold on Christmas Eve, offering a grisly holiday twist as Art targets the unsuspecting residents of Miles County.

The movie picks up where Terrifier 2 left off, with Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera) still grappling with the trauma from her last encounter with Art. Returning cast members also include Samantha Scaffidi as Victoria Heyes and Elliot Fullam as Jonathan Shaw. Wrestling star Chris Jericho also reprises his role, with new additions like Daniel Roebuck stepping in as Santa Claus.

Excitement around the film has been building, especially after the success of Terrifier 2, which grossed over $15 million on a modest budget of $250,000. The franchise has grown into a cult phenomenon, known for pushing the boundaries of gore and shock value. Early teasers for Terrifier 3 have already stirred controversy with their grisly Christmas-themed scenes, setting the tone for another intensely violent experience.

After its theatrical run, Terrifier 3 will be available on the horror streaming service Screambox. This release date change, brought forward by two weeks from the original October 25 date, is a nod to fan anticipation and its positioning as one of the most highly anticipated horror films of 2024.

For fans of the genre, Terrifier 3 promises to deliver the same over-the-top carnage and creative kills that have made Art the Clown a modern horror icon. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or new to the series, the film’s combination of brutal slasher violence and dark holiday themes will offer a gruesome ride.
