The killer clown is back once again, this time with holiday cheer.
We are officially less than a month away until Damien Leone’s highly anticipated neo-slasher Terrifier 3 hits theaters, and to celebrate, you can get double the fun for the price of one. For one night only, you’ll be able to catch Leone’s Terrifier 2 and the theatrical premiere of Terrifier 3 back-to-back. Slated the day before Terrifier 3‘s solo release, the double feature takes place Thursday, October 10th. Tickets for screenings are being sold through the movie’s official Instagram page.
Art the Clown, played by David Howard Thornton, made his franchise debut in Leone’s 2016 indie film Terrifier, which follows a demented clown as he slices and dices through unlucky residents of fictional town Miles County on Halloween night. Art quickly rose to icon status in the horror community following the beloved 2022 sequel Terrifier 2, while also simultaneously killing it at the box office.
What can fans anticipate from October’s Terrifier 3 release? The film will continue the story of modern “Final Girl” Sienna Shaw, played by Lauren LaVera, a survivor of Art’s most recent massacre. This time, however, Art’s adorned as jolly St. Nick himself. Decked merry and bright, audiences can expect the slasher to ditch Halloween this year and cut straight to Christmas.
One thing we shouldn’t expect to change though, is the tons of terror and buckets of blood he’s planned to bring with him. Known notoriously for his over-the-top kills, gore fans should continue to look forward to the intricately crafted gifts prepared expertly by Art the Clown, and you won’t even have to wait ’til Christmas.
Terrifier 3 hits theaters October 11th, 2024.
