Fans of buckets of blood and gore, get ready! Damien Leone’s Terrifier franchise, featuring Art the Clown, will soon return in the franchise’s fourth installment. So, what can you expect?
Art’s Backstory Revealed
Have you ever wondered how Art became the nightmare he is today? Well, get ready for some answers, because Leone recently promised that the upcoming sequel Terrifier 4 will “finally reveal Art’s origin,” and he’s doubling down on that promise!
In a quick video chat with popular content creator Cris Parker (from 3C Films on YouTube) at Texas Frightmare Weekend, Leone dropped a bombshell: Terrifier 4 will dish out Art’s backstory right at the very beginning of the film.
“I know this word gets used a lot, but it’s going to be epic,” Leone teased. “It’s not going to disappoint. You’re going to get Art’s backstory, in the first 15 minutes of the movie.”
Leone had previously hinted at the scope of the next film, saying, “The script for Terrifier 4 is underway and it is shaping up to be the most epic, horrifying, thrilling, emotional and satisfying conclusion to the Terrifier saga.” Bloody-Disgusting quoted.
The Return of Art the Clown
It’s expected that David Howard Thornton will return as the terrifying Art the Clown, and Lauren LaVera as the beloved final girl, Sienna Shaw. Expect more details on Terrifier 4 to emerge soon as production ramps up.
For those keeping score, Leone launched Terrifier in 2016, followed by Terrifier 2 in 2022, which became a breakout indie horror hit. Terrifier 3 opened at #1 at the box office last October, becoming the highest-grossing indie horror film of all time. Unfortunately, some fans may soon be disappointed. According to reports, the fourth installment is expected to be the final installment in the franchise. However, we’ve heard that before, so I wouldn’t get too depressed just yet.
Terrifier 3
If you somehow missed Terrifier 3, you can watch it now on Prime Video and Paramount+. After surviving Art the Clown’s Halloween massacre, Sienna and her brother are struggling to rebuild their shattered lives. As the holiday season approaches, they try to embrace the Christmas spirit and leave the horrors of the past behind. When they think they’re safe, Art the Clown returns, determined to turn their holiday cheer into a new nightmare. The festive season quickly unravels as Art unleashes his twisted brand of terror, proving that no holiday is safe from his wrath.
