The Terrifier franchise’s right-hand director, Damien Leone, has reportedly confirmed that a fourth installment is in the works. During a Q&A segment at Terrifier 3‘s premiere, Leone allegedly stated that Terrifier 4 was being made. The intel came from a series of tweets on X, formerly known as Twitter, from @RCAReacts, @RyanRanc, and @Zproductionz, to name a few. The first account claims that Leone confirmed Terrifier 4. The second account mirrored the person’s post, which announced, “They just confirmed Terrifier 4!” The third account also revealed that “Terrifier 4 was just confirmed by Damien Leone.” The man behind the lens has yet to say if this statement is true or false.
For now, fans are waiting for Terrifier 3 to hit theaters on Oct. 11. The latest trailer, which debuted on Aug. 28, previewed Art The Clown, played by David Howard Thornton, embarking on a murderous Christmas rampage. Initially previewed at San Diego Comic-Con, the extended trailer finds the horror movie character in the festive spirit as he drives others to their doom on Christmas Eve.
Terrifier 3 stars Thornton, Lauren Lavera, Elliott Fullam, Samantha Scaffidi, Antonella Rose, Margaret Anne Florence, Bryce Johnson, Alexa Blair, Mason Mecartea, Krsy Fox, Clint Howard, Jon Abrahams, Chris Jericho, Daniel Roebuck, and Jason Patric.
The Terrifier franchise is written and directed by Damien Leone. He’s been telling stories about Art The Clown since 2008. The character first appeared in a short film called The 9th Circle. Once 2011 hit, he had his own self-titled short film. At the time, Art The Clown was played by Mike Gianelli before he retired. Both movies were then added to All Hallows’ Eve in 2013.
Art got his first feature movie in 2016’s Terrifier. Following this, he reappeared in 2022’s Terrifier 2, which earned approximately $15.7 million at the box office with an estimated $250,000 budget.
