“Who is this Santa? He’s scaring my kid!”
Oh, dear lady… If you only knew, you’d run far, far away!
Art the Clown is back, for what looks to be his biggest massacre yet! In a newly released trailer, we get our first extended look at Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3, and what a sight it is!
Filled to the brim with festive atmosphere and grisly bloodshed, we catch up with Lauren LaVera, returning as heroine Sienna Shaw. We learn that 5 years have passed since 2022’s Terrifier 2 and Sienna has been living in seclusion at a nearby college. Plagued with PTSD yet lauded as a hero, she is coaxed out of hiding to spend Christmas back in Miles County.
As luck would have it, Sienna’s return coincides with David Howard Thornton’s Art the Clown re-emerging. Draped in Santa Claus garb, it seems Art is determined to spread as much holiday fear as possible…
Once again appearing larger in scale than the previous entry, Terrifier 3 looks like a holiday horror classic right out of the eighties. Eagle eyed viewers will undoubtedly spot loving homages to Bob Clark’s classic Black Christmas throughout the trailer, as well as nods to The Shining, The Amityville Horror, and many more.
Terrifier 3 will also see the return of Elliott Fullam, Samantha Scaffidi, and Chris Jericho, reprising their roles from the previous instalment. Jason Patric, Jon Abrahams, Clint Howard, and Tom Savini will also appear in undisclosed roles.
Set to premiere on September 19th at 2024’s Fantastic Fest, Terrifier 3 will hit theatres October 11th, in the series’ first wide theatrical release. Will Christmas come early for horror fans this year? It looks like it. You can check out the trailer below!
