If you haven't seen 2016's Terrifier - and providing you have a strong stomach - we recommend checking it out this Halloween ahead of the release of the highly-anticipated sequel.
The first teaser promo for Terrifier 2 is now online, and while it doesn't show much beyond a glimpse of the returning Art the Clown, the full trailer is set to debut at some point tomorrow.
The first Terrifier is not a great movie, truth be told, but it is a very effective one, and contains one of the most genuinely disgusting, disturbing scenes of the past decade.
Check out the teaser below (via Bloody Disgusting) along with a synopsis, poster and some quotes from the director.
From Writer/Director Damien Leone (All Hallows’ Eve), the highly anticipated sequel to the cult-favorite slasher film welcomes back David Howard Thornton as the demonic killer, Art the Clown. Terrifier 2 also introduces Lauren LaVera as Sienna, who will become an instant fan favorite. Also returning is Samantha Scaffidi who will reprise her role as Victoria Heyes. Horror icon Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp) also makes an appearance.
Terrifier 2 has Art the Clown up to his old tricks once again. Following his gruesome demise in the first film, a sinister presence has brought Art back to life to reign terror on the residents of Miles County. On Halloween night, he returns to the unassuming town and sets his sights on fresh prey: a teenage girl and her little brother, portrayed by LaVera and Elliott Fullam, respectively.
“Just like our incredible fan base, Bloody Disgusting immediately recognized the film’s franchise potential and acknowledged Art the Clown as a new and formidable presence in the genre,” said director Damien Leone. “It was encouraging to find the perfect home for our batshit crazy, no holds barred, balls-to-the-wall horror film after three arduous years of production, a global pandemic and endless gallons of blood."
“Our goal was to create a horror film that was boundary-pushing, fresh yet old-school and demented as hell,” Leone adds. “You know…a film you can take the kids to! We are thrilled to finally answer that once dreaded question…”So, when does Terrifier 2 come out?!”
