Filming is now officially underway on the third Terrifier movie, and director Damien Leone has taken to social media to share a new behind-the-scenes look at Art the Clown.
“Are you ready for more?,” the filmmaker captioned his post, which gives us another look at David Howard Thornton in the process of becoming the bloodthirsty demonic mime.
Specific plot details are still under wraps, but the teaser confirmed that Terrifier 3 will be set around the Holidays, and Leone spilled a little more info during a recent interview.
“This one is going to pick up where part two left off, in the insane asylum, so, you’re going to see what transpires there, what mayhem unfolds, because seeing how Art and Victoria ended up, is so insane, and seeing how they get out of that situation and what happens next is going to be really wild.”
The first movie was definitely not for the squeamish, and the sequel actually managed to up the ante with some truly stomach-churning acts of depravity. Should we expect the threequel to at least aim to outdo its predecessors? Yep!
"I remember having meetings with people. I got to meet with studios, like legit Hollywood studios, who wanted to make Terrifier 3," Leone said in a recent interview. "But before I even had a script, just based on the success of part 2, and just having meetings and getting the feel that I was going to have eyes over my shoulders, and they were concerned about the levels of gore and this and that. I knew, and not having seen my script or have any idea what I had in mind, I knew they weren’t going to let me make this movie based on the first five pages. Like that’s how insane Terrifier 3 is. The first like 5 minutes of this movie, a studio would never let me film what I plan on filming. So mark my words, I guarantee you the first 5 minutes of this movie is going to be very controversial. But that’s not even the big kill scene. So like that’s why I was like, I need to just make this movie on my own, because it’s just too... it’s too insane."
Terrifier 3 slices its way into theaters just in time for Halloween. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think in the comments.
