We knew it'd only be a matter of time after the massive success of Terrifier 2, which made $15 million at the global box office from a budget of just $250k, and France-based distribution outfit The Coven (via Deadline) has now officially announced that a third movie is in the works.
Production is scheduled to begin later this year, and Art the Clown should return to our screens for more gruesome adventures in late 2024.
Story details (does anyone really care about the story?) are still under wraps, but David Howard Thornton will reprise his role as the unkillable clown, and Lauren LaVera is also expected to return as the second movie's protagonist, Sienna.
Writer-director Damien Leone and producer Phil Falcone are back on board, and are said to be pushing to double the budget of the second film.
“Terrifier 3 will be another boundary pushing addition to the horror genre, continuing the no holds barred, uncompromising exploits fans of the franchise have come to expect and celebrate," Leone said. “If you thought Art the Clown’s reign of terror in part 2 was extreme, you haven’t seen anything yet.”
Depending on your tolerance for truly sickening gore, this could be seen as either a promise or a threat!
