After the success of Terrifier and Terrifier 2, a third entry is in the works at Dread and Epic Pictures Group.
The first entry was released in 2016 and became very popular on home video, which prompted its sequel to be released in theaters.
Terrifier 2 was released on October 6, 2022, and grossed $15.1M from a production budget of just $250K- the film grossed 60x times its production budget! A third entry is already in development with plans to begin filming later this year.
Given the series' indie nature, the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike shouldn't affect the production's filming schedule.
Recently, director Damien Leone was asked about whether he would want to see Art the Clown team up with any horror icons of yesteryear.
"If I could make or reboot or have my crack at one of the classic films, I would love to take a shot at Friday the 13th. Jason was always my number one as a kid. We get asked a lot if we could have Art “team up” with somebody or fight somebody. I would love to have him team up or fight Freddy because I feel like their sense of humors would work really well together."
Freddy Krueger hasn't been seen on the big screen since 2010's A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot which saw Watchmen's Jackie Earle Haley don the iconic Christmas sweater and claws.
The reboot was eviscerated by critics and has seemingly killed all future installments in the franchise but perhaps it's time for Freddy to return?
Resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to Miles County to terrorize a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.
