Growing Budget, Gory Expectations

Impressed by its success, producers are upping the game for Terrifier 3 with a whopping budget of a “couple million.” Fans are eager to see how this directly translates to an even spectacular terrifying experience when the movie hits theaters on October 11th.
The Creepy Clown Returns
A recent image leak by Bloody Disgusting unveils the eerie character, Art the Clown, armed with a box cutter. Who would want to bump into such a character on a dark night? That's a dreadful thought, right?
The Plot Thickens
The synopsis of Terrifier 3 reveals a chilling plot. Art the Clown will wreak havoc on the peaceful residents of Miles County on Christmas Eve. That's not exactly the festive surprise anyone would want!
Familiar Faces and New Entries
The series' regular David Howard Thornton will indeed reprise his role as Art the Clown, a character introduced in Leone's 2013 anthology, ‘All Hallows' Eve.' Alongside, expect to see other familiar faces such as Lauren LaVera as Sienna, Elliot Fullam as Jonathan, Samantha Scaffidi as Victoria Heyes, and WWE superstar Chris Jericho, making a brief cameo.
Besides, be prepared for the entrance of new cast members, including characters played by famed FX artist Tom Savini and character actor Clint Howard.
Back to the Horror Basics
Damien Leone aims to recapture the vibe of the original Terrifier in this third installment. He intends to make the movie the scariest and the most gore-filled yet. Leone plans to minimize the mystical/fantasy elements that populated Terrifier 2 and would limit the running time to less than two hours, a considerable trim from its predecessor's duration.
No Sign of End
Those worried about Terrifier 3 concluding the horrifying saga can breathe a sigh of relief. As the saying goes in the world of horror films, it's never truly over until the supernatural says so! Leone assures fans that even if Terrifier 3 brings a satisfying conclusion for him as a creator, more sequels are always possible.
By all indications, Terrifier 3 looks set for providing some hair-raising moments. Are you geared up for Art the Clown's next terrifying rampage? Take a look at the intriguing new image and let us know your thoughts.
