"Terrifier 2's remarkable success was driven not only by the insatiable appetite for new and thrilling horror icons like Art the Clown but also by its unparalleled theatrical release and marketing, along with its unyielding spirit," said director Damien Leone (via Bloody Disgusting).

"In a cinematic landscape where risk-taking is scarce, I will continue to push boundaries in Terrifier 3, and I can't wait for you to see what’s in store for Art the Clown."

The second film was both a commercial and critical success, with its extreme gore and violence even making cast member Chris Jericho remark that filming was "gross".

"I don't think people realise that Damien not only wrote this movie and directed it, but he does all the practical effects. There's no CGI, it's all old-school sculpting and models. In the film, I have to eat a zombie platter. It's Halloween, so my wife has made all these zombie treats," he recalled.

"One of them was a jellied eyeball. And I think it was kind of custard with some kind of almost plastic candy, and I had to eat like five of them. And they were cold, and they were gelatinous. And it was really kind of getting to me. It was really gross."

Terrifier 3 is scheduled to be released in cinemas on October 11, 2024.
