This time, it’s Christmas, and if leading characters Sienna and Jonathan Shaw think the holidays will allow them to forget their traumatic past, they got it all wrong.
Terrifier 3puts the siblings at the mercy of of the most relentless villains in recent horror history, and once again, he’s back for more blood.The film continues the eventsthat transpired in part 2, as Sienna and Jonathan believe they can leave the past behind and start all over. However, Miles County again falls prey to the sick and immortal clown, this time dressed in a Santa suit and making snow angels in a pool of blood. Watch the trailer forTerrifier 3below.
The film is set to pay tribute to the horror genre by making plenty of references to past classics and all while serving up a horror spectacle to gore fans. Damien Leone is back in the director’s chair, and he made sure to include many cameos by horror legends alongside the returning cast, which is led once again by Lauren LaVera as the incredible “final girl” for the modern era, Sienna Shaw. Other returnees include Elliot Fullam as Sienna’s brother Jonathan, Samantha Scaffidi as the originalTerrifiersurvivor Victoria, and David Howard Thornton back in the guise of Art. Among the many familiar faces dropping in for cameo appearances are Chris Jericho, Daniel Roebuck, Jason Patric, Jon Abrahams, and horror legend Tom Savini.
Terrifier 3 is Sure to Shock, Like It Shocked the Main Star
Terrifier 3
Terrifier 3 follows Sienna and her brother as they attempt to move past the traumatic events of Art the Clown’s Halloween massacre. As they embrace the Christmas season, Art reemerges, intent on turning their holiday into a nightmare, continuing his reign of terror.
David Howard Thornton, the actor responsible for playing Art the Clown in Damien Leone’sTerrifierfranchise, may have finally broken during the production ofTerrifier 3. By “broken,” we mean nothing negative, of course, but during one scene, Thornton admits he was so disgusted he nearly vomited. Considering the previous two movies went all the way with graphic violence, and he didn’t flinch,Terrifier 3must have something truly shocking.
During hisconversation with Empire magazine, he admitted there’s a scene in the film that got the best of him. Still, he also mentions that a sense of humor is important when watching his movies. Perhaps they aren’t supposed to be horrific but funny. In any case,Terrifier 3appears to be more divisive than ever:
“There’s one particular thing I have a hard time stomaching. I don’t want to say what it was, but I almost vomited. Of course, everybody thought it was hysterical that I was having that reaction. Like: ‘Oh, we finally got him!’ People are gonna be surprised by the depravity that we get up to in that scene.
I don’t know what this says about me, but I get a little giddy [about the gore]. To me, it’s cartoon violence. I just like trying things that people haven’t seen before.”
