Cineverse has released a second official trailer for Terrifier 3 , the next installment in the fan-favorite horror franchise. In the new movie, Art the Clown is going to delve into some good old holiday cheer, complete with a Santa suit and some holiday decor. It's an offsetting aesthetic, but one that will likely play well considering the movie will land in theaters just a couple of weeks before Halloween, right around the time major retailers are already starting to set up Christmas trees in the aisles. It seems likely they're setting up for a digital release just prior to Christmas. For now, this trailer comes with the note that tickets are on sale.
In keeping with the holiday theming, there's a "naughty" and "nice" trailer for the movie now. You can see the new one via news site and Terrifier producer Bloody Disgusting below.
" 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," Director Damien Leone said in a previous statement about Terrifier 3 's release. "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."
Per the synopsis, "In Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting's Terrifier 3 , directed once again by Damien Leone, Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is set to unleash another round of chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve."
Terrifier 3 was originally set to release just before Halloween, October 25th 2024 ; however, that release date has been moved up to October 11th. It also gives a more indie-level release like Terrifier 3 much-needed breathing room before it has to compete with some bigger-budget offerings. Paramount's Smile 2 is set for October 18th, and if it had a strong opening weekend, it's second week could have offset a strong opening for Terrifier 3 .
Speaking of major retailers, the Terrifier franchise has been making some headlines recently, with Bloody Disgusting teaming up with Witter Entertainment to get VHS copies of Terrifier 2 into Walmart stores all over the country. The 2-tape set, which retails for around $30, can command up to twice that from eBay resellers.
Terrifier 3 will be arriving exclusively in theaters on October 11.
