The surprise horror break out of 2022, Terrifier 2 scared audiences out of their wits over in America and now Art The Clown will see a third instalment - though this time it will come with added tinsel.

That's right, the horrifying Art will return for a third time in 2024 but this time he isn't coming for Halloween - he's arriving for Christmas dinner!

The film, which first rose to prominence in 2016 after its gruesome original movie exploded into life with the 2022 sequel that saw audiences passing out and vomiting in the cinema after watching its brutal scenes.

For some, Terrifier was obviously a little too much gore, but for others it was exactly what the doctor ordered - and with a third film now confirmed to be in the works, horror fans are ready for more gore and more clown.

Here is everything we know about Terrifier 3 - plus the teaser trailer for the movie.

What is Terrifier 3 about, is Terrifier 3 a Christmas film

Yes, in short, the third instalment of Art will be Christmas themed though we can assure you it will not be family friendly. As the second film did last year, expect it to be brutal, gore-filled and full of limb chopping action. Terrifier is not for the faint of heart.

However, outside of that, there are few things known about the plot of the film. In conversation with Variety, director Damien Leone said: "I had a Part Three in mind when writing Part Two. There are so many questions brought up in Part Two that are not answered, and that was part of the design because I know I’m going into a Part Three. I pretty much have the entire treatment ready for Part Three, but it’s getting so big that it could potentially split into a Part Four because I wouldn’t want to make another two hour and 20 minute movie" he added.

He also hinted at a possible fourth film, though admitted he admits he fears that "eventually the well is gonna run dry".

Terrifier 3 cast

Reports have confirmed that the Art The Clown actor David Howard Thornton will return to the role, while the popular Lauren LaVera from Terrifier 2 will return as Sienna.

More interestingly, there's a confirmed return of the character of Victoria Heyes (Samantha Scaffidi) who appeared as the disfigured woman at the beginning of Terrifier and also reappeared at the end of Terrifier 2. Elliott Fullam, who played Sienna's brother in Terrifier 2, also returns. Recent cast additions include horror legend Tom Savini, Jason Patric of The Lost Boys fame, and the Ice Cream Man himself Clint Howard

Wrestler Chris Jericho has also been confirmed to be part of the third film, though there's no more news on the role he will play as yet.

When is Terrifier 3 released

The filming for the horror will began in February 2024 and reports have previously hinted the film will be launched in cinemas in time for Halloween.

While Terrifier 2 had a limited UK release, horror heads will be delighted to hear third instalment will get a UK cinema release despite his gorey and graphic killings that caused some audience members to faint. The film has a confirmed released of October 11 in the UK and Ireland.

It will screen in select cinemas in the US too.
