The wait is finally over, Terrifier 3 is releasing on digital platforms after its theatrical release on October 11, 2024. It is written and directed by Damien Leone, who also directed the first two installments and produced by Phil Falcone. This third chapter took the terrifying antics of Art the Clown to the extreme.
David Howard Thornton again portrayed Art the Clown, the role he cemented in Terrifier 2, alongside Samantha Scaffidi as Victoria Heyes and Lauren LaVera as Sienna Shaw.
Cineverse Studios announced that Terrifier 3 will be available to stream on digital platforms on Tuesday, November 26. The Terrifier series had grown incredibly, from cult status to a phenomenon. Terrifier 1 from 2016, made on a very shoestring budget of $100,000, introduced fans to Art the Clown and garnered a devoted fanbase organically.
Its sequel in 2022, Terrifier 2, advanced that franchise even further with a better budget of $250,000 and somehow raked in an impressive $15 million at the box office, mainly driven by word-of-mouth and tight screenplay. And now, the third rendition takes things to a whole new level.
How to watch Terrifer 3 at home? Digital release explored
Movie analysts reported Terrifier 3 as an example, of how a low-budget horror franchise can be a blockbuster if done right! With a budget of $2 million, the movie grossed $41.5 million within 10 days from opening, exceeding the lifetime gross of its previous installments.
As of November 25, 2024, the movie has brought in $54 million in the USA, and Canada and $33.3 million from other countries for a total worldwide gross revenue of $87.3 million.
The movie can be pre-ordered on Amazon Prime with a price of $24.99. Physical media releases, including DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD are scheduled for sale from December 17, 2024, onwards at $17.99 to $29.99.
Terrifier 3 - What to expect? and The main cast
This time, Terrifier 3 brings out something chillingly unexpected: Art is dressed in a Santa suit and can be seen in the trailer blowing up a mall full of holiday shoppers and kids, taking his chaos to a whole new level.
The movie doesn't just serve gore- it's layered with twists, including a cryptic reference to Sienna's father and his mysterious warrior sword. Fans have been abuzz since the trailer dropped, wondering how these connections will play out.
“The way it's executed could be very off-putting where you can just alienate basically the entire audience. That's a disservice to the casual horror movie fan (and) to Art the Clown as a character, because I do think he has more mass appeal than just a niche splatter fest.” said Damien Leone during an interview with USA TODAY on October 12, 2024.
