Despite some time away from the theatrical release, Terrifier 3 has already generated comprehensive buzz. The movie premiered at the Fantastic Fest, where it was met with a standing ovation. Art the Clown will be seen taking over the house of a suburban family on Christmas Eve.

According to Lad Bible, his first scene in the movie has already been said to be the scariest introduction scene ever produced. Further, its screening at the fest had a total of nine walkouts. Director Damien Leone claimed the following about his work:

“I got to meet with studios, like legit Hollywood studios, who wanted to make Terrifier 3. But before I even had a script, just having meetings and getting the feel that I was going to have eyes over my shoulders, and they were concerned about the levels of gore and this and that. I knew they weren't going to let me make this movie based on the first five pages. Like, that's how insane Terrifier 3 is."

Reports have also claimed that one viewer vomited during the movie's first five minutes. While the first scene was initially rejected, Leone could only get the film approved by Cineverse after presenting the entire script.
