After terrorizing theaters with his blood-soaked Christmas rampage, Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is set to claim Valentine’s Day as his next holiday hunting ground. Terrifier 3 will make its streaming debut on Screambox on February 14, just four months after its record-breaking theatrical run. The unrated slasher phenomenon dominated 2024’s October box office with an $89.9 million haul against a modest $2 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing unrated film of all time and Cineverse’s most successful release to date. The film’s extreme content made headlines worldwide, with multiple reports of audiences fainting and vomiting during screenings around the world.
As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I can’t help but marvel at the groundbreaking success of “Terrifier 3”. Breaking new ground in the realm of theatrical horror releases, this film dared to eschew a Motion Picture Association rating, instead opting to preserve its gritty, uncompromising vision. This bold move saw theaters categorizing it as an R-rated production, effectively barring viewers under 17 without adult supervision.
Defying expectations, “Terrifier 3” managed to rake in a whopping $18.9 million on its opening weekend from no less than 2,514 theaters, outperforming major studio contenders such as “Joker: Folie à Deux”. What’s more, this stunning achievement was accomplished with a modest budget. Cineverse invested less than $5 million in acquiring and promoting the film, with advertising costs amounting to a mere $500,000.
In essence, “Terrifier 3” defied the odds, delivering a horror masterpiece that resonated with audiences despite the barriers placed upon it. It serves as a testament to the power of unwavering vision and creative daring in the world of cinema.
The movie set on Valentine’s Day, “Art the Clown” continues its trend of horror stories tied to holidays, as the murderer switches from his bloody Christmas rampage to potentially spoiling the romantic experiences of Screambox viewers. The film centers around Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera) as she tries to rebuild her life while being hunted by Art and his new partner, Victoria Heyes who is now possessed, resulting in some of the most violent scenes yet within the franchise.
Terrifier 4 Will End the Horror Saga Saga
With Terrifier 3 poised to send shivers down the spines of streaming viewers, the course of the franchise has been outlined. The series’ creator Damien Leone has confirmed that Terrifier 4 will wrap up the story of Art the Clown. Fans can expect to uncover more about the enigmatic killer’s past and his actions before the first film, as the fourth installment is set for release on January 29, 2025. This definitive announcement comes following several months of speculation about whether the tale would need one or two more episodes to reach its conclusion.
The choice to conclude the Terrifier series with its fourth installment occurs during a time of significant growth for the Terrifier universe. Originally produced as a small-scale independent film, it has now transformed into a recognized horror franchise. Merchandise featuring Art the Clown is a common sight in Halloween stores, and the brand’s popularity continues to grow. Going beyond traditional merchandise, the franchise is branching out into interactive entertainment with Terrifier: The ARTcade Game, which is being developed by Relevo and published by Selecta Play. This beat-’em-up style game, slated for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms, will enable players to assume the role of the notorious killer clown in a narrative that takes place within the movie sets depicting his own violent acts.
Before making its streaming premiere, the film has shown resilience in the home entertainment market, quickly reaching the top spot on Blu-ray charts during its first week of digital release. Now, it’s time for the movie to captivate Screambox viewers, extending its relevance as Art works on Terrifier 4, ensuring that the film remains significant in the horror genre.
