Terrifier 4 to Reveal Art the Clown’s Backstory in the First 15 Minutes

by

As a die-hard fan of horror flicks, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about the next installment in the Terrifier series! The man behind the camera, director Damien Leone, has spilled the beans that Terrifier 4 will delve deep into the chilling origins of our favorite killer clown, Art the Clown. You know him as the sinister mastermind who’s been causing chaos in Miles County, New York, since the first three movies. With Terrifier 3 set to hit theaters in 2024, Leone has confirmed that another Terrifier movie is underway! Can’t wait to see more of Art the Clown and his terrifying antics!

During a conversation with 3C Films at Texas Frightmare Weekend, Leone hints at Art the Clown’s background in the upcoming film, “Terrifier 4.” Not only does the next installment promise to delve into the backstory of this menacing clown, but Leone guarantees that it will be unveiled within the first 15 minutes of the movie. Here are some of his remarks:

[Leone’s Comments]
“I can’t give away too much about Terrifier 4, but I can tell you this – we’re going to dive deep into Art the Clown’s history. In fact, we’ll be revealing it in the first 15 minutes of the film.”

“The fans have been eagerly waiting for more information on Art, and we’re excited to finally deliver. We wanted to give them something right from the start, something that sets the tone for the rest of the movie.

Prepare yourself as you’ll encounter something extraordinary – absolutely unforgettable! There’s no room for letdown here. In just the opening quarter-hour, you’ll delve into Art’s compelling past.

What Leone’s Comments Mean For Terrifier 4

Terrifier 4 Won’t Purely Focus On Art’s Origin

In the final moments of “Terrifier 3”, Sienna’s relative Gabbie plunges into a portal to Hell accompanied by a sword capable of vanquishing Art, while the menacing clown embarks on a city bus, maintaining his reign of terror over Miles County residents. Director Leone hints that “Terrifier 4” may start with Art’s background, but positioning the backstory at the beginning implies that the origin tale functions more as a setup for the main narrative rather than the central focus of the movie.

Leone hinted that Terrifier 4 will maintain a balance between grisly murders and storyline, which aligns with his previous comments. The fact that just 15 minutes are allocated to reveal Art’s murderer background implies that this backstory could be used to further enhance the film’s already gruesome kills as Sienna strives to rescue her cousin. It seems that Leone envisions some “extraordinary” kill scenes for the forthcoming movie.

Our Take On Art The Clown’s Backstory In Terrifier 4

The First 15 Minutes Is The Perfect Time To Tell Art’s Origin Story

In the Terrifier series, the background of Art the Clown has remained a secret, making it intriguing as to what his true origins will be revealed in Terrifier 4. One idea suggests that Art was previously a human serial killer, while another posits him as an otherworldly entity. It seems that the showdown between Art and his adversaries could happen within the first quarter of the upcoming movie, set to hit theaters in October 2026.

*Title III of “Terrifier” has established an ideal scene for the forthcoming fourth film.
Sienna won’t abandon her cousin in the underworld, so she may need to travel through another realm.
The details aren’t clear yet, but with Terrifier 4 likely being the final chapter of this series, the disclosure of Art’s murderer’s origin seems like an excellent starting point for the film. In this movie, fans might witness Art finally being defeated.*
