Since its release in 2016, Damien Leone‘s Terrifier has become a bonafide cult classic. The slasher gave Art the Clown his own film and delivered some of the nastiest kills in slasher history.
Since then, the horror community has been clamoring for more and has expressed their love in various ways with costumes, toys, fan art, merch, and more. Many even immortalized Art the Clown by tattooing him on their body.
On the cusp of breaking pop culture, Damien Leone is back with Terrifier 2, a sprawling follow-up that horror fans quite simply aren’t ready for. Art the Clown is more brutal than ever with Terrifier 2 delivering some of the most jaw-dropping kills we have ever witnessed.
In fact, Terrifier 2 ups the ante in just about every way and is going to quite literally blow minds this Halloween season.
Here’s more info on Terrifier 2:
From Writer/Director Damien Leone (All Hallows’ Eve), the highly anticipated sequel to the cult-favorite slasher film, welcomes back David Howard Thornton as the demonic killer, Art the Clown. Terrifier 2 also introduces Lauren LaVera as Sienna, who will become an instant fan favorite. Also returning is Samantha Scaffidi who will reprise her role as Victoria Heyes. Horror icon Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp) also makes an appearance.
Terrifier 2 has Art the Clown up to his old tricks once again. Following his gruesome demise in the first film, a sinister presence has brought Art back to life to rein terror on the residents of Miles County. On Halloween night, he returns to the unassuming town and sets his sights on fresh prey: a teenage girl and her little brother, portrayed by LaVera and Elliott Fullam, respectively.
The film marks the fifth on-screen appearance of Art the Clown. Originally created for a pair of low-budget shorts, the character made his feature-length debut in Leone’s 2013 hit All Hallows’ Eve. His iconic look, plus the personality and humor he exudes, changed the way we look at killer clowns forever. The sadistic clown went on to become a cult-horror icon with various pop culture merchandise companies selling masks, costumes, enamel pins, air fresheners, figurines, and even ugly Christmas sweaters.
“Just like our incredible fan base, Bloody Disgusting immediately recognized the film’s franchise potential and acknowledged Art the Clown as a new and formidable presence in the genre,” said director Damien Leone. “It was encouraging to find the perfect home for our batshit crazy, no holds barred, balls-to-the-wall horror film after three arduous years of production, a global pandemic and endless gallons of blood.
“Our goal was to create a horror film that was boundary-pushing, fresh yet old-school and demented as hell,” Leone adds. “You know…a film you can take the kids to! We are thrilled to finally answer that once dreaded question…”So, when does Terrifier 2 come out?!”
“The Terrifier franchise embodies everything that’s great about the iconic slasher flicks of the 80s and 90s,” said Bloody Disgusting and SCREAMBOX Managing Director Brad Miska. “It’s nostalgic, it’s dark, it’s bloody, so it’s no wonder the movie—and especially Art the Clown—have become a staple for horror and Halloween fans alike. Fans are not prepared for what they’re about to experience.”
Terrifier 2 is developed by Dark Age Cinema and Fuzz on the Lens Productions and features an original score by Paul Wiley. The film is produced by Steven Della Salla, Phil Falcone, Jason Leavy and Michael Leavy. Executive producers include Cairo Ben Amen II, Joshua Anderson, Steven Caruso, Lisa Falcone, Hank Greenberg, Marcus McGill, Thomas Smith, and Steven Barton. The deal was negotiated by Brandon Hill on behalf of Screambox & Bloody Disgusting and Priscilla Smith of The Coven on behalf of the filmmakers.
