Terrifier 3 Expected To Begin Filming Toward End of 2023
Art the Clown is ready to murder some more, with the next film in the Terrifier franchise set to begin filming this year. Deadline reports that The Coven is launching worldwide sales on Terrifier 3, which will again be written and directed by Damien Leone.
The film will see David Howard Thornton (Art The Clown) and Lauren LaVera (Sienna) returning to reprise their roles, though plot details are being kept under wraps. Filming is expected to begin in November or December, with a late 2024 release planned. The film is set to get a budget in the low-to-mid seven figure range, up significantly from the $250,000 budget of Terrifier 2.
Terrifier 2 released last year and grossed $10 million domestically and $15 million worldwide for Cinedigm. The Coven’s Priscilla Smith said of new film, “There will be a much bigger budget this time around, which is intended to give the filmmakers more creative freedom, and let them be as wild as they can be. And, all jokes aside, we are going for that Oscar this year.”
Leone added, “Terrifier 3 will be another boundary pushing addition to the horror genre, continuing the no holds barred, uncompromising exploits fans of the franchise have come to expect and celebrate. If you thought Art the Clown’s reign of terror in part 2 was extreme, you haven’t seen anything yet.”
