Not much has been shared about the plot of Terrifier 3, but that's not really the focus of these movies. What fans can expect is more of the intense, gory scenes that the franchise is known for. With the largest budget in the franchise's history, it looks like the upcoming third installment will be even more daring and gruesome, promising an unforgettable experience with Art.
A few familiar faces are set to make a comeback in Terrifier 3, with Lauren LaVera reprising her role as Sienna. Chris Jericho has also confirmed his return as Burke, but he has hinted that Burke's fate might not be a long one in the upcoming film. In an interview with MovieWeb, Jericho teases that while Burke may not stick around for too long, the movie will ramp up the excitement even more. Take a look at the expected cast members in the chart below:
Actor | Terrifier 3 Character |
---|---|
Lauren LaVera | Sierra |
David Howard Thornton | Art the Clown |
Samantha Scaffidi | Victoria Heyes |
Margaret Anne Florence | Jessica |
Elliot Fullam | Jonathan Shaw |
Chris Jericho | Burke |
Leone has shared that he is making an effort to keep the runtime of his latest sequel under two hours. He has also mentioned that the supernatural aspects in the film will be toned down compared to the previous installment. Despite the success of Terrifier 2 at the box office, Leone is using this experience to learn and improve for a potential third movie. From the recent set images of Terrifier 3, it is evident that fans can still expect plenty of gory scenes featuring Art the Clown.
Editor's P/S:
The upcoming Terrifier 3 promises to be a thrilling and horrifying experience for fans of the franchise. The set photos provide a tantalizing glimpse of Art the Clown's holiday-themed return, and the promise of a larger budget and even more intense and gruesome scenes has me eagerly anticipating its release.
While the lack of plot details may leave some curious, the Terrifier series has always been more about the visceral experience than the narrative. The return of familiar faces, including Lauren LaVera and Chris Jericho, adds an element of continuity while also hinting at potential surprises. I'm excited to see how Damien Leone builds upon the success of Terrifier 2 and delivers a truly unforgettable installment that will cement Art the Clown's status as an iconic horror figure.
