Terrifier 3, the next installment in the Art the Clown series, will be a Christmas slasher film, adding to the beloved sub-genre of holiday horror.
The Christmas-inspired Terrifier collection from Terror Threads showcases festive designs, such as Art adorning a Christmas tree with horrifying elements. Terrifier 3 is scheduled to begin filming this winter and is anticipated to be launched in late 2024, possibly coinciding with the holiday season. Pre-orders for the Christmas collection are currently open.
Terrifier 2 is making a comeback in theaters this week, much to the delight of horror fans. The re-release is creating buzz with the release of the first teaser and poster for Terrifier 3. The third installment of Art the Clown's psychotic madness will be hitting screens next year, this time with a Christmas theme. To keep avid slasher enthusiasts entertained until then, Terror Threads has unveiled their new Christmas-themed Terrifier collection.
The collection includes two festive designs. In one design, Art can be seen adorning a Christmas tree with skulls, organs, and hearts. The other design depicts the notorious killer descending the chimney with his trademark bloody sack and an axe in hand. This particular image is reminiscent of the classic slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Night, adding to the holiday horror vibes. Both designs are available in t-shirt and Christmas sweater variations, with the Christmas tree design also offering a long sleeve option. Completing the collection are sweatpants featuring the Terrifier logo adorned with blood-covered skulls, hearts, lights, and ornaments. This is not the first time Terror Threads has paid homage to Art, as the horror-centric apparel company has previously released collections for the first two films.
Bloody Christmas Has Come to Miles County
With the official announcement of Terrifier 3 earlier this summer, excitement for the film was already at a peak. However, the recent news that the third installment will be a Christmas slasher has ignited a new level of anticipation and excitement in the horror community. Christmas-themed horror movies have gained popularity as a beloved sub-genre over the years, with films like Black Christmas, Silent Night, Deadly Night, Anna and the Apocalypse, Better Watch Out, and Christmas Bloody Christmas showcasing the holiday season going horribly wrong. The idea of Art, the killer clown, adding to this terrifying legacy during Christmas is truly thrilling. Although plot details are currently limited, the possibilities after the events of Terrifier 2 are endless. Following a massive battle with Sienna Shaw, the fan-favorite final girl who seemingly "defeated" Art, the killer clown is horrifyingly reborn through Victoria, the sole survivor of the first film. It seems that Sienna, portrayed once again by the talented Lauren LaVera, will experience the most dreadful Christmas in history. Terrifier fans can expect yet another extremely gory bloodbath, which is exactly what they desire.
