When it comes to Terrifier 3, a prequel confirmed and promised by Damien Leone, the writer and director of the first two Terrifier movies, the third time will prove to be more successful than the charm. Now, thanks to Leone’s official Twitter, horror fans have some hints about the intended mood and objectives for Terrifier 3.
Leone mentioned on his Twitter on December 26 one of his main goals for Terrifier 3 “is to recapture the creep factor present in the original Terrifier short film. That had a genuinely spooky atmosphere that I’m still proud of. If all goes as planned, part 3 will be the scariest Terrifier thus far.” The short film Leone speaks of is All Hallows’ Eve, a direct-to-DVD movie presented as a series of shorts discovered by a babysitter and the two kids she’s looking after. The babysitter discovers a tape in one of the kids’ Halloween bags after a night of trick or treating, and as human curiosity dictates, people who find a strange videotape must watch it, which is what they do. The tape features the murderous character of Art the Clown, doing what he does best (what else?).
In response to a fan’s question on Twitter about if he would attempt to top the “bedroom scene” from Terrifier 2 after hearing this news, Leone replied, “Of course.” Everyone who has seen Terrifier 2—and even those who haven’t—has probably heard of the notorious bedroom scene, in which Allie runs into her bedroom to try to get away from Art the Clown. She is cornered by Art, who then actually breaks her down in a fairly horrific manner. As Art tortures, murders, and leaves the victim as a grisly exhibition for her mother to find, we witness her suffering, feel her suffering, and hear her cry.
