Terrifier 3 director Damien Leone recalls a studio’s attempt to acquire the franchise and reduce the level of gore. Reduced in 2016, the first Terrifier movie introduced audiences to Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton), following the maniacal killer as he goes on a very bloody murder spree. The film was a surprise indie hit, and Art recently returned in the successful Terrifier 2 in 2022. Now, Leone is gearing up for the release of Terrifier 3, which chronicles Art’s further murderous adventures and is, like its predecessors, not rated by the MPA.
