Popcorn buckets are all the rage right now with several sparking controversy, including this gem for Dune: Part Two. Studios continue to push the envelope with rumors that the bucket for Deadpool & Wolverine will be nothing short of “intentionally crude and lewd,” teased Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. But what about horror?
Horror fans hope to see a Terrifier popcorn bucket available in theaters nationwide when Terrifier 3 releases this fall. Over the weekend, a hardcore fan launched a petition to raise awareness for a potential Terrifier 3 popcorn bucket. I immediately fantasized about eating pink popcorn out of Art the Clown’s head.
What would you want to see out of a Terrifier popcorn bucket? Damien Leone and Phil Falcone’s third film is Christmas-themed so I’m sure there’s no shortage of cool ideas.

Luckily I was surrounded by the greatest cast & crew who kept me motivated and enthusiastic throughout.

Daniel Roebuck has racked up over 250 credits over the course of a career that has lasted nearly 40 years so far, and our friends at Bloody Disgusting have just broken the news that one of his next credits will be on writer/director Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3, which is set to receive a theatrical release on October 25th. According to the site, Roebuck will be appearing in the film as Santa Claus. It seems fitting, because Roebuck was already in Santa mode for a family-friendly movie called Saint Nick of Bethlehem, which he co-wrote and co-directed. That movie will be released later this year as well.
Roebuck provided the following statement: “I’ve been holding this secret for a long time! I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.“

Speak No Evil: "When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare.
From Blumhouse, the producer of The Black Phone, Get Out and The Invisible Man, comes an intense suspense thriller for our modern age, starring BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy in a riveting performance as the charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammeled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness.
Speak No Evil stars Mackenzie Davis and SAG award-winner Scoot McNairy as American couple Louise and Ben Dalton, who, along with their 11-year-old daughter Agnes, accept the weekend-holiday invitation of Paddy (McAvoy), his wife Ciara and their furtive, mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough).

Writer/director Damien Leone had a budget of around $55,000 to work with on his breakout horror film Terrifier, and a budget of “a little over” $250,000 for Terrifier 2, which was a massive hit when it was released last year, earning $15.1 million at the box office. The release of the second film went so well, it’s no surprise to hear (via Variety) that the companies behind these movies – Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting – are re-teaming with the distribution banner Iconic Events Releasing for the theatrical release of Terrifier 3 on October 25th. While Variety was reporting on the theatrical distribution, the film’s star Lauren Lavera was taking to social media to share a picture that was taken of her on the set of Terrifier 3.

Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting are reteaming with Iconic Events Releasing as the theatrical distribution partner for Terrifier 3 from filmmakers Damien Leone and Phil Falcone.
First reported by Variety this afternoon, the Terrifier 3 announcement was made at CinemaCon, taking place this week in Las Vegas, and as the film wraps production in New Jersey.
Terrifier 3 will release in theaters nationwide this year!
We previously partnered on distribution for Terrifier 2, 2022’s instant cult slasher sensation, which was produced on a micro-budget and went on to scare up more than $15 million at the global box office, generating significant buzz and a scary amount of press coverage, and popping up everywhere from Saturday Night Live and Bupkis to rap lyrics and ugly holiday sweaters.

Art the Clown will be back for Halloween this fall, with some help from Iconic Events Releasing. The distribution banner has partnered with Cineverse and its horror division Bloody Disgusting to handle theatrical distribution on “Terrifier 3,” the next entry in the ongoing cult horror series.
Announced at CinemaCon Tuesday morning, the partnership between the companies marks a continuation from “Terrifier 2,” which Iconic Events distributed theatrically in 2022. That feature earned more than $15 million at the global box office, marking a huge return on its scrappy $250,000 production budget.
“Iconic absolutely crushed it for us with ‘Terrifier 2,’” said Brad Miska, Cineverse VP of business development and managing director of Bloody Disgusting. “When the film went viral, they did a tremendous job keeping up with the hype and helped us secure thousands of screens across the country.

Writer/director Damien Leone had a budget of around $55,000 to work with on his breakout horror film Terrifier, and a budget of “a little over” $250,000 for Terrifier 2, which was a massive hit when it was released last year, earning $15.1 million at the box office. Since the second film did so well, Terrifier 3 (which is scheduled to reach theatres on October 25, 2024, courtesy of Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting) has a substantially higher budget. A “couple million” is going into this one, which is now deep into production – and earlier this morning, Leone took to social media with an update, revealing that he and his cast and crew “just filmed one of the most insanely horrific scenes of the Terrifier franchise and you’ll never believe who couldn’t handle it on set. The behind-the-scenes is hilarious. Can’t wait for you all to see!“

Creator/director of the "Terrifier" series, Damien Leone originally developed Art the Clown as one of many ghoulish antagonists for the short films "The 9th Circle" (2008) and "Terrifier" (2011). The blood-thirsty antagonist, who was inspired by iconic horror killers, then took center stage in 2013's "All Hallows' Eve," wherein two kids and their babysitter discover an unmarked VHS tape that showcased the homicidal clown's gruesome deeds. But it wasn't until 2016 that David Howard Thornton took over the role from the original Art actor, Mike Gianelli, for the first official "Terrifier" movie.
In the film, Art wreaks havoc on Halloween night as he hunts down Tara Heyes (Jenna Kanell) and her sister Victoria (Samantha Scaffidi). Unfortunately, as /Film's Chris Evangelista put it in his "Terrifier 2" review, the first official installment in the "Terrifier" canon was "little more than a plotless, storyless, valueless excuse to showcase gore and not much else."

"Terrifier" is the little slasher series that could. Writer-director Damien Leone harnessed decades of horror movie history to imbue his low-budget breakout with not just heaps of blood and uber-violence, but a subversive sense of whimsy as well. As a result, "Terrifier" remains one of this century's most successful indie horror titles. Its sequel, "Terrifier 2," carved out a success story all its own. In October 2022, that second installment pulled more than $10 million at the domestic box office. For reference, "Terrifier 2" is a two-and-a-half hour long gorefest. That's no chump change for what's arguably the bloodiest slasher movie of the decade.
It all goes back to the original, however, and without "Terrifier," there would be no franchise (including the upcoming Christmas-themed "Terrifier 3"). Damien Leone first conceived of Art the Clown for the 2008 short "The 9th Circle." Art would later appear in one additional short and two anthology segments...

Art the Clown is moving from Halloween to Christmas horror in the first trailer for “Terrifier 3.”
David Howard Thornton’s diabolical mime will return with more gore in the third installment of the clown-centered horror series. Created and directed by Damien Leone, the franchise features the unsettlingly silent clown as the perpetrator of some seriously gruesome killings. The “Terrifier 3” trailer first debuted in theaters after special screenings of 2022’s “Terrifier 2.”
The second film in the horror franchise saw fierce teenager Sienna Shaw (Lauren Lavera) going to battle with Art. Although Sienna managed to decapitate the clown, the ending revealed that it wasn’t the last audiences would see of him, as Victoria Heyes (Samantha Scaffidi), the only survivor of the first film’s Halloween massacre, gave birth to Art’s decapitated living head in a mental institution.
In anticipation of the third film, “Terrifier 2” expanded more on the mythology of Art.

Although Sienna managed to decapitate the clown, the ending revealed that it wasn’t the last audiences would see of him, as Victoria Heyes (Samantha Scaffidi), the only survivor of the first film’s Halloween massacre, gave birth to Art’s decapitated living head in a mental institution.
In anticipation of the third film, “Terrifier 2” expanded more on the mythology of Art.

Damien Leone's "Terrifier 2" provided the world with one of the great cinematic success stories of 2022. Made for a tony budget of only $250,000, "Terrifier 2" caused a stir when reports began to emerge of its extreme gore causing some audience members to become sick or faint in theaters. This notoriety attracted more and more curious ticket-buyers, allowing the film to ultimately rack up over $15 million in box office receipts. "Terrifier 2" will be re-released in theaters today, November 1, 2023, to assure that all bloodthirsty looky-loos will have a chance to test their mettle.
"Terrifier 2" is a gore flick that features a lanky, mute, monstrous clown named Art (David Howard Thornton). Art has appeared in numerous features and shorts over the years, and has already worked his way into the established canon of popular horror movie villains. In his latest outing, Art is resurrected and goes on his usual killing spree,...

Art the Clown is slashing his way back to theaters, with the first Terrifier movie set to hit 700 screens on July 19, the widest release the horror feature has ever received.
Released in 2018, Terrifier was written and directed by Damien Leone and starred David Howard Thornton as the twisted killer Art the Clown opposite Jenna Kanell, Samantha Scaffidi and Catherine Corcoran.

Earlier this year, Kevin Smith purchased the movie theatre he used to go to in his youth, the Atlantic Moviehouse at 82 First Avenue in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, and turned it into Smodcastle Cinemas. Last month, Bill MacKay (@Barbarian_Pug on Twitter) tweeted out the idea of Smith hosting a Terrifier double feature at Smodcastle Cinemas, with director and cast Q&As… and Smith quickly turned that idea into a reality! There will indeed be a Terrifier and Terrifier 2 double feature at Smodcastle Cinemas on December 10th, starting at 7pm, and tickets are available at This Link. The price to attend the double feature will make a lot of sense to Smith fans: it’s 37 dollars.
Smith will be moderating Q&As with the cast and crew for both of the films.
On December 10th!

In a year stacked with tremendous horror films like "Nope," "X," and "Barbarian," there's one, in particular, that's become an unprecedented indie sensation. Put together for 250,000, the ultra gory splatter flick "Terrifier 2" has currently earned over 10 million at the box office. The brutal slayings of Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) have been haunting the world of independent horror since 2008, but the influx of eye-catching headlines about people fainting and vomiting during screenings has turned the pantomime slasher into an overnight phenomenon. He's not quite on the level of Leatherface or Jason Voorhees, but it's only a matter of time until he joins the slasher hall of fame.
Art is the kind of slasher where, if he catches you in his sights, you're likely already dead. Thornton is such a force in the makeup that, even if he wasn't flaying people beyond belief,...

Exploitation films often thrive among cult audiences who hold a reverence for a bygone era of filmmaking, which makes it even more fascinating to see the "Terrifier" films blow up in popularity. Although, it's not entirely difficult to see why. The brutal slasher film series revolves around Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton), a sadistic pantomime killer whose affinity for mutilating the human body is boundless. If Art catches wind of you alone at night, you might as well accept that you're going to die an unimaginably painful death.
With the release of "Terrifier 2" garnering headlines regarding the bodily reactions of people seeing it in theaters, a new addition to the slasher hall of fame is well on its way. Although he doesn't speak, what makes Art such an interesting screen killer is his ability to mimic the screen clowns of the silent era. Thornton's dedicated performance answers the question,...
