  • Terrifier 3 starring Art the Clown has become successful, making over $49 million.

As a devoted fan of horror movies who’s seen my fair share of slasher flicks and survived countless jump scares, I can confidently say that Terrifier 3 has left me utterly spellbound! The return of Art the Clown has been nothing short of terrifying yet exhilarating. With over $49 million in box office earnings, it’s clear that this twisted tale is resonating with audiences worldwide.


This month saw the cinema release of “Terrifier 3”, which is quickly gaining recognition as the unexpected standout film of the year. The character Art the Clown, portrayed by David Howard Thornton, is now making waves in the horror genre and that’s no small feat in the year 2024. With its release, “Terrifier 3” has raised the bar for Art the Clown like never before.

The film has earned more than $49 million globally at the box office, an impressive sum given its modest production cost. Notably, the recent addition to Damien Leone’s Terrifier series was the priciest yet among their indie-genre body horror productions, with a budget of $5 million.

In a chat with Entertainment Weekly, filmmaker Leone hinted at plans for a longer version of “Terrifier 3,” a surprise move for fans. He mentioned that there’s a strong possibility we’ll see this extended cut in the future. However, he expressed that it’s not something he’s overly excited about and also suggested that many fans might not be thrilled with this decision.

Based on Leone’s statements, it appears that he may be planning to create an extended edition of “Terrifier 3.” However, his comments suggest a lack of enthusiasm for this project and doubts about fan satisfaction. This seems unusual because, considering the number of people who have watched the film, one might expect fans to be excited at the prospect of more gruesome scenes featuring Art the Clown in an extended version of “Terrifier 3.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I can’t help but feel Leone might be hesitant about delving into the untouched scenes from the ‘editing’ room for this extended version. Typically, directors would relish the prospect of expanding their films. They often find joy in weaving as many storylines as possible, and the challenge lies in deciding which pieces to remove. An extended cut of a movie offers filmmakers the liberty to express their complete narrative vision without constraints. However, it’s worth noting that this isn’t always advantageous. A film can sometimes gain from a bit of pruning, as it streamlines the story and enhances pacing.

It’s intriguing to find out how the extended edition of Terrifier 3 will be received by fans and whether they will appreciate it or not. Regardless of the outcome, this longer version of the film is bound to include more gruesome scenes featuring Art the Clown, chainsaws, hammers, and whatever other deadly tools he chooses to wield against his unfortunate victims.

Terrifier 3 is available to watch in cinemas around the globe right now.
