French distributor The Coven has launched world sales on “Terrifier 3,” follow-up to last year’s unlikely breakout box office success “Terrifier 2”.
Made for just $250,000, the film ended up earning more than $15 million at the global box office and scored very positive reviews from both critics and audiences.
That film follows Art the Clown who, after being resurrected by a sinister entity, returns to the quiet town of Miles County where he targets a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.
Noted for its extreme gore and practical effects, the incredibly bloody film’s writer-director Damien Leone and producer Phil Falcone will return to oversee this continuation of the franchise.
Also expected back are David Howard Thornton as Art The Clown and Lauren LaVera as Sienna, whilst the budget is set to score a significant increase into the low-mid seven figure range – the aim being to “give the filmmakers more creative freedom”.
Plot details are under wraps and filming is expected to get underway in November or December for release in late 2024.
