The independent terror’terrifying 2‘ (Terrifier 2) became a US box office hit, spurred on by news that several people became ill during the sessions. And with success comes more sequels.
The director Damien Leone revealed to Variety that he is already planning the next film.
“I already had a Part 3 in mind when writing Part 2. We raised a lot of questions in the second film that went unanswered. I pretty much have the whole story ready for the third one, but it’s getting so big that we might even have a fourth movie.”
After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to Miles County, where he must hunt down and destroy a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.
The director says he never imagined the franchise would become so successful.
Enjoy watching:
“It’s surreal. It snowballed, the word of mouth marketing, people getting sick and passing out in the session… I never imagined the movie would make millions of dollars in theaters.”
Leone thinks the franchise can attract attention from major studios.
“It would be awesome to get a real Hollywood makeup company to do the special effects. It would help the work a lot and make it more realistic,” he said.
So far, the feature remains without a premiere date in theaters and streaming in Brazil, but moviegoers can check out the first film in the franchise that is available on streaming platforms.
‘terrifying‘ is available in Brazil at look and for rent in YouTube, Microsoft and Apple iTunes.

Watching #Terrifier2 my friend just threw up and then passed out. I’ve counted five walk outs so far. I’m loving it 🤷♂️

Holy shit! #Terrifier2 was fantastic! Definitely not for the weak stomachs! Someone actually fainted during my screening of this movie. Art the Clown is a horror icon now. @_LaurenLaVera_ is an absolute badass final girl! Support this film! @damienleone you’re amazing! 4.5/5
