Terrifier is Damien Leone’s independent extreme-horror franchise about Art the Clown, a silent killer whose practical gore and unnerving performance drive three connected films. Start with Terrifier (2016), continue with Terrifier 2 (2022), and finish with Terrifier 3 (2024).
What is Terrifier about?
The series follows Art the Clown, a mute murderer who communicates through exaggerated gestures, props and facial expressions rather than dialogue. Damien Leone created the character and writes and directs the main films. The movies are built as uncompromising, ultra-gory horror, with practical-effects spectacle forming a central part of their identity. They are not family viewing.

The first film establishes Art’s persona and the franchise’s unusually graphic style. Terrifier 2 broadens the mythology and follows Sienna, a survivor whose story continues into Terrifier 3. The third film moves the action to Christmas Eve in Miles County, rather than treating the series as a reboot or anthology.

- David Howard Thornton plays Art the Clown.
- Lauren LaVera plays Sienna, the survivor at the center of the second and third films.
- Damien Leone is the writer-director and creator of the franchise.
- Phil Falcone produced Terrifier 3.

Why did Terrifier 2 become a breakout hit?
Two figures explain the unusual scale of its success: Cineverse reported a production cost of $250,000 and more than $15 million worldwide in box office in a 2023 announcement. Those are company-reported figures, not a universal accounting audit.
Leone attributed the result partly to audiences’ desire for new horror villains and to the film’s “unprecedented theatrical release and its uncompromising nature.” The combination of a distinctive silent killer, extreme practical gore and an unusually visible theatrical rollout helped a low-budget sequel become a recognizable horror event.
Rank #3
Terrifier 3 opened to about $18.3 million in North America, according to the Associated Press in 2024. That opening indicates how far the audience had grown by the third installment, but it should not be confused with the film’s final worldwide total.
Where can you watch Terrifier 3?
The official Terrifier 3 site currently lists the film on SCREAMBOX and links to digital purchase stores. Catalogs and rights vary by country and can change, so check the service’s listing for your territory immediately before watching.
Rank #4
- After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to Miles County where he targets a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.
