“The festive season quickly unravels as Art unleashes his twisted brand of terror, proving that no holiday is safe.”

Returning cast includes Lauren LaVera (Sienna), Samantha Scaffidi (Victoria Heyes), Elliot Fullam (Jonathan Shaw) and AEW superstar Chris Jericho (Burke), with Daniel Roebuck set to debut as Santa Claus. Makeup effects legend Tom Savini, Jason Patric, Antonella Rose, Krsy Fox, Clint Howard, and Jon Abrahams also appear.

Terrifier 3 has slashed its way into theaters nationwide, and horror fans are showing up in droves! Damien Leone’s highly anticipated Christmas-themed slasher sequel kicked off with a massive $2.6 million in Thursday night previews, debuting in 2,000 U.S. locations, with 1,400 of them featuring an epic double-bill of Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3.

Beginning today, the bloodbath expands even further, now playing in 2,514 locations across the U.S. and Canada. To put this in perspective, Terrifier 3’s impressive $2.6 million opening night haul has already outpaced the Thursday night preview numbers of major studio horror releases like Smile ($2 million) and Evil Dead Rise ($2.5 million). For a low-budget, indie horror film without the muscle of a big studio behind it, this is an unprecedented achievement. It’s even nipping at the heels of this year’s indie darling Longlegs ($3 million).

Art the Clown is back, and thanks to you—his loyal fanbase—he’s taking the box office by storm. Leone himself took to Instagram to share his gratitude, saying, “It was wild seeing so many fans in theaters last night with sunflower glasses, Terrifier shirts, and Art the Clown stuffed animals. It felt like a phenomenon straight from the ’80s. You guys are the best!”

What makes this even more impressive is that the marketing campaign for Terrifier 3 has been almost entirely fan-driven. No splashy studio promotions—just grassroots support from horror lovers everywhere. Fans have been the heartbeat of this film, and the energy surrounding it is electric.

Set on Christmas Eve, Terrifier 3 picks up with survivors Sienna (Lauren LaVera) and her brother Jonathan (Elliot Fullam) as they attempt to move on from the horrors of Art the Clown’s Halloween massacre. But just when they think they’re safe, Art returns to turn their holiday cheer into a fresh nightmare. Expect brutal kills, twisted terror, and a festive season unlike any other!

With returning cast members Samantha Scaffidi, AEW superstar Chris Jericho, and new faces like Daniel Roebuck (as Santa Claus), the film promises a blend of old and new in its relentless quest to terrorize.

So, are you ready for round three with Art the Clown? Grab your popcorn (and maybe some nerve-steadying candy canes) and get your tickets to Terrifier 3 this weekend.
