Art the Clown has never been afraid to paint the town red in the first two Terrifier films, but he’s taking things to the next level in Terrifier 3. This time, Art is playing Santa Claus for the people of Miles County, and his idea of holiday cheer involves murder, mayhem, and making blood angels in the new trailer.
On some level, Art is a showman, and dressing up as Santa is his way of adding some holiday flare to his murder spree. The trailer also features the return of Vicky Heyes, Art’s victim from the first film who may now be his partner in crime. Vicky survived her initial encounter with Art after he disfigured her, and she went insane before she apparently played a role in his rebirth at the end of Terrifier 2. Hopefully the new film will explain their bizarre connection.
The only one who is equipped to fight these killers is Sienna Shaw, the young woman whom Art killed in Terrifier 2. Sienna was resurrected and given the chance to defeat Art once before. She’ll have another chance in Terrifier 3, if she can withstand the combined might of Art and Vicky.
David Howard Thornton stars in the film as Art the Clown, with Samantha Scaffidi as Vicky Heyes, Lauren LaVera as Sienna Shaw, Elliot Fullam as Jonathan Shaw, and Daniel Roebuck as Santa Claus… who is presumably the guy who Art stole the costume from rather than the “real” Santa.
Terrifier 3 will hit theaters on October 11.
