Summary
Terrifier 3has been killing it at the box office since its release (pardon the pun), but it looks likeTerrifier 4might be Art the Clown’s final outing, that is, if writer and director Damien Leone is to be believed. The man behind the now-iconic independenthorrorfranchise has revealed thatTerrifier 4might be Art the Clown’s final outing on the big screen.
It’s already been revealed that Damien Leone’sTerrifier 3hastoppled Todd Phillips’Joker: Folie A Deuxat the box office, which is a huge deal considering Leone’s movie was made next to nothing, especially when you put it up against the latest DC movie. So far, the thirdTerrifierfilm has made over $30 million at the worldwide box office, which is huge considering it was made for only $5 million.Joker: Folie A Deux, on the other hand, has made over $167 million at the box office, but the film’s budget was $200 million, which means that Todd Phillips' movie has lost a significant amount of money.
Damien Leone has been talking about what’s to come in this iconic independent horror franchise he’s created, and it sounds likeTerrifier 4, which has already been confirmed, could be Art the Clown’s last outing. Here’s what Leone had to say on the matter during an interview withVariety. “There is no definitive answer at this time regarding how many more films I will make before concluding the ‘Terrifier’ saga. Personally, I can’t see it going further than one or two more films, but only time will tell,” Leone revealed. “For now, all I can say with certainty is that I know how it ends, and it will be epic,” he added.
So, it does sound as thoughTerrifier 4could be the final film in this franchise. That said, Leone hasn’t ruled out the possibility of making a fifthTerrifierfilm, which is what many fans of the movies would love to see. There is a case for saying ‘less is more’ in this sort of situation. However, these films have been attracting bigger and bigger audiences with every release, and it does seem as though people want to see more of Art the Clown, not less. It’ll be fascinating to see whether Damien Leone will be convinced to make more than just four of theseTerrifierfilms. That said, it would be an incredibly impressive run if he does end up making fiveTerrifiermovies in total.
As far as the third film is concerned, it’s undoubtedly the most shocking, and people ended upleaving the film’s opening screeningin the United Kingdom after the film’s opening scene, which is said to be the franchise’s most harrowing moment so far. The movie starts off with a very intense scene in which Art the Clown visits a family dressed as Santa Claus before their Christmas festivities. Safe to say, the now-horror icon doesn’t make it a very jolly experience for the family. Many viewers found this scene to be a step too far, so they left the screening.
