You may need an iron stomach to get through Terrifier 3.
If you thought Terrifier 2 was the most gruesome the franchise was ever going to get, you’d be mistaken. Filmmaker Damien Leone says there’s one scene so disgusting in October’s Terrifier 3, it nearly made Art the Clown throw up. Leone shared a tease of the particularly disgusting moment on Twitter, before Art actor David Howard Thornton confirmed in a Facebook comment he was the one Leone was talking about.
“Can honestly say we just filmed one of the most insanely horrific scenes of the Terrifier franchise and you’ll never believe who couldn’t handle it on set,” Leone tweeted. “The bts is hilarious. Can’t wait for you all to see!”

Leone’s latest comments mirror previous ones the director’s made, saying the threequel will push the boundaries even further than the franchise’s first two installments.
“Terrifier 2‘s remarkable success was driven not only by the insatiable appetite for new and thrilling horror icons like Art the Clown but also by its unparalleled theatrical release and marketing, along with its unyielding spirit,” Leone shared of the release earlier this year. “In a cinematic landscape where risk-taking is scarce, I will continue to push boundaries in Terrifier 3,and I can’t wait for you to see what’s in store for Art the Clown.”
