Terrifer 4 Will Answer Questions, Even If Some Don't Want The Answers

Terrifier is the franchise nobody saw coming, as the three ultra-violent indie horror films have combined to gross an astounding $102 million worldwide. Leone has written and directed all three released films and unleashed a new horror icon into the world, Art The Clown. David Howard Thornton plays him in a performance that will go down as one of the most beloved in all of horror. All the stars aligned for this franchise to push the boundaries of what we thought mainstream audiences were willing to sit through and what can be accomplished with practical effects.

Terrifier is not my cup of tea, but damn, I respect what Leone has done. If nothing else, his films have ushered in a new era of practical effects in horror. Art The Clown is a lunatic, even more so than most slasher icons, but merch with his likeness on it is the hottest in the collectibles world. To say this was all unexpected would be an understatement.

There is no known release date yet for Terrifier 4.
