Day of the Dead actor Anthony Dileo Jr. passed away on Friday night due to complications from Covid.

A frequent collaborator of George A. Romero, Dileo played Pvt. Miguel Salazar in the 1985 zombie classic, in addition to appearing in Knightriders, Monkey Shines, and Two Evil Eyes.

Sometimes credited as Tim Dileo or Antone Dileo, the actor also played a zombie and worked as a production assistant on Tom Savini‘s remake of Night of the Living Dead, which Romero produced.

“It is with great sadness that I let you all know that my dear friend and colleague Anthony Dileo passed away last night from Covid,” Dileo‘s Day of the Dead co-star Lori Cardille shared on Facebook yesterday.

“Tim was filled with love for nature, his beloved animals, family and friends and fans. He made me laugh every day while making Day of the Dead. Tim was an accomplished pianist with a beautiful voice.

Fall in love with Art the Clown all over again when Damien Leone‘s record-breaking Terrifier 3 streams on Screambox February 14!

If you’re not already subscribed to the Bloody Disgusting-powered horror streaming service, this Screambox Starter Pack highlights ten terrifying titles to tide you over until Terrifier 3.

Project Wolf Hunting

Project Wolf Hunting is a hyper-violent South Korean genre bender that packs action, sci-fi, horror, and thriller aspects into a gory mashup of Con Air, The Raid, and Resident Evil. According to writer-director Kim Hong-Sun, the production went through 2.5 tons of blood — enough to make Art the Clown blush.

The high-octane gorefest is set aboard a cargo ship transporting dangerous convicts who orchestrate an escape attempt against the heavily armed guards. But the fugitives aren’t the most dangerous thing aboard the ship, as below deck there lurks a superhuman killing machine dubbed Alpha.

For more hyper-violence, Screambox has Blood Feast,...

After the enormous success of Terrifier 3, there never should have been any doubt that Damien Leone would be hard at work on Terrifier 4 as soon as possible. The writer/director took to X today to show off the script for Terrifier 4, which he promises will be “a most epic, thrilling, nasty, horrifying, emotional and utterly satisfying conclusion.” He also teased that the film will finally reveal the origin of Art the Clown, the diabolical murderer who has practiced his macabre artistry on the unwilling flesh of his victims across the franchise.

Thank you for all the bday wishes Figure I’d give you a present in return! The script for Terrifier 4 is in the works and it’s shaping up to be a most epic, thrilling, nasty, horrifying, emotional and utterly satisfying conclusion. P.s., I will finally reveal Art’s origin pic.twitter.com/TBnG...

At the world premiere of the recently released Terrifier 3, franchise writer/director Damien Leone said there will be a Terrifier 4 – and he later said he thinks that will be the last entry in the franchise, because he doesn’t want it to wear out his welcome. (Although he has gone on to admit that Terrifier 5 might be required to properly wrap up the story.) Now, he has taken to social media to declare that he’s determined to find “the sweet spot” in the balance between gore and plot.

In response to an X user writer, “The Terrifier franchise would have been better if it was less plot-based and more kill-based,” Leone wrote, “Man, these guys aren’t making it easy for me are they? It’s either ‘Terrifier has absolutely no plot and is just mindless gore’ or ‘Terrifier has too much plot and not enough gore...

On their official X account, the streaming service Screambox has announced that Terrifier 3 will debut on streaming on Valentine's Day, launching on their platform on February 14. See their post below:

Terrifier 3 3/10

Terrifier 3 follows Sienna and her brother as they attempt to move past the traumatic events of Art the Clown's Halloween massacre. As they embrace the Christmas season, Art reemerges, intent on turning their holiday into a nightmare, continuing his reign of terror.

Serial killer Ed Gein‘s heinous exploits inspired three horror classics — Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs — but Deranged offers a more faithful cinematic retelling of the true-crime story.

Also known as Deranged: Confessions of a Necrophile, the 1974 film is coming to 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray on February 25 via Vinegar Syndrome.

Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things scribe Alan Ormsby writes and co-directs with Jeff Gillen.

Roberts Scott Blossom, best known as Old Man Marley from Home Alone, stars with Cosette Lee and Leslie Carlson. A young Tom Savini served as a special effects artist.

Deranged has been newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative in Dolby Vision.

The most twisted killer in modern horror is back in Terrifier 3, now available on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Uhd, with a digital release set for 13 January. Damien Leone’s gruesome follow-up to Terrifier 2 once again pushes the boundaries of fear, leaving audiences questioning how far terror can go.

This time, the stakes are higher, the gore is heavier, and Art the Clown is more depraved than ever. Following the traumatic events of the previous film, survivor Sienna (Lauren Lavera) is haunted by horrifying visions. Despite her attempts to reclaim a semblance of peace, it becomes clear that there is no escaping Art’s insidious grip. Fueled by pure evil and a thirst for chaos, Art embarks on a savage rampage that forces Sienna and her family back into a living nightmare.

David Howard Thornton reprises his role as the sadistic Art the Clown, delivering another chilling performance that...

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre wasn’t the only Ed Gein-inspired horror film to be released in 1974. That year also saw the release of a movie called Deranged, which stuck closer to the details of the Gein case than Chain Saw did but still took plenty of dramatic liberties – and changed the name of the lead character to Ezra Cobb. Vinegar Syndrome has announced that they will be giving Deranged a 4K release later this month, and copies are available for pre-order at This Link! This release is limited to 6,000 units.

Directed by Jeff Gillen and Alan Ormsby from a screenplay written by Ormsby, Deranged features special effects by the legendary Tom Savini and tells the following story: Ezra Cobb leads a simple life on an isolated family farm with his overbearing, god-fearing mother, who spends her days ranting about the evils of women and the sins of the flesh.

One era of the Friday the 13th franchise officially came to an end on January 1st, when the servers for Friday the 13th: The Game – an awesome game that was hindered by the legal issues the franchise went through in recent years – were shut down at the request of the rights holders. Fans will no longer have the chance to play online multiplayer matches of that game with each other… but while the game now rests in peace, we still have the movies to watch over and over again. So let’s take a look at this Friday the 13th Movies Ranked list!

While this list is all in good fun, I have to admit that I found it to be surprisingly difficult to put together. That’s because the Friday the 13th franchise is my favorite of all franchises and I love every one of these films. Ranking them...

Feeling brave this holiday season? As the festive cheer winds down, it’s time to turn up the terror. Art the Clown is back, and he’s more twisted, sadistic, and relentless than ever in Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3. To celebrate the release of this bloody sequel, we’re giving away a Blu-ray copy of the film, packed with exclusive special features for the ultimate horror experience.

Following the jaw-dropping events of Terrifier 2, survivor Sienna (Lauren Lavera) is haunted by terrifying visions. Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) returns to wreak havoc on her and her family, shattering any semblance of peace they fought to regain. With his thirst for chaos and bloodshed, Art drags Sienna into an epic battle for survival that will test her limits like never before.

Featuring horror icons like Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead) and Clint Howard (Ice Cream Man), as well...

After receiving a degree in chemical engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology and a master’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney, Dolph Lundgren started his acting career with a James Bond film (A View to a Kill) in 1985, quickly followed by his iconic performance as Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, and then a string of action films. With a career spanning five decades, the man has kept busy, playing over 100 parts… and now, we have taken on the task of picking some of his best movies. Here we go:

Don’T Kill It (2016)

Directed by Mike Mendez, Don’t Kill It combines action, horror, and comedy while dropping Lundgren into the role of badass demon hunter Jebediah Woodley, who seems more interested in finding his next drink than catching demons. His vocation has brought him to Chickory Creek, Mississippi, where Christmas is being ruined...

In 1968, director George A. Romero re-defined the word “zombie” with his feature debut Night of the Living Dead, one of the most highly respected and beloved horror movies ever made. Unfortunately, Romero and his collaborators didn’t make as much money off of that film as they should have, due to a copyright mistake that instantly put Night of the Living Dead in the public domain. So twenty-two years later they decided to produce a remake with legendary special effects artist Tom Savini directing. The 1990 version of Night of the Living Dead (watch it Here) didn’t have the smoothest production – in fact, Savini has described the experience of making Night ’90 as “the worst nightmare of my life,” and says that the finished film only represents a small percentage of the vision he had for it. The rest was lost due to budgetary limitations, clashes with the producers, and the wrath of the MPAA…...

Real-life serial killers have inspired countless films and TV shows. For instance, "Psycho," "The Texas Chainsaw Saw Massacre," and "The Silence of the Lambs" are all downstream from Ed Gein, the Wisconsin factotum who committed murder, grave robbery, and other grisly crimes during the mid-1950s. These may be great films but they are all strictly inspired by serial killers rather than about them. This article considers those films that depict killers' lives close to how they were rather than creating composite characters and other inventions. It also includes films that may not be entirely faithful to the historical record but are compelling enough to give an insight into real-world killers and their crimes.

These movies aim to capture balanced insight into their subjects. Some, like "Monster," show how abuse begets abuse, whereas others, such as "Citizen X," reflect how prejudice and ideology can allow a criminal to kill unchecked.

Jason Goes To Hell was my entryway into the Friday the 13th franchise. A junior in high school, I’d recently fallen in love with Scream and overcome my childhood fear of slasher killers. My boyfriend suggested we watch one of his favorites: the 9th and purportedly “final” installment in the storied franchise. At the time I was in full agreement with Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and had no interest in a formulaic film. “What’s the point,” I quoted, “they’re all the same.” But he assured me this one was special.

I begrudgingly pushed play and was hooked from the opening scene. While opinions vary wildly about Jason Goes to Hell, there’s no doubt director Adam Marcus is swinging for the fences. The plot is joyfully bananas and ends in a smorgasbord of murderous possession, decaying bodies, magic books, and minions from hell. But amidst the B-movie lunacy,...

Art the Clown is not finished with audiences just yet. After raking in an impressive £3.5 million at the UK and Irish box office, Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3 is heading back to cinemas for one last hurrah on Thursday, 12 December. Distributed by Signature Entertainment, this festive re-release gives horror fans a final opportunity to experience the bloody spectacle on the big screen, just in time for Christmas.

The third instalment of the Terrifier series picks up where its predecessor left off, with survivor Sienna, played by Lauren Lavera, battling disturbing visions and confronting the reality that Art the Clown’s reign of terror is far from over. David Howard Thornton reprises his chilling role as Art, delivering even more depravity in what’s been described as the most intense chapter yet. Joined by a stellar cast that includes genre icons Jason Patric (The Lost Boys), Tom Savini (From Dusk Till Dawn...

Writer/director Damien Leone had a budget of around $55,000 to work with on his breakout horror film Terrifier, and a budget of “a little over” $250,000 for Terrifier 2, which was a massive hit when it was released in 2022, earning $15.1 million at the box office. Since the second film did so well, Terrifier 3 has a substantially higher budget. A “couple million” went into this one – and it paid off, as the new sequel was well-received (JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols considers the film to be the best entry in the Terrifier franchise) and proved to be a major box office success, making over $88 million worldwide. Terrifier 3 is set around Christmas, so Cineverse and Iconic Events Releasing have made the clever decision to bring the film back to theatres for screenings on December 24th and December 25th. Coming Soon reports that these special screenings “will include an introduction by filmmaker...

Written and directed by Damien Leone, this third chapter in the brutal indie franchise sees the sadistic clown unleashing his most ferocious and twisted horrors yet, proving that his reign of terror is far from over.

Silent Bite is the third exercise in seasonal slaughter from writer/actor Simon Phillips, who also gave us Once Upon a Time at Christmas and its sequel The Nights Before Christmas. While they weren’t the greatest examples of the genre, they were far from the worst as well, and they do say the third time is the charm, so I decided to kick off my Christmas viewing with it.

A gang of Santa suited bank robbers, Prancer, Grinch, Father Christmas (Simon Phillips), and Snowman, are hiding out at The Jolly Roger Inn and Resort. Despite its name, it’s a dump in the middle of nowhere, which makes it perfect for them to lie low while Rudolph leads the police on a wild good chase.

This week on The Horror Show, Sean and Joe cover Tom Savini’s Night of the Living Dead (1990) as a tribute to the late, great horror legend Tony Todd.

Before the guys get into Night of the Living Dead, they briefly go through Tony Todd’s extensive career while discussing his filmography and importance in the genre.

While Sean and Joe break down the differences between George A. Romero’s original horror classic and the 1990 remake, they tell what works for them, what doesn’t, what’s better, what’s worse, and which iteration of Night of the Living Dead they favor overall.

Rest in Peace, Tony Todd. And thank you from all of us.

Terrifier 3 ascends further still at the box office, becoming one of the highest-grossing movies of 2024 and nearly surpassing Joker: Folie Deux.

Now, Collider reports that Terrifier 3 has grossed $53 million in North America, putting it on the list of the top 30 highest-grossing movies domestically in 2024. With $16 million grossed internationally, the horror movie, which was made for only $2 million, has now grossed a staggering worldwide total of just under $70 million.

Terrifier 3's domestic total is now only about $5 million shy of Joker: Folie Deux's domestic gross of $58 million,...

Terrifier 3 director Damien Leone reflects on the significance of having iconic special effects artist Tom Savini appear in his latest horror installment. Savini, renowned for his work on horror classics like Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th, plays a cameo role in the film amid the violent holiday murder spree of Art the Clown. The third Terrifier film pushes its gore boundaries further, drawing inspiration from Savini's splatter effects and visceral style that redefined horror cinema in the '70s, '80s, and 90s. Several audience members reportedly walked-out or threw up at an early screening.

During a screening and Q&a at Philadelphia's Monster-Mania Con, wherein Screen Rant was in attendance, Leone shared some of his experiences working with Savini. For Leone, Savini's presence represented a "full-circle" moment, as the effects master's work inspired Leone's passion for practical effects and horror filmmaking. Read the full quote here:

Iconic actor Tony Todd has died at the age of 69, it has been confirmed. As reported by THR, the Candyman, Platoon, and Star Trek: The Next Generation star, who amassed in excess of 250 professional credits over the course of an astonishing, five decade spanning career, passed away on 6 November at his home in Los Angeles after a long battle with illness.

Anthony Tiran Todd was born in Washington D.C. on 4 December, 1954 to Evetta Lyons Gaither. At the age of just three a young Tony Todd moved to Hartford, Connecticut where his auntie, Clara Elliston, took custody of him and nurtured his adolescent curiosity with the arts. Having enrolled Todd in summer acting courses as a boy, Elliston supported her nephew — artistically, financially, and emotionally — as his interest in theatre led to spells at both Eugene O’Neill National Actors Theatre Institute in Connecticut and Trinity Repertory Company in Rhode Island.

I have very sad news to report tonight. It has been announced that Tony Todd has died at the age of 69. The legendary actor is best known for his roles in Candyman, Final Destination, Platoon, The Crow, Night of the Living Dead, and his many appearances in the Star Trek franchise. He was a massively talented actor whose incredible baritone voice made every project so much better. This is a huge blow.

Todd’s wife, Fatima, told THR that he died on Wednesday at his home in Marina del Rey after a long illness. New Line Cinema, the studio which produces the Final Destination franchise, wrote on Instagram: “The industry has lost a legend. We have lost a cherished friend. Rest in peace, Tony, -Your Final Destination Family.“

After studying theater at the Eugene O’Neill National Actors Theatre Institute, Todd made the leap to the silver screen, making...

How do you even begin to eulogize someone as prolific, impactful, and iconic as Tony Todd? As confirmed by Deadline, the performer of stage, screen, and voiceover brilliance who boasted over 240 credits across nearly four decades has died at the age of 69. A cause of death was not provided at the time of publication. Todd was born in Washington D.C. but grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, and performed with the Artists Collective, Inc., an interdisciplinary cultural institution that promotes the art and culture of the African diaspora in an attempt to provide a safe haven for at-risk youth. He later attended the University of Connecticut before throwing himself into acting education through the Eugene O'Neill National Actors Theatre and the Trinity Repertory Company.

At 6-foot-five, his commanding on-screen presence and booming voice helped him stand out among his contemporaries, landing his first Hollywood studio-produced film role as Sergeant Warren...

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are devastated to learn that horror icon Tony Todd, the legendary actor who played the title character in Candyman (1992) and its sequels, passed away on November 6 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 69. Deadline first reported the news.

The prolific actor amassed more than 240 film and TV credits spanning his four decade career. While the actor’s big break came when he was cast in Oliver Stone’s 1986 Vietnam War epic Platoon, he would secure his name in the genre pantheon just a few short years later.

Todd starred in Tom Savini’s 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead as Ben, the role played by Duane Jones in George A. Romero’s iconic 1968 original. Todd’s warm, commanding performance was one of the primary reasons this remake was so successful and it was a precursor to his turn as Candyman. Despite...

Tony Todd has died. A veteran actor with a deep, resonant voice that matched his towering frame, Todd racked up nearly 250 credits across a 40-year film and television career.

The concept of the movie cameo no longer means what it used to. Nowadays, we have entire feature films serving as a cameo delivery system, where "cameos" aren't brief appearances by very recognizable figures, but are actually entire supporting roles. Thanks to the comic book movie and the output of Marvel Studios in particular, the cameo has since become far more than the Easter egg it used to be. In a cinematic landscape where what we now call cameos can range from teaser appearances of characters to be seen in a future film to big-name actors who were merely kept out of the marketing materials, is there any room for the classic-style cameo anymore?

Fortunately for us horror nerds, along comes "Terrifier 3" to answer that question with a resounding "Yes." The latest installment in the Art the Clown saga includes all manner of cameo appearances, ranging from some actors...

Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3 continues to break records and make headlines on the road to Halloween, and this latest headline is one of the biggest the franchise has made to date.

With a worldwide box office of $55.1 million at the time of this article being written, Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3 is now officially the highest grossing unrated movie Of All Time!

Leone tweets, “Terrifier 3 crosses $50M at the worldwide box office and officially becomes the highest grossing unrated film, even surpassing the highest grossing Nc-17 films.”

Here in the United States, the Bloody Disgusting & Cineverse release has scared up $44.5 million at the box office thus far, slaughtering the $10.9 million domestic take for Terrifier 2.

Worldwide, Leone’s Terrifier 2 ended its run with $15.7 million back in 2022, a number the Christmas-themed sequel slashed through in its domestic opening weekend alone.

Interesting to note, the previous record holder for an unrated movie...

The killers in the slasher sub-genre have been predominantly male, but occasionally we’re treated to the sight of a female blade-wielding maniac – and lately, it seems like we’ve been seeing more and more female slashers, which is a fun change of pace. Pearl is one example of the recent slasher resurgence on the big screen, and the title character was one killer lady! So it seemed like this would be a good time to look back at the previous female slashers and pick some favorites. Who had the best kills, the best reason behind her kills, and who was the mother of them all? Here’s our list of the top 5 best female slashers, based on preferences and impact on the genre.

Friday the 13th (1980): Pamela Voorhees

The original slasher matriarch, Pamela Voorhees. The Friday the 13th franchise has been built around her son, Jason, who quickly became a genre icon.

Terrifier 3 has passed a domestic milestone as its grosses continue to inflate. The gory slasher sequel follows Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) as he returns to continue his murderous rampage during the Christmas season five years after the previous movie, with survivors Sienna Shaw (Laurn Lavera) and her brother Jonathan (Elliott Fullam) still in his sights. The Terrifier 3 box office run kicked off with an $18.9 million opening weekend that saw the movie take No. 1 over the holdover comic book movie Joker: Folie Deux in a surprise upset.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Terrifier 3 is projected to earn a 3-day total of $4.5 million during its third weekend at the domestic box office, bringing its cumulative domestic total to $44.3 million. This makes it the 35th movie to pass the $40 million domestic milestone in 2024. This news comes during the same weekend that it has passed the $50 million milestone worldwide,...

Though there could be an argument made for a chunk of the Paramount entries, it’s wild to think that the 4th movie in a slasher franchise would be considered the series high. Add on to that this was advertised as the final chapter in what was thought to be a dying sub-genre; we ended up getting one of the best damn horror movies of the 1980s. And, of course, in the Friday the 13th series. Let’s lay it all out. Corey Feldman, who was on his way to becoming an 80s staple, debuted as Tommy Jarvis, who would become the series’ main protagonist. Tom Savini, the original makeup artist from the Og, was brought back. And we got one of the best iterations of Jason Voorhees, courtesy of icon Ted White. So let’s dance like no one is watching, no dead f***s allowed!—sorry, not my...

Terrifier fans have been expressing their wish for a special edition 4K boxset of the franchise – and now Umbrella Entertainment has announced that they’re making that wish come true! Umbrella is releasing a Terrifier boxset that they’re calling the Art Attack Collector’s Edition, which contains all three Terrifier films in 4K Hdr! If that’s not enough, the release also includes the anthology film All Hallows’ Eve, a Terrifier 3 VHS, a 250+ page hardback book, Shower Scene sunglasses, and an Art the Clown 180-piece brick set with seven swappable items. In addition to all of that, there’s artcards, two reversible posters, and archival extras on Terrifier 1 & 2.

As for the Terrifier 3 disc, that includes the following bonus features: – 4K Dolby Vision Terrifier 3 feature using Damien’s Extra Crunch Audio mix (includes new audio updates from Damien Leone) – Exclusive! Audio Commentary with SFX maestro Christien Tinsley – Exclusive! Introduction from Director Damien Leone – Exclusive!

Writer/director Damien Leone had a budget of around $55,000 to work with on his breakout horror film Terrifier, and a budget of “a little over” $250,000 for Terrifier 2, which was a massive hit when it was released in 2022, earning $15.1 million at the box office. Since the second film did so well, Terrifier 3 has a substantially higher budget. A “couple million” went into this one – and while the reviews of Terrifier 3 were generally positive (JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols considers the film to be the best entry in the Terrifier franchise), some fans were left feeling that something was missing. Leone has admitted that he cut the movie down to make sure it wouldn’t be as long as Terrifier 2 was… so is that why there seemed to be gaps in the story? Leone says that’s not the case, that he purposely made the movie in an ambiguous style.

It is not often that the best B-horror movies are complimented for their performances, despite the fact that they are often made or broken by them. An actor unable to commit fully to the project they are a part of can leave an otherwise enjoyable movie unremarkable. It does not even necessarily have to be a typically good performance, just one able to sell the viewer on the atmosphere and tone of a movie.

Horror movies in general struggle to garner enough attention for the hard work their performances require. Year after year, horror actors find themselves passed up for higher acknowledgments because of the genre they excel in. Achieving the right tone and energy in their performances can make a cheap horror into a fantastic cheap horror. It could be Desiree Gould establishing the strange tone of Sleepaway Camp as Aunt Martha, or it could be an always welcome...

Terrifier 3 has hit several huge box office milestones at the end of its first week. The new movie, from writer-director Damien Leone, is a runaway smash featuring new slasher icon Art the Clown in another gory rampage. It boasts the biggest budget of the franchise at $2 million, which is still quite low by modern Hollywood standards. In its opening weekend, Terrifier 3 beat Joker: Folie Deux, taking No. 1 at the domestic box office in a surprise upset by earning $18.9 million.

Per The Numbers' Wednesday update, Terrifier 3 has already crossed the $25 million milestone at the domestic box office, earning $25.45 million in North America as it approaches the end of its first week in theaters. Its international grosses have additionally pushed its global gross to $28 million, which is 14 times more than its budget. Because it cost eight times more than the previous installment, which only cost $250,000, this means it has...

Terrifier 3 3/10

Terrifier 3 follows Sienna and her brother as they attempt to move past the traumatic events of Art the Clown's Halloween massacre. As they embrace the Christmas season, Art reemerges, intent on turning their holiday into a nightmare, continuing his reign of terror.

Another Friday the 13th is upon us – unfortunately, we’re just talking about the date, not the release of a new Friday the 13th movie. But while the future of Friday the 13th currently depends on what happens with the Crystal Lake TV series, we can still go back and revisit the awesome F13 movies we have received over the years… and now we have decided to go through our Friday the 13th films collection and pick the top 5 Best Endings in the Friday the 13th Franchise!

Friday The 13th Part III (1982)

This one is all about the chase. While Steve Miner’s Friday the 13th Part III was at one time expected to be the last movie in the franchise (so they made it extra special by shooting it in 3-D), the way Jason is dispatched doesn’t feel like a finishing blow. An axe to his hockey mask-protected...

The first film in writer/director Damien Leone’s Terrifier franchise had a running time of 85 minutes, which I feel is just about perfect for a slasher movie. Then Leone went wild on Terrifier 2, letting it go on for 138 minutes… which a lot of viewers didn’t mind, while others (like me) thought was painfully excessive. So when he was working on the recently released Terrifier 3, he promised this one would be shorter. And it is, slightly. Terrifier 3 has a running time of 125 minutes – and during an interview with Coming Soon, Leone took a moment to defend the length of the Art the Clown sequels.

When he was asked about running time complaints and lessons learned while making these movies, Leone said, “I’m happy with what Terrifier 2 is. I’m happy with the length of it, but what wasn’t working for a lot of people was the length.

Terrifier 3 is the No. 1 movie in America! To celebrate, Art went to Spirit Halloween!

After swinging through Spencer’s earlier in the day, Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) kept his shopping spree alive by terrifying patrons at his local Spirit Halloween. If you couldn’t tell by his grin, the world’s favorite movie maniac was delighted to see his face in so many places. Having said that, he wasn’t going to let an animatronic do his bidding.

Watch below and find your local Spirit Halloween to get all your Terrifier needs.

This video was directed and edited by Curtis Matzke in cooperation with Spirit Halloween.

In Terrifier 3, directed once again by Damien Leone, Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is set to unleash another round of chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.

“After...

Hand to god, I swear this is not a stunt.

Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3 is on its way to becoming the #1 film in the country and along the way it has been the center of several major stories, including being banned to minors in France, having two people pass out in Australia, and one person vomiting at the UK premiere.

The real badge of honor is when religious groups find you to be such a threat that they take time out of their day to protest, and it hasn’t taken them long to come after Terrifier 3.

David Howard Thornton, who plays Art the Clown in the Terrifier films (including an all-timer horror villain performance in Terrifier 3), shared on his Instagram the above photo taken by his cousin outside of the B&b Theatres Mainstreet Kc at The Power & Light District in Kansas City, Mo, posted with...

In the cinematic battle between the clowns, I doubt many believed that Art would win over Joker. However, Terrifier 3 is shaping up to become a big success, while Joker: Folie à Deux is struggling. The latest installment of Damien Leone’s blood-soaked gore-fest is now playing in theaters and has been receiving rave reviews. There have also been reports of people vomiting during screenings, which is pretty much a seal of approval for a movie like this. Terrifier 3 has already taken in $2.6 million in Thursday night previews, which is all the more impressive when you consider that it cost just $2 million to make.

“After surviving Art the Clown’s Halloween massacre, Sienna and her brother are struggling to rebuild their shattered lives,” reads the description for Terrifier 3. “As the holiday season approaches, they try to embrace the Christmas spirit and leave the horrors of the past behind.
