The independent horror “Terrifier 2” (Terrifier 2) became a box office success in the United States, boosted by the news that several people fell ill during the sessions. And with success, comes more streak there.
Director Damien Leone revealed to Variety magazine that he is already planning the next film.
“I already had Part 3 in mind when writing Part 2. We raised a lot of questions in the second movie that weren’t answered. I pretty much have the whole story lined up for the third one, but it’s getting so big we might even have a fourth movie.”
After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to Miles County, where he must hunt down and destroy a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.
The director says he never imagined the franchise would be so successful.
Take the time to watch:
“It’s surreal. It snowballed, word of mouth marketing, people feeling sick and fainting during the screening… I never imagined the movie would make millions of dollars theatrically.”
Leone thinks the franchise could attract the attention of major studios.
“It was going to be awesome to get a real Hollywood makeup company to do the special effects. It would help the work a lot and make it more realistic,” he said.
The movie will be released in domestic theaters as “Terrifier 2” on December 29, while the first is available on Amazon Prime Video as “Terrifying.”
There have been several reported incidents of people fainting and vomiting during screenings of the film – which promises to be extremely VIOLENT.

While watching #Terrifier2, my friend just threw up then passed out. I’ve counted five outings so far. I love it 🤷♂️

“Viewers are throwing up in theaters because of certain scenes in ‘Scary 2’. It’s one of the best horror films of the year.
I just saw Terrifier 2. It was an incredible bloody mess. The guy behind me passed out and crashed into my chair another guy left because he wasn’t feeling well I heard him say and on my way out of the movie theater I heard a guy throwing up loud and loud in the bathroom. #Terrify2 @damienleone
