This article mentions gore and violence.
Summary
2024 has been quite a scary year just because of the high number of horror movies that have been released, butTerrifier 3could rank as the scariest project yet. The franchise has so far followed brutal serial killer Art the Clown as he goes on a murderous rampage. He is never provided any backstory and simply just has an urge to kill. Thislack of motivation makes him and theTerrifiermovies even scarier than most slashers.
More horrifying films are set to release later in 2024, such asAlien: Romulus, butTerrifier 3looks like it might be as scary, if not more frightening, than the first two installments of the franchise.Art the Clown’s return inTerrifier 3has been highly anticipated followingTerrifier 2’s wildly successful release, with the previous installment ranking as one of the most violent films ever made. Additionally,Terrifier 3director Damien Leonehas teased a"Whole new level of horror madness" for this slasher film, suggesting that the sequel could raise the stakes still further.
The Terrifier 3 Trailer Ends On A Literal Terrifying Note
Art The Clown Is At It Again
When Art the Clown appears in theTerrifier 3teaser trailer, he wears a Santa Claus costume and holds an ax while a little girl stands behind him. A few moments later, Art is covered in blood. The trailer does not show what happened to the little girl, but it is clear that he murdered her. The fact that the movie is subverting two fundamentally innocent themes – childhood and Christmas – gives it the potential to be even more upsetting than previous installments.
Art the Clown’s new costume inTerrifier 3, his scary clown make-up, and the ax by the end of theteaser trailer all promise the film’s potential as a genuinely horrific film. Althoughthe teaser does not reveal too much of the movie’s plot, the fact that it seems to feature child murder hints thatTerrifier 3will be even darker than previous installments in the infamously sadistic franchise. Coupled with a haunting twist on the classic carol “Silent Night”,Terrifier 3could be even more haunting than what’s come before.
Terrifier And Terrifier 2 Were Full Of Horrifying and Gory Scenes
Terrifier 2 Was One Of The Goriest Slashers Of All Time
The firstTerrifieris primarily full of gory scenes. He murders seven people, and none of them are quick and simple. Due to these brutal murders,Art the Clown had a major horror impacton the genre. He has set a new standard for slashers. This standard isespecially true if newer slashers base their terror on their gore and brutality.They will never be scarier than theTerrifierfranchise if they do not have as many extremely gory kills.

Ironically,Terrifier 2has actually beaten the slasher series' own standard. The franchise’s second installment features 27 kills overall, and each of them is frighteningly gory. Not to mention,theTerrifier 2endingfeatures a very gory final image that perfectly paved the way for the third installment. The reputation of both filmswill most likely mean the third movie will be just as gory, if not more, with a potentially higher kill count.This level of violence will then probably allowTerrifier 3to be the scariest horror movie of 2024.
