The first Terrifier film was released way back in 2016. It quickly became something of a modern-day cult classic, and as such, a sequel was placed into production. After several years of waiting, however, the time has finally come – Terrifier 2 will be released at some time in Fall of 2022. That means fans only have a few months left to wait – and, better yet, Terrifier 2 will be released in theaters.
This was revealed by Deadline, and via Bloody-Disgusting, it was also announced that after the theatrical run, Terrifier 2 will be streaming exclusively on SCREAMBOX. This means fans will be getting the best of both worlds when it comes to watching Terrifier 2 after such a long wait.
This means that we should be getting a new trailer for the film quite soon as well.
Director Damien Leone had the following statement to share:
“Just like our incredible fan base, Bloody Disgusting immediately recognized the film’s franchise potential and acknowledged Art the Clown as a new and formidable presence in the genre,” said director Damien Leone. “It was encouraging to find the perfect home for our batshit crazy, no holds barred, balls-to-the-wall horror film after three arduous years of production, a global pandemic and endless gallons of blood.”
He further explained what their goals for Terrifier 2 were and what the film stands for. As you can imagine, it will be something of a slasher film throwback while pushing boundaries and being “demented as hell.”
“Our goal was to create a horror film that was boundary-pushing, fresh yet old-school and demented as hell,” Leone adds. “You know…a film you can take the kids to! We are thrilled to finally answer that once dreaded question…’So, when does Terrifier 2 come out?!’
“The Terrifier franchise embodies everything that’s great about the iconic slasher flicks of the 80s and 90s,” said Bloody Disgusting and SCREAMBOX Managing Director Brad Miska. “It’s nostalgic, it’s dark, it’s bloody, so it’s no wonder the movie—and especially Art the Clown—have become a staple for horror and Halloween fans alike. Fans are not prepared for what they’re about to experience.”
At this rate, it certainly sounds like the movie has been worth the wait. We should have more details soon.
Damien Leone wrote and directed Terrifier 2. David Howard Thornton will star as the film’s iconic villain, Art the Clown. The cast also includes Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, and Elliott Fullam with a special appearance by Sleepaway Camp star Felissa Rose.
Fans will be able to finally see Terrifier 2 at some point in Fall 2022. With less than six months less than a year, we should all be able to see Terrifier 2 soon enough. And by the sounds of it – the new film will be surpassing the gore and insanity that its predecessor has become so well-known for over the last few years.
