Terrifier: Quick Kills Ahead

The Future of Terrifier: A Look Ahead

The success of Terrifier 3 has solidified the franchise’s place in the horror genre, with fans eagerly awaiting the next installment. In a recent interview, director Damien Leone shared his plans for the future of the series.

Sequels and Beyond

When asked about the possibility of Terrifier franchise piling up the sequels, Leone was quick to dismiss the idea of extending the series beyond two more movies. "On one level, I would absolutely love to see [Art the Clown] in space or go to Las Vegas or the Wild West," he said, "but I can’t imagine it going past two more movies. For me, personally, as a storyteller, I think that my well is going to eventually run dry, plainly because I pack so much into each movie."

Leone’s economic outlook on potential Terrifier 4 and 5 runtimes is also noteworthy. "I could want to make one more movie, but I have so many set pieces, kill scenes, and scenarios that I want to put [Art the Clown] in where I could wind up with another two-hour-and-30-minute movie," he explained. "I don’t want that because I know the audience doesn’t want that, either. At least the majority of fans would rather have a 90-minute movie. If that’s the case, then I would probably split them up into, say, two more movies. But I truly don’t see it going on further than that."

The Road Ahead

While the future of Terrifier may be uncertain, its impact on the horror genre is undeniable. The franchise’s ability to drive audiences to the multiplex with its DIY set pieces and Savini-inspired practical FX has earned it a loyal following. "Whether you love ’em or hate ’em, there’s no denying the visceral impact the Terrifier movies have had on cinema goers," Leone noted. "Driving audiences to the multiplex with the promise of DIY set pieces and Savini inspired practical FX that push the boundaries for a modern audience, just as the video nasties of yore did for past generations."

Conclusion

The success of Terrifier 3 has cemented the franchise’s place in the horror genre, and fans can look forward to at least one more installment from director Damien Leone. While the future of Terrifier may be uncertain, its impact on the genre is undeniable.
