Art the Clown is returning to theaters sooner than expected, and just in time for spooky season.
Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting changed the release date for “Terrifier 3” to October 11, moving it up two weeks from its original release date of October 25.
Despite the film being released close to Halloween, the story takes places during Christmas. According to Cineverse, “Art the Clown 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.”
“We’re so excited to bring the next ‘Terrifier’ to theaters this fall just in time for the Halloween season,” said Phil Falcone, the film’s producer. “’Terrifier 3′ will deliver everything the fans expect and more with Art the Clown taking things to the next level. We can’t thank our fans enough for their support and for making us believe we’ve made something truly special.”
“Terrifier 3” wrapped production in New York in April and follows the success of “Terrifier 2,” which earned a 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes. It also brought in over $15 million at the global box office.

“I knew the second I saw ‘Terrifier 2’ that it would be a generational horror film and was ecstatic when horror fans showed up to experience the movie in theaters making it one of the biggest indie horror successes of all time,” said Brad Miska, vice president of Bloody Disgusting at Cineverse. “With ‘Terrifier 3,’ Damien Leone and Phil Falcone have handcrafted a theatrical experience like no other that will shock the hell out of audiences this fall. Art the Clown will slay October once again.”
Under Dark Age CinemaProductions and directed by Damien Leone, the “Terrifier 3” returning cast includes Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam and AEW star and Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho.
After its theatrical run, Cineverse will release “Terrifier 3” on streaming platforms, including its own horror streaming service, Screambox.
