TONE
Terrifier 3 is definitely the fourth characteristic with Artwork the Clown in it. Earlier than making Terrifier, Leone launched the character (then performed by Mike Giannelli) in brief movies that have been included within the 2013 horror anthology All Hallows’ Eve. When he was gearing up for the third movie, Leone stated, “One of my main goals for Terrifier 3 is to recapture the creep factor present in the original Terrifier short film. That had a genuinely spooky atmosphere that I’m still proud of. If all goes as planned, part 3 will be the scariest Terrifier thus far.”
The filmmaker can be aiming to make the third movie extra like the primary Terrifier characteristic. Talking with Selection, he stated Terrifier 3 will “shift back a bit to the tone of Part One, which I felt was a little more simplistic and old school, gritty slasher. I want this one to go back in that direction, and I want this to be the scariest one of the trilogy. This one will actually have a little bit more of an evil overtone to it, so this is going to be hopefully the scariest and the darkest. I want it to feel as if the audience coming into this one isn’t as comfortable with Art the Clown as they feel they are now. I want to see if I can make them really scared of him again.”
Terrifier 2 went heavy on the supernatural parts. As Leone described it to Insider, “There’s blatant religious mythic imagery, clear as day. There is a heaven and hell thing going on. And the clown is this resurrected demon and Sienna is slowly becoming aware that she’s sort of this Old Testament angel ready to do battle and going through that metamorphosis.” When requested if he has acquired constructive criticism on Terrifier 2 that he’s retaining in thoughts for the subsequent sequel, he replied, “I wanted Part Two to have a Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors vibe to it. That was my tone in the back of my head and I knew I was really going to embrace this supernatural and fantasy element. I also knew I was going to alienate a handful of fans going that route. I personally love it. There’s a lot of people who didn’t love the fantasy, or at least they need more explanation as to why that’s all happening. I didn’t want to explain everything in Part Two, so I am going to explain as we go. But the biggest mistake I could do now is double-down on that fantasy aspect. That’s why I want to course-correct a bit; let’s go back to Nightmare on Elm Street Part One, as opposed to going further into Dream Warriors. That could be very helpful criticism and help me make a better movie moving forward. But we’ll see.” Leone can be aiming to verify the brand new movie has a operating time beneath two hours (Terrifier 2 was 138 minutes).
Leone can be working to verify there’s a component of enjoyable to all of this. He advised The Hollywood Reporter, “I at all times need there to be levity. Artwork the Clown must be his charming, quirky self. I need the viewers to know that is only a fictional world. We’re right here to have enjoyable, and I don’t need them leaving the theater feeling depressing. However on the identical time, there’s a approach to make this one appear as if you happen to’ve by no means even met Artwork the Clown earlier than. That’s how I need the viewers to really feel. I need them to really feel like this can be a very terrifying, unpredictable character, and when you suppose you would possibly know him, you don’t know what’s coming.“
GORE
The Terrifier movies are recognized for his or her moments of utmost gore (which is becoming since they’re backed by an organization referred to as Bloody Disgusting), and Terrifier 3 isn’t going to be any completely different.

Since this one has a price range of “a couple million”, Leone has introduced in a Hollywood FX workforce to assist him create the nauseating results. (For the earlier movies, all the bloodshed was supplied by Leone and producer Phil Falcone.)
