My Thoughts on the Terrifier Franchise

As I’ve said in earlier posts, I’m late to the Horror genre.

I’ve been a fan of some Horror movies over the years (Halloween franchise and some of the Horror movies from the 30s, 40s, and 50s), but overall, was never a big fan until the last few years.

I’m still catching up and have a long way to go, but this year, I finally decided to watch the Terrifier movies.

The main character, Art The Clown, started off in an anthology movie called All Hallow’s Eve, and was so popular that a movie with him as the main star was made.

Terrifier is a very low budget Horror movie in which a killer clown (David Howard Thornton) wreaks havoc in very bizarre and gruesome ways.

Terrifier 2 involves Art getting even more gruesome and also has a “final girl” as they are called in Horror movies named Sienna (played by Lauren LaVera) who has to fight against Art.

Terrifier 3 has Sienna being released from a mental hospital and spending Christmas time with family members (her mother was killed in the second movie and her father has been dead for some time), and ultimately having to fight Art again, who of course is more gruesome and evil than ever.

These movies are DEFINITELY NOT for everyone. 

I usually would hate movies like these because I am not a fan of extreme blood and gore, but for these movies, this works.

The Terrifier movies have become extremely popular (as I type this, Terrifier 3 has been number one at the box office for a few weeks) and Art The Clown has become a modern day Horror movie icon.

I look forward to seeing the next one because I’m sure there will be another and more after that.
