Leaked Terrifier 3 poster teases Christmas setting for slasher

Art the Clown is back, baby – and he’s got his evil sights set on Santa. Yes, a leaked poster for the highly anticipated Terrifier 3 appears to tease a Christmas-themed slasher.

Terrifier 2 launched the franchise into new heights while pushing the boundaries of the horror genre. For some, watching Art the Clown peeling a human like a banana and pouring bleach and salt on her open wounds proved too much, with reports of viewers vomiting, fainting, and running from the cinema when it dropped last year.

But between the massacre and mayhem, there is some genuine (though dark) humor to enjoy. It’s an unapologetic slasher-splatter, one that showed us cinema still has the power to shock.

Considering the first Terrifier looks like My Little Pony next to the sequel, we can only imagine what Damien Leone has in store for the third. But thanks to a new leak, we might know a little more about the direction it’s headed.
