The unrated independent horror film Terrifier 2 has raked in over $5 million at the domestic box office since its initial release on October 6th, and will be playing on the most screens yet (1500+) this weekend. Then it will be available to watch on the Screambox streaming service as of Halloween, October 31st. The movie will be receiving a Blu-ray and DVD release sometime this December – and Amazon is already accepting pre-orders!

Written and directed by Damien Leone, Terrifier 2 tells the following story: After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to Miles County where he must hunt down and destroy a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night. As the body count rises, the siblings fight to stay alive while uncovering the true nature of Art’s evil intent.
Terrifier (buy a copy of it HERE) star David Howard Thornton reprises the role of the bloodthirsty Art the Clown and is joined in the cast of Terrifier 2 by Lauren LaVera (Iron Fist), Elliott Fullam (Instinct), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Tamara Glynn (Halloween 5), Samantha Scaffidi (American Fango), Griffin Santopietro (Cobra Kai), and Chris Jericho (Killroy Was Here).
This sequel is actually the third feature with Art the Clown in it. Before making Terrifier, Leone introduced the character in short films that were included in the 2013 horror anthology All Hallows’ Eve.
While I didn’t enjoy Terrifier 2 very much myself (you can read my 4/10 review HERE), I have been very glad to see an unrated horror movie having so much success in theatres. I’m sure the film’s success is going to continue once it’s available on streaming and physical media.
