In the US, writer/director Damien Leone’s highly anticipated sequel Terrifier 2 will be receiving a nationwide theatrical release, courtesy of Cinedigm, in partnership with Iconic Events, on October 6th. In the UK, it’s coming to Digital Platforms, DVD, and Blu-ray from Signature Entertainment on October 24th – and will also be available in a double feature Blu-ray boxset with the first Terrifier. To promote that release, a UK trailer has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.
The film 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 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 (A Taste of Christmas), 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. I enjoyed All Hallows’ Eve and liked Terrifier a lot. I have seen Terrifier 2 already, but I’m not supposed to reveal what I thought of it – so I’ll just say, watch for the Terrifier 2 review that will be posted on the site early next week!
