Terrifier 3 Screening Brings Art the Clown to Michigan

The Terrifier horror franchise is gearing up for a special event, featuring a screening of Terrifier 3. Fans in Michigan have a unique opportunity to meet “Art the Clown,” played by David Howard Thornton, who will appear in full costume for a rare photo op.

The Terrifier series has gained notoriety for its silent yet menacing antagonist, Art the Clown. Known for his brutal and graphic kills, he’s considered one of the most terrifying figures in the slasher genre. This franchise, starting with Terrifier 1, has set new standards for intensity and gore in horror movies, often evoking visceral reactions from its audience.

As a horror and slasher movie enthusiast, I find myself frequently unnerved by the killings in Terrifier 1. Despite my strong stomach—developed from outdoor activities like deer hunting—the realism of these scenes makes me look away from the screen. Among the film’s kills is one particularly gruesome scene that stands out as one of the most horrific I’ve ever witnessed. Despite this, I own both Terrifier 1 and its sequel, as they rank among the most intense horror experiences I’ve had since classics like the original Saw and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Much like iconic figures Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th and Michael Myers of the Halloween series, Art the Clown appears unkillable. The sequel, Terrifier 2, maintains the same level of intensity, keeping viewers on edge as they root for the protagonist to defeat the villain. However, just when you think Art is finally vanquished, he comes back, amplifying the horror.

It’s important to note that these movies are not for the faint of heart. The special effects in Terrifier 1 and 2 are so realistic that there is little left to the imagination, often leading to nightmares for the audience.

The upcoming screening of Terrifier 3 promises to deliver the same high-octane horror, with a twist—a Q&A session and photo ops with both David Howard Thornton and the film’s director and writer, Damien Leone. This event will take place at Emagine Canton in Michigan on October 25 and 26. The Q&A and photo session with Leone and Thornton is scheduled for Friday, October 25, with an additional photo op on Saturday, October 26.

Terrifier 3 is being promoted as the new “Christmas horror movie from hell”, which might just outdo past horror flicks like Silent Night, Deadly Night in delivering spine-chilling entertainment. Imagine the surreal experience of taking a photo with Art the Clown during a holiday-themed horror event—it’s an opportunity hard to pass up for die-hard fans of the franchise.

Whether you’ve been a fan from the beginning or are just discovering the Terrifier series, this is a can’t-miss event for horror enthusiasts in Michigan. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience filled with screams, shocks, and the chance to meet one of the most terrifying clowns in cinematic history.
