Originally, the film was slated to premiere in theaters on October 25, 2024. However, in May 2024, they decided to push the release date by two weeks to 11 October.

Terrifier 3 Plot & Storyline Details
The ending of “Terrifier 2” is quite shocking. Sienna manages to behead Art the Clown, but her creepy friend, “The Little Pale Girl” (played by Emily MacLaine), runs off with Art’s head. Then, in the end credits scene, we see Victoria Hayes (Samantha Scaffidi), a survivor of the first “Terrifier,” in a mental institution. She gives birth to Art’s head, who is still alive and smiling at a horrified nurse. It’s clear that even beheading won’t stop Art the Clown, and he’s set to come back in “Terrifier 3.”
Aside from these hints at the end of “Terrifier 2,” not much is known about the new film’s story. What we do know is that it will be set during the holiday season. Director Damian Leone has promised that “Terrifier 3” will be the scariest film in the series to date. He wants to bring back the scary atmosphere of the original short film. Leone said, “One of my main goals for ‘Terrifier 3’ is to recapture the scary aspect of the original ‘Terrifier’ short film. It had a really scary atmosphere that I’m still proud of.”
