Art the Clown is back, baby – the official teaser for Terrifier 3 has arrived, and everyone’s favorite psychopath is looking a little festive this time round.

In case you missed the big horror news, Terrifier 3 is going to be a Christmassy affair. It all started with a leaked poster for the anticipated threequel, showing Art the Clown wearing Santa’s skinned face around his neck and a Christmas tree decorated with human entrails.

Then, those who attended the Terrifier 2 re-release were treated to a sneak peek of the upcoming movie, further confirming the theme. And, of course, a clip of the footage was leaked online.

But now the teaser has been officially released, showing what to expect while building anticipation for the gory mayhem Damien Leone will be bringing to the big screen next year.

Art the Clown ruins Christmas in Terrifier 3 teaser

For all the grinches out there (us included), Screambox – which has acquired North American rights to Terrifier 3 – shared the teaser trailer on November 13, confirming that the movie will arrive in theaters first on October 25, 2024.

The clip starts off like any other festive scene – ‘Silent Night’ plays in the background as a snow globe sparkles, before the camera turns to a young girl with her teddy bear on Christmas Eve. When she hears banging she goes downstairs, assuming it’s Santa coming to visit.

She finds a man in a red suit arranging presents beneath the Christmas tree. “Santa,” she yells excitedly, but as he lifts his head, it’s actually Art the Clown in all his terrifying glory, holding up an axe as he laughs to himself.

Alongside the teaser, Screambox wrote on X/Twitter: “He sees when you are sleeping. He knows when you’re awake.”

Over on YouTube, it revealed a little more about the plot, stating: “In the third installment of Damien Leone’s breakout horror film, Art the Clown is set to unleash chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.”
