It looks like we have a full-blown modern slasher icon with a franchise that just won’t quit. Terrifier 3 hasn’t even hit theaters yet, but the film did premiere at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas last night. This marks Art the Clown’s third solo cinematic parade of carnage. Well, it looks like director Damien Leone intends to keep the blood coming as the filmmaker has confirmed that a fourth entry in the franchise is indeed happening. Buckle up, gorehounds.

“Yes there will be a Terrifier 4,” Leone said during the Q&A, which was attended by Fango’s own Angel Melanson. So there we have it! Nothing further was confirmed at this time, though that seems fair given that most of the world has yet to even see the third installment. Without giving too much away, the film does very much pave the way for another sequel.
