About the Movie

"Terrifier 2" is a 2022 American slasher film written, directed, edited, and produced by Damien Leone. Serving as a sequel to "Terrifier" (2016), it revolves around the sinister character Art the Clown as he is resurrected to pursue teenage Sienna Shaw and her younger brother Jonathan on Halloween night. The film features returning cast members David Howard Thornton and Samantha Scaffidi, alongside new additions Lauren LaVera, Elliott Fullam, Sarah Voigt, Kailey Hyman, and Casey Hartnett.

Damien Leone conceived the film's concept years earlier, originally centered around an angelic heroine, which evolved into Sienna Shaw. After the release of the first film, Leone aimed to address narrative concerns by crafting a character-driven screenplay. Securing funding was a challenge due to the script's ambitious nature, prompting Leone to launch a successful Indiegogo campaign to finance practical effects-driven scenes.

Principal photography was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with production briefly halted in 2020 due to lockdowns. Despite challenges, the film premiered at FrightFest in August 2022 and enjoyed a successful theatrical release in the United States, grossing $15 million at the box office. Critics praised performances, particularly from LaVera and Thornton, and hailed the film as an improvement over its predecessor.

Following its success, a sequel titled "Terrifier 3" is set to be released in 2024, further expanding the franchise's dark universe.
