Damien Leone’s increasingly popular Terrifier franchise upped the murderous ante with the well-reviewed Terrifier 3, which may have outdone its predecessors when it comes to blood spilled by Art the Clown. Terrifier 3‘s box office totals have blown away most expectations, and a big part of the reason is the film’s tendency to encourage word-of-mouth recommendations. The extreme violence in the franchise and intensity of some of its scenes, including Terrifier 3‘s controversial opening scene, famously made audience members sick at its screenings; naturally, those incidents went viral and further piqued moviegoers’ overall interest.
