Director Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3 took the already blood-soaked slasher franchise to new nauseating lows, but will Art the Clown return to wreak havoc in Terrifier 4? Debuting with the release of Leone’s 2008 short film, The 9th Circle, Art the Clown has become a bona fide pop culture icon, and the coulrophobia-inducing slasher has anchored the director’s entire filmography. The Terrifier film franchise may not be re-inventing the wheel when it comes to blood and guts, but it is extremely popular with horror hounds because of its simple-but-effective execution that eschews the intellectual horror of the 2010s and ’20s.
