Clowning Around Gets Deadly as ‘Terrifier’ Double Bill Hits Cinemas

Brace yourselves for a bloody spectacle as Damien Leone’s Terrifier and Terrifier 2 return to UK and Irish cinemas for one night only on 27 September. This double bill marks the first time that the original Terrifier will be shown in cinemas nationwide, offering fans a rare chance to experience Art the Clown’s nightmarish antics on the big screen.

Signature Entertainment has announced that the terrifying duo of films will come to life again, just in time to get audiences in the mood for the spooky season. Both films follow the relentless, bloodthirsty pursuits of Art the Clown, portrayed with haunting precision by David Howard Thornton. Known for his unnerving silence and disturbing brutality, Art made his mark in the horror world after first appearing in Leone’s 2008 short The 9th Circle and the 2011 award-winning short Terrifier. The full-length feature Terrifier debuted in 2016, taking the slasher genre by storm with its lip-smacking gore and shocking violence.

Terrifier introduces audiences to the malevolent clown who terrorises three young women on Halloween night, dispatching anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path. It’s a gruesome ride through slasher horror that doesn’t hold back, giving genre fans all the grisly delights they crave.

Terrifier 2 takes things a step further, resurrecting Art in all his gruesome glory for another massacre. After being brought back by a sinister force, Art sets his sights on a bereaved family, including teenage Sienna and her younger brother Jonathan. On Halloween night, the mayhem unfolds with gut-wrenching violence and twisted encounters that leave no one safe from Art’s demented rampage. With unforgettable special effects created by Leone himself, Terrifier 2 became an instant hit, proving that this sequel goes above and beyond in delivering pure terror.

As fans of the Terrifier films await the release of Terrifier 3, set to hit cinemas on 11 October, the double bill screening serves as a perfect lead-up to Art the Clown’s next gruesome chapter. Horror lovers won’t want to miss this rare chance to witness Art’s bloody handiwork on the big screen. It’s a cinematic event sure to leave a lasting mark.

Catch Terrifier and Terrifier 2 in select UK and Irish cinemas for one night only on 27 September, before Terrifier 3 slashes into theatres this October.
