One of the most recent horror cult classics is set to begin shooting its sequel very soon. Terrifier, a film about a killer clown going on a murder spree on Halloween night, which might not have been a huge hit upon release, only for its debut on Netflix to earn it a passionate fanbase over the years will begin filming its second entry this fall. This was confirmed by film’s director, Damien Leone, who took to Facebook to confirm that he had secured funding for a sequel, while also teasing details about what to expect of the follow-up film. Leone stated,
“Thank you all very much for your patience! We are thrilled to finally announce that Terrifier 2 is funded and slated to begin filming in the fall of this year!” Leone posted on the film’s Facebook page. “We are unchained and unrestricted, so rest assured, Terrifier 2 will be the merciless, no holds barred follow-up you’ve been hoping for. If you thought we pushed the envelope in part 1…you haven’t seen anything yet.”
“Now since the scope of Terrifier 2 is 10x bigger than the original, we can still really use your help!” the post added. “Thankfully, we’ve gotten numerous requests at conventions and on social media to launch a crowdfunding campaign for the sequel so that is our goal! In the coming weeks we will launch a small indiegogo campaign with the hopes of raising some much needed additional funds.”
“Again, we want to thank you from the bottom of our black hearts for your constant support and patience. We mean it when we say, the success of Terrifier is based solely on the dedication of our fanbase. In return, we want you to be involved every step of the way and we promise to deliver a film that surpasses your expectations!”
The films premise states,
“After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to Miles County where he must hunt down and destroy a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night. Pray you don’t get in his way.”
Art The Clown has become the biggest name in the horror genre since the days of Michael, Freddy, and Jason and with the release of the sequel, his fame is sure to grow.
