Terrifier is an American horror media franchise created by Damien Leone and consisting of slasher films, ^{[1] [2] [3]} comic books, novels, and video games. The franchise mainly focuses on Sienna Shaw, a young woman destined to defeat the enigmatic Art the Clown, a demonic serial killer that inhabits the fictitious Miles County, New York. Additionally, the series follows the Little Pale Girl, a sinister entity accompanying Art, and Victoria Heyes, a disfigured survivor struggling with her mental health who the Little Pale Girl possesses, becoming Art's accomplice.

The franchise began in 2016 with a standalone feature-length film showcasing Art, who had previously appeared in unrelated short films and the anthology film All Hallows' Eve incorporating the shorts. ^[4] The 2016 film had a generally mixed critical reception. Terrifier 2 (2022) was a box office success and received positive reviews. Terrifier 3 (2024) received generally positive reviews and was an even greater box office success, becoming the highest-grossing unrated film of all time. ^[5] Terrifier 4, which Leone has said will be the conclusion of the franchise, is currently in the works. ^[6]

Terrifier 3 (2024)

Main article: Terrifier 3

After surviving Art the Clown's Halloween massacre, Sienna and her brother struggle to rebuild their shattered lives. As the holiday season approaches, they try to embrace the Christmas spirit and leave the horrors of the past behind. However, just when they think they're safe, Art returns, determined to turn their holiday cheer into a new nightmare.

Future

After previously expressing interest in 2022 to develop Terrifier 3 and Terrifier 4 back-to-back, ^[10] Leone confirmed in February 2023 that he plans to make at least one more installment after the third film. The filmmaker explained that by the end of the franchise, the stories of Art the Clown, The Little Pale Girl, Victoria Heyes, and Sienna Shaw would be resolved. ^[11]

By November of 2023, however, Leone stated that there may be additional installments after production on Terrifier 4 is completed, with the filmmaker stating that his goal is to create "... a satisfying franchise, [with] a satisfying conclusion where you could just watch it from start to finish and understand the journey and the arcs of your characters... but you never know what's going to happen down the line, but that is the goal is I don't want to make too many of these, and I want it to have a satisfying conclusion." ^[12] The writer/director later confirmed that the franchise intentionally draws from Biblical imagery, with the story of Sienna's confrontations with Art, being that of an angel versus a demon. ^[13]

In September 2024, Leone officially confirmed that Terrifier 4 is in development. ^{[14] [15]} Although originally intended to be the conclusion of the franchise, ^[16] in October 2024, Leone clarified his comments of Terrifier 4 likely being the final film, stating the announcement was a bit “premature” and was uncertain whether the conclusion of the franchise would span over one or two more films. ^{[17] [18] [19]} On January 29, 2025, Damien Leone posted on his social media during his birthday that the script for Terrifier 4 was in development, promising fans that it would be the final installment of the horror franchise and it would dive deeper into Art's origins. ^[20] In May 2025. Leone, while attending Texas Frightmare Weekend, gave an update on the status of the 4th film saying "I know this word gets used a lot, but it's going to be epic. It's not going to disappoint. You're going to get Art's backstory in the first 15 minutes of the movie." ^[21] WWE wrestler Rhea Ripley in a 2025 interview talked about how badly she wanted to appear in the fourth film. After hearing her comments, Damien Leone replied by teasing that she could appear in the next film by saying "The wheels are turning @RheaRipley_WWE." ^[22]

In an October 2025 interview with Slasher Radio, David Howard Thornton discussed Terrifier 4, saying, “I'm very excited, but I don't know a whole lot, because this time around Damien has been keeping everything very close to his vest about what's happening in the script. Lauren [Lavera], Samantha [Scaffidi], and I, in the past when he's been writing the other scripts, he's been consulting us the whole entire time, running ideas by us. This time, he's been pretty much silent. He just goes, 'Oh yeah, you're gonna love the origin story, Dave. You're gonna love how we do it.' And he said also, 'The finale is bat-shit insane. You're gonna have a lot of fun with that.' Other than that, I don't know, but that makes me excited." Thornton also gave his input on if this will truly be the finale of the franchise by saying, "I feel like this might be the finale of this story arc that [Leone]'s going with for right now and might give it a rest for a few years and might return later on to it. I have no idea, but I'm excited nonetheless. I have so much faith in him." ^[23]

Credited as the 2013 film that launched the spin-off Terrifier franchise, All Hallows' Eve was followed by a number of anthology-standalone sequels including All Hallows' Eve 2 (2015), All Hallows' Eve: Trickster (2023), ^[24] and All Hallows' Eve: Inferno (2024). ^{[25] [26]} Producer Steve Barton stated that in collaboration with Horrible Imaginings Film Festival, future All Hallows' Eve installments would include combined independent horror short films, following their respective runs at film festivals; saying: "...the All Hallows’ Eve franchise will be a place for these movies to thrive and for these filmmakers to get the notice that they have so richly earned.” Jesse Baget, CEO of Ruthless Pictures, further explained that though the franchise was anthological in nature, each of the shorts takes place in the same shared continuity where the horrific characters "coexist". ^[24]

Catherine Corcoran lawsuit

On October 27, 2025, nearly ten years after the release of the film, actress Catherine Corcoran, who appeared in the first Terrifier film, filed a federal lawsuit against the filmmakers accusing them of shortchanging her on promised residuals and using on-screen nudity without her consent. The lawsuit alleges that producer Phil Falcone and producer/director Damien Leone of paying her $8,341 in what’s just a fraction of what she’s contractually owed. According to the lawsuit, Corcoran reached an agreement to work on the film for a very low per diem rate in exchange for 1% of the profits of the film and any future films in the series, as well as 1% of profits from merchandise related to the film. The movie and franchise went on to huge success and she claims that she was never properly paid. The lawsuit also accuses the filmmakers sexual harassment, of distributing sexually explicit material without her consent. Any nude and topless scenes must have prior authorization under the rules of the Screen Actors Guild and according to her lawsuit, the producers never got any such clearance from Corcoran when she was topless. Corcoran claims she was forced to hang nude upside down for 10 hours and that when creating the silicone mold for Corcoran’s body cast, "the producers required Corcoran to lie nude on a piece of plywood while she was covered with a quick-drying liquid silicone agent however, the process was done incorrectly and the silicone dried and essentially glued Corcoran to the plywood, requiring a long, painful process to remove the dried silicone from her body" and that Falcone took numerous still photographs of Corcoran’s nude body while she was glued to the plywood sheet without her consent." The lawsuit makes mention of major brand names in horror, including Spirit Halloween and Hot Topic, as proof of the artistic success Corcoran’s scene helped spark and her death scene is currently featured as part of the walk-through Terrifier attraction at Halloween Horror Nights. “Were it not for Corcoran’s willingness to take a risk on this production and receive her compensation on the back-end, the series would not exist as it could not have been made on a shoe-string budget otherwise,” according to her lawsuit. “However, when it came time to pay what was owed, the producers chose to cheat her” the lawsuit reads. A lawyer for Leone and Falcone said, “Damien and Phil deny the claims in the complaint and will vigorously defend this lawsuit.” ^{[51] [52]}
