Director Damien Leone’s latest installment, Terrifier 4, promises to elevate the notorious slasher franchise to even more gruesome heights. Originating from Leone’s 2008 short film, The 9th Circle, Art the Clown has undeniably cemented his status as a pop culture figure, becoming the cornerstone of Leone’s cinematic offerings. While the Terrifier series might not break new ground in horror storytelling, its popularity among horror aficionados stems from its straightforward yet impactful execution, which starkly contrasts with the more cerebral horror narratives prevalent in recent years.
The already unsettling Terrifier 3, which debuted in 2024, did not hold back on delivering a barrage of shocking kills while simultaneously deepening the lore surrounding Art. As discussions about Terrifier 4 gain momentum within the horror community, the cliffhanger concluding the third installment leaves fans hungry for more carnage. Although still in its early phases, it seems inevitable that Art the Clown will return for an additional terror spree.

Terrifier 4 Under Development
Official Confirmation of the Sequel
Even prior to the theatrical release of Terrifier 3, the horror community was buzzing with excitement over the confirmation of Terrifier 4 by Damien Leone himself. Fans in attendance at an early screening reported that Leone hinted at the sequel. However, he did not formally acknowledge the film’s development until January 2025, when he confirmed the script was underway. The specifics concerning whether the film has received full production approval remain vague.
Terrifier 3 premiered on October 11, 2024, bringing Art’s reign of terror back into the limelight.
Cast Details for Terrifier 4
Anticipated Return of Art The Clown
Given that Terrifier 3 boasted a dynamic ensemble, a few familiar characters are anticipated to reappear in Terrifier 4. Most notably, Sienna Shaw, the franchise’s emblematic final girl, is set to return to confront Art the Clown. Expect Lauren LaVera to reprise her role alongside David Howard Thornton as the malevolent Art.
It is plausible that Samantha Scaffidi’s Victoria Heyes might return to assist Art in his quest for vengeance, although her apparent demise in Terrifier 3 casts doubt on her return. Antonella Rose is expected to reprise her role as Gabbie Shaw, as Sienna must venture into dangerous territory to rescue her. The fate of Elliot Fullam as Sienna’s brother, Jonathan, remains uncertain, with the last film suggesting he might be dead; that said, the franchise is known for its shocking turnarounds.
Presumed cast members for Terrifier 4 include:
| Actor | Role in Terrifier |
|---|---|
| Lauren LaVera | Sienna Shaw |
| David Howard Thornton | Art the Clown |
| Antonella Rose | Gabbie Shaw |
| Elliot Fullam | Jonathan Shaw |
Story Developments in Terrifier 4
Sienna’s Quest to Rescue Gabbie from Hell
The conclusion of Terrifier 3 sets the stage for an epic showdown. Although the narrative quality of the Terrifier films is often debated, the suspenseful finale of the third installment effectively sets up the storyline for the next film.
In a climactic moment, Sienna uses her enchanted sword to vanquish Art’s accomplice, Victoria, only for a portal to Hell to open, leading to Gabbie’s abduction. Remarkably, Art endures this confrontation, managing to escape on a bus.
This storyline paves the way for a potential final battle between Sienna and Art, suggesting that Terrifier 4 could see Sienna venture into Hell not only to rescue Gabbie but also to eradicate Art’s reign of terror for good. Leone has confirmed that this upcoming film will delve into Art’s origins, likely intertwining with otherworldly themes.
