The Terrifierfranchise has been one of the most unlikely horror hits of the new millennium, evolving from a shockingly gruesome low-budget indie into a mainstream powerhouse. The toothy visage of its antihero Art the Clown now adorns everything from apparel to toys to home decor, with costumes even available at mass-market outlets like Spirit Halloween. Writer/director Damien Leone has managed to outdo himself with each subsequent installment, working with progressively larger (though still very small by Hollywood standards) budgets to deliver an onslaught of gore that pushes the boundaries of mainstream horror.
