Terrifier creator weighs in on the future of the gory horror franchise: “My big fear is of going on too long and wearing out my welcome”

Terrifier 3 will soon be hitting theaters, and director Damien Leone has already confirmed a fourth movie is on the way, too. The future of Art the Clown looks bright, then.

“The whole reason why this was successful is because it’s just been very true to me,” Leone tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Terrifier 3 on the cover and hits newsstands on October 2.”I’ve been able to just be autonomous with it. Really, it’s my true vision, for better or worse, but I really do believe that’s one of the reasons why it’s successful, that there’s no interference. Hopefully it’s just the singular vision of the artist that’s really coming through.”
