A new horror movie is in town that reportedly has horrified audiences vomiting and fainting in theaters. Terrifier 2 premiered on October 6, 2022, and has received a largely positive critical reception. It was initially released as a one-week special theatrical event. However, it did so well in theaters that its theatrical run was extended to another week. The film was directed and written by Damien Leone and is a sequel to the 2016 film Terrifier. While the initial film received mixed-to-negative reviews, it seems Leone improved upon its shortcomings with his sequel.

Terrifier 2 sees the return of David Howard Thorton’s Art the Clown. Art the Clown has appeared in several of Leone’s other works, in addition to the Terrifier films. He is a sadistic and demonic killer clown who appears on Halloween night to terrorize his victims. Art the Clown is unique in that he is silent, communicating through miming and facial expressions while never uttering a sound. In Terrifier 2, he is resurrected after having been believed dead in the first film. He sets his sights on a teenage girl, Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera), and terrorizes her and her younger brother, Jonathan Shaw (Elliot Fullam), on Halloween night.
