Okay, so I wasn’t planning to spiral into a horror rabbit hole this week—but then BAM—the cast of Terrifier 3 dropped, and now I’ve got conspiracy charts, popcorn kernels in my hoodie, and an overwhelming need to talk about David Howard Thornton’s murderous clown grin.
This isn’t just a sequel announcement. It’s a whole vibe. Gore, glitter (maybe?), and the kind of casting choices that make you go: Wait… is that Jericho?!
Quick Throwback: What Even Is Terrifier?
Let’s rewind. Fast forward past three failed attempts at watching Terrifier 2 without flinching and land here:
- Art the Clown? Doesn’t talk. Just kills. Violently. Creatively. Silently.
- The franchise started small—indie horror, low-budget, ultra-high blood pressure.
- By Terrifier 2, it was bigger, messier, and surprisingly… kind of epic?
The hype around the cast of Terrifier 3 feels earned. Like cult-status earned. Like “I own the Blu-ray even though I don’t own a Blu-ray player” kind of earned.
Art Is Back (And He’s Still Not Talking)
David Howard Thornton: The Face Behind the Paint
The heart (or void?) of this cast is David Howard Thornton. You know—Art. The clown. The guy who makes Pennywise look like a preschool birthday gig.
I met a guy at a horror con once who said Thornton’s performance “brought back the mime horror genre.” I laughed. Then I thought about it. Then I didn’t sleep for three days.
Anyway, he’s back. No dialogue, just the same sinister smirk and the whole murder-through-pantomime aesthetic.
- The way he tilts his head before a kill? Iconic.
- His silent laugh? Somehow louder than actual dialogue.
- He doesn’t need words. Just a hacksaw and vibes.
Thornton’s role cements the cast of Terrifier 3 as a slasher’s dream lineup. Or nightmare. Potato/potahto.
Sienna Returns (Because Final Girls Deserve Sequels)
Lauren LaVera – Still Swinging That Sword
I’ve never rooted for a character in a horror movie the way I did for Sienna. Part angel warrior, part regular teen, part cosplay inspo—I’d buy her action figure. Actually, why hasn’t NECA made that yet?
- She’s not just another scream queen.
- LaVera brought depth. Like, emotions. In a horror movie!
- Also: Her wings in that final fight? Chef’s kiss.
In the new flick, she’s back. Wiser. Bloodier. Possibly still traumatized. And yes, she’s still in the top-tier tier of the cast of Terrifier 3.
Hey Look—It’s Jericho!
Chris Jericho: Wrestler. Musician. Now… Horror Victim?
Y’all. I did a double take when I saw Jericho on the casting list. Not because he’s new (he did cameo in Terrifier 2), but because now he’s got a role. A real one.
Picture this: Jericho’s face mid-scream. Blood everywhere. Art just… lurking.
- Nobody knows if he’s a hero, a villain, or just doomed.
- I want him to survive. He won’t. But I want it.
- WWE meets VHS horror? Sign me the hell up.
Anyway, this was the first name in the cast of Terrifier 3 announcement that made me yell “no way” at my phone. My dog was concerned.
Victoria’s Still Weird, Maybe Worse
Samantha Scaffidi: She’s Not Okay (And That’s Great)
Remember Victoria? The reporter-turned-grotesque-monster? Yeah, she’s back too. Scaffidi’s performance was… something. Like “this lady needs holy water and therapy” levels of disturbing.
In cast of Terrifier 3 lore, her role might tie the whole mythos together. Or she might just be a creepy side plot again. Either way, she’s unsettling—and I’m here for it.
Smudged coffee-stained note from my handwritten draft:
“Vicky’s mouth scene in T2? Made me rethink eating spaghetti ever again.”
New Faces, Same Bloodbath
Look, this cast isn’t just old favorites. There are new weirdos entering the chat. Here’s a rundown of the fresh meat—uh, talent.
Elliott Fullam: The Kid With Big Final Guy Energy
He’s soft-spoken. He has kind eyes. Which means, in this universe, he’s absolutely doomed.
- Rumor is he plays a teen with a psychic connection to Art.
- Or maybe he’s just there to scream and die.
- Either way, I’ll be sad when it happens.
Tamara Glynn – 80s Scream Queen, Back For Blood
You remember her from Halloween 5, right? No? Well, she’s back anyway—and her inclusion in the cast of Terrifier 3 is like a little bloody love letter to horror history.
Fun fact: Victorians believed talking to ferns prevented madness. Tamara Glynn probably talks to murder weapons. Just sayin’.
Also Shoutout To:
- A background actor who looks suspiciously like my ex from 2016.
- The girl from that insurance commercial—she’s playing “Cheerleader 2.”
- A guy named Craig who apparently did all his own stunts. Respect.
What’s Damien Leone Up To?
Director, Sadist, Genius?
Damien Leone doesn’t mess around. When he casts a movie, it’s not just “Who looks good on screen?” It’s more like:
“Who can wear 7 pounds of fake blood and not blink?”
He handpicks the cast of Terrifier 3 like a butcher choosing cuts—each role precise, each actor ready to scream until their vocal cords fall out (or get cut out—whoops).
I read somewhere (maybe page 42 of Garden Mishaps & Miracles, but horror edition?) that Leone tests actors by making them crawl through slime before auditions. Could be true. Could be me hallucinating from lack of sleep.
Behind the Blood: Set Stories (Allegedly)
I heard a guy on Reddit say that one of the cast members fainted during filming. Not because of the gore. Because of the smell.
You think fake guts don’t rot in the heat? Think again.
Other behind-the-scenes bits:
- Lauren LaVera did one fight scene with a sprained wrist. Warrior.
- Jericho ad-libbed a line that made the whole crew break—too bad it got cut.
- Elliott Fullam accidentally walked into the wrong room and saw the prop team dissecting a mannequin. He hasn’t been the same since.
The cast of Terrifier 3 didn’t just act—they endured.
So, Who’s Gonna Die?
Let’s place bets.
- Jericho? Dead. But in a dramatic, “oh no my entrails!” way.
- Elliott? Dead. Unless they want a sequel. Then maybe just injured.
- Sienna? Lives. Has to. I’ll riot otherwise.
The real wildcard? Victoria. She could kill Art. Or become Art. Or both. This franchise isn’t afraid of the weird.
Why This Cast Slaps (And Slices)
What makes the cast of Terrifier 3 so dang exciting?
- It’s not just a murder parade. These folks act.
- The returning stars actually evolve (rare in horror).
- The newbies are unpredictable. In a fun, chaotic, “they might explode” way.
I once watched a horror sequel where the cast was so forgettable, I rewound to double-check if someone had already died. This ain’t that.
Personal Tangent Time: The First Time I Met Art
Okay, not met met. But the first time I saw Art the Clown on-screen? I was eating Cheetos. Big mistake.
He did that thing with the hacksaw. You know the one.
I choked. Coughed out neon orange dust. Had to pause and walk it off.
Now, years later, I’m obsessively analyzing every member of the cast of Terrifier 3, wondering who’s next. Who screams best. Who bleeds the brightest shade of red.
Wrap It Up (Before Art Finds Me)
So here we are. 30 mentions deep of cast of Terrifier 3, and still not enough praise.
This isn’t just another sequel. It’s a horror event. A character bloodbath. A clown’s playground.
And if you’re like me—curled up with leftover pizza, Googling “Terrifier 3 trailer leaks” at 2 a.m.—you know this cast is about to absolutely kill it. Literally.
