Halloween season will be extended this year
when one of the most violent and disturbing horror films slashes
back onto the big screen!
In the coming weeks, Cineverse and Director
Damien Leone will announce several
surprises to be attached to the theatrical re-release
LOS
ANGELES, Aug. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Just when
you thought it was safe to go back into theaters, Cineverse, in
partnership with Bloody Disgusting, today announced the return of
the unrated mega-slasher TERRIFIER 2 to theaters nationwide on
November 8 with the promise of
several surprises.
TERRIFIER 2, which originally released theatrically in
October 2022, ravaged theaters during
its highly publicized theatrical run, pulling in over $11 Million at the domestic box office.
TERRIFIER 2, the much buzzed-about sequel to the ultra-gory
slasher hit TERRIFIER, was written and directed by Damien Leone (All Hallow's Eve). The film
marked the next horrifying chapter in the Art the Clown saga; in
which the demonic killer, portrayed by David Howard Thornton, returns with a vengeance.
Lauren LaVera became a breakout star
and fans across the world embraced her as the next Final Girl.
TERRIFIER veteran Samantha Scaffidi
reprised her role as Victoria Heyes,
and horror icon Felissa Rose
(Sleepaway Camp) & professional wrestler Chris Jericho (AEW) made unforgettable cameos
that had audiences talking.
Director Damien Leone expressed
his excitement about the upcoming rerelease, saying, "This year has
been unlike anything we could have imagined. To see all the love
TERRIFIER 2 has received and the excitement this release has
inspired from fans new and old, is truly beyond words. As a thank
you to them and the many people who worked tirelessly on this
release, we want to bring it back to the big screen where it
belongs. And more than that, while fans eagerly await the release
of TERRIFIER 3 next year, we will be including some special
surprises because a year is just too long to wait."
"Terrifier 2's return to theaters is the perfect farewell to the
Halloween season, an event that will have audiences clinging onto
their barf bags once again, "said Brad
Miska, Managing Director of Cineverse/Bloody Disgusting.
"This exemplifies the pinnacle of horror cinema, an experience that
etches itself into memory."
Set one year after its predecessor, TERRIFIER 2 continued the
gruesome story of Art the Clown and his insatiable thirst for
murder. When a sinister force resurrects Art, his ominous presence
returns once more upon the unsuspecting residents of Miles County.
Back for another Halloween, Art sets his sights on a teenage girl
and her little brother, portrayed by LaVera and Elliott Fullam, respectively, delivering a
chilling and relentless tale of horror.
TERRIFIER 2 is developed by Dark Age Cinema and Fuzz on the Lens
Productions and features an original score by Paul Wiley. The film is produced by Phil Falcone, Steven
Della Salla, Jason Leavy, and
Michael Leavy. The list of executive
producers includes Cairo Ben Amen II, Joshua Anderson, Steven
Caruso, Lisa Falcone,
Hank Greenberg, Marcus McGill, Larry
Bilello, Steven Barton, and
Thomas Smith.
