As the holiday season approaches, they try to embrace the Christmas spirit and leave the horrors of the past behind.

The festive season quickly unravels as Art unleashes his twisted brand of terror, proving that no holiday is safe.
Terrifier 3 recap
Terrifier 3 (2024) brings Art the Clown back at Christmas, five years after his beheading, with a possessed Victoria Heyes at his side. Damien Leone writes and directs, with David Howard Thornton as Art, Lauren LaVera as Sienna and Samantha Scaffidi as Victoria. On the night of Terrifier 2, Art's body rises, rejoins its head, and he and Victoria, now taken over by the Little Pale Girl, kill their way out of the asylum and sleep in an abandoned house. Five years later Sienna Shaw leaves a mental health centre to stay with her aunt Jess (Margaret Anne Florence), uncle Greg (Bryce Johnson) and cousin Gabbie (Antonella Rose). She suffers survivor's guilt and sees the dead, while her brother Jonathan (Elliott Fullam) is away at college. Woken by demolition workers, Art takes a Santa suit, slaughters a family and bombs a shopping mall. It follows Terrifier 2.
