‘Terrifier 3’ – Clint Howard & Krsy Fox Come Face-to-Face With Art the Clown!

Art the Clown isn’t done terrorizing Miles County.

Our highly anticipated Terrifier 3 is gearing up for a release this Halloween season and creator/director Damien Leone is hard at work editing this beast of a sequel that’s going to bring Art home for the holidays.

Filming has wrapped and the majority of the cast has been announced, except the following additions:

  • Antonella Rose – Actress on AMC’s “Fear the Walking Dead”.
  • Krsy Fox – Filmmaker and actress (Allegoria, Bury the Bride).
  • Clint Howard – A genre favorite who appeared in Evilspeak, Ice Cream Man, Halloween, The Lords of Salem, and 3 From Hell.
  • Jon Abrahams – You might remember him from Scary Movie, Wes Craven’s They, and House of Wax.

In Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting’s Terrifier 3, directed once again by Damien Leone, Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is set to unleash another round of chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.

Returning cast includes Lauren LaVera (Sienna), Samantha Scaffidi (Victoria Heyes), Elliot Fullam (Jonathan Shaw) and AEW superstar Chris Jericho (Burke), with Daniel Roebuck set to debut as Santa Claus. Makeup effects legend Tom Savini will also appear, as will Jason Patric (The Lost Boys, Narc).

Terrifier 3 opens exclusively in theaters nationwide on October 11, 2024.

Joe Swanberg Producing a Slate of Five Horror Films for Yale Entertainment

Joe Swanberg (V/H/S, Drinking Buddies, Happy Christmas) and Yale Entertainment have wrapped production on five upcoming horror movies, Deadline reports this week.

Deadline details, “Swanberg’s slate of horror films with Yale Entertainment was inspired by the producing exploits of Roger Corman.” The lineup includes the following projects:

  • Helldorado
  • Kenneled
  • Yellow Eyes
  • Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round
  • Untitled Jae Matthews Project

Swanberg said in a statement, “I was very lucky to team with Yale Entertainment, who understood the model and were excited to try the most ambitious version of producing five features back-to-back. Using my resources from 20 years in Chicago, combined with support from the great team at Yale and my co-producer Ben Gojer, we have brought five incredible projects to life, each led by exciting early career filmmakers with huge futures.”

Here’s everything you need to know about each of the five movies…

“Written and directed by Kansas Bowling (Cuddly Toys), Helldorado watches as Queho, a Native American serial killer with a checkered past, takes out the people of a struggling mining town in the stark deserts of Nevada one by one, with the town Deputy right on his tail.

“Written by H.K. Moore and directed by Jay Burleson (The Nobodies), Kenneled follows a destitute dog walker who finds a wealthy client who saves him from financial ruin. But this is no ordinary dog.

“Written by Mickey Solis and directed by Jesse Korman, Yellow Eyes watches as a young couple inherits a house containing a mysterious relic that hosts the spirit of a powerful demon, and the wife of the man it possesses must find an exorcist to save him.

“Directed by Aidan Leary from his script written with C.R. Thompson, in his feature debut, Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round watches as a children’s TV show host, ensnared in a case of amnesia, must confront his missing memories as his puppet co-stars turn on him.

“In the untitled feature written and directed by Jae Matthews, a young woman will do anything to avoid her ex at a secluded house party. But a supernatural virus passing through the partygoers may take care of him for her.”

‘The Bride!’ – ‘Frankenstein’ Movie Starring Christian Bale Gets New Release Date

Director Maggie Gyllenhaal is bringing the iconic Bride of Frankenstein back to life for upcoming feature film The Bride!, and the film has received a new date from Warner Bros.

Originally set for release October 3, The Bride! will now release September 26, 2025.

Christian Bale is Frankenstein’s Monster, with Jessie Buckley as the titular Bride.

Jake Gyllenhaal will also have a role in the film.

The upcoming film “sees a lonely Frankenstein travel to 1930s Chicago to seek the aide of a Dr. Euphronius in creating a companion for himself. The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman and the Bride is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police and a wild and radical social movement.”

The Bride! will also star Penelope CruzPeter Sarsgaard, and Annette Bening (Nyad).

In the original 1935 film from director James Whale, “After recovering from injuries sustained in the mob attack upon himself and his creation, Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) falls under the control of his former mentor, Dr. Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger), who insists the now-chastened doctor resume his experiments in creating new life. Meanwhile, the Monster (Boris Karloff) remains on the run from those who wish to destroy him without understanding that his intentions are generally good despite his lack of socialization and self-control.”
