Art the Clown actor David Howard Thornton has provided an update on Terrifier 4, which is still in the scripting stage from writer-director Damien Leone.
“I’m very excited, but I don’t know a whole lot, because this time around Damien has been keeping everything very close to his vest about what’s happening in the script,” Thornton tells Slasher Radio.
“Lauren [Lavera], Samantha [Scaffidi], and I, in the past when he’s been writing the other scripts, he’s been consulting us the whole entire time, running ideas by us. This time, he’s been pretty much silent.”
Thornton continues, “He just goes, ‘Oh yeah, you’re gonna love the origin story, Dave. You’re gonna love how we do it.’ And he said also, ‘The finale is bat-shit insane. You’re gonna have a lot of fun with that.” Other than that, I don’t know, but that makes me excited.”
Will the fourth installment bring the franchise to an end? Thornton weighs in, “I feel like this might be the finale of this story arc that [Leone]’s going with for right now and might give it a rest for a few years and might return later on to it. I have no idea, but I’m excited nonetheless.”
He adds, “I have so much faith in him.”
Leone previously said the script is “shaping up to be the most epic, horrifying, thrilling, emotional and satisfying conclusion to the Terrifier saga.” He also confirmed Art’s backstory will be revealed in the opening 15 minutes.
While we wait for Terrifier 4, Art the Clown is available in Fortnite as of today and Terrifier: The ARTcade Game comes out November 21.
Meanwhile, Thornton’s upcoming horror films include The Dead Place, The Autopsy of Albert Kemper, Screamboat 2, and Stream 2.
Terrifier launched 2016, followed by Terrifier 2 in 2022. Terrifier 3 opened at #1 at the box office last October, becoming the highest grossing unrated film of all time.
