The Terrifier 3 (2024) official trailer opens with a haunting overhead shot of a small town shrouded in fog. As Halloween decorations line the streets, the atmosphere feels unsettling. The camera zooms in on an abandoned warehouse at the edge of town, its broken windows casting eerie shadows. Suddenly, Art the Clown, with his trademark black-and-white face paint, emerges from the darkness, grinning maliciously.
The trailer quickly shifts to a group of teenagers planning their Halloween night out. They joke about urban legends, particularly about the infamous Art the Clown. It’s clear from their banter that Art’s reign of terror has become a chilling folklore in this town, but they don’t take the warnings seriously. “He’s just a story, right?” one of them says as they prepare to attend a haunted attraction rumored to be cursed. This location becomes the primary setting of the film.
The next sequence shows the teens exploring the haunted house. At first, it appears to be a typical Halloween attraction, but the tone quickly darkens as they realize the gruesome props are all too real. Art has already turned the place into his own twisted playground, using the house’s traps and mazes to unleash sadistic horror. The trailer cuts between intense scenes of the teens being chased, brutalized, and separated in the labyrinth-like funhouse. There’s blood everywhere—doors slam shut, lights flicker, and the walls seem to close in on them.
Art the Clown’s iconic cruelty is on full display. One scene shows him silently mimicking a victim’s terrified expressions before striking with a barbed chain. The violence is as gory as fans have come to expect, and the trailer doesn’t shy away from it, offering glimpses of Art’s new, horrifying torture methods. The camera lingers on his smirking face as he carves his victims with disturbing precision.
Amid the carnage, we catch glimpses of a deeper story—an eerie figure, possibly tied to Art’s origin, is hinted at in brief flashes. “He’s not just a man,” a mysterious voice says over the footage, suggesting that Art might be something more sinister than just a crazed killer.
The trailer ends with a chilling final shot: Art standing in a pool of blood, surrounded by his lifeless victims, as he gives a slow, theatrical bow. His dead eyes lock on the camera, and then the screen goes black.
