Terrifier 2 [DVD]

Product Information

This was the hardest working and most dedicated cast and crew I ever had the pleasure of working with. Actress Leah Voysey had auditioned for Sienna and her friends Ally and Brooke before co-producer Jason Leavy, who knew about Voysey's singing and guitar skills, invited her to be the host that performed a song in the Clown Cafe dream sequence, which after being filmed led to Leone bringing Voysey to appear as a nurse in the credits scene. In October 2022, Leone said he had an entire treatment for a third film but it "is getting so big that it could potentially split into a Part 4 because [he] wouldn't want to make another 2 hour 20 minute movie. One of the factors during writing was establishing an adversary to Art—something inspired by the relationship between superhero Batman and supervillain Joker.

Leone describes the screenplay as much bigger in scope than the previous film and recollects not considering a budget while writing. Damien Leone on Instagram: "And that is officially a wrap on Terrifier 2 🔥 🥳 Ending on a bit of a whimper while grabbing an insert with these two champions late last night.The writing process for the film differed from Leone's previous film projects, in which he had to work around part-time jobs. The Terrifier franchise is a spin-off of the All Hallows' Eve anthology film which features Art the Clown, in the character's first feature film.

Trace Sauveur of The Austin Chronicle praised the "sense of physicality and comic timing" of Thornton. Fresh off the release of his latest Netflix series The Midnight Club, and exciting announcements for his upcoming series The Fall of the House of Usher based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, modern-day horror legend Mike Flanagan has praised Damien Leone's buzzworthy sequel. On October 15, it was announced that Felissa Rose, Chris Jericho and Tamara Glynn had joined the cast in cameo roles.Jeffrey Anderson of Common Sense Media described the characters as memorable, particularly Sienna, due to her character development. So I knew that character was always there; I knew one day I was going to bring that character back and finally make a movie with her. Leone described much of the screenplay revolving around the teenage girl, his favorite character he has ever written. Sammy Gecsoyler from The Guardian rated the film a total of three stars out of five, praising the film's creative kills, and performances, while giving some criticism towards its runtime.

Leone spent three months writing a character-driven screenplay following criticism of the first film's perceived lack of narrative.The Coven Films, a French distribution company and executive producer of the series, announced in May 2023 that filming for the third would begin in either November or December of that year with an expected release in late 2024, a "low-mid seven figure budget.
