From his work on the originalFriday the 13th, when he helped to createKevin Bacon’s unforgettable death sceneamong others, Savini has been the go-to name for any filmmaker looking for the best in gore, severed body parts and creature effects.

Terrifier 3 follows Sienna and her brother as they attempt to move past the traumatic events of Art the Clown’s Halloween massacre. As they embrace the Christmas season, Art reemerges, intent on turning their holiday into a nightmare, continuing his reign of terror.
There has currently been no indication of who Savini will play in the film, or how big his role will be, but for aficionados of the genre, his mere presence in the movie will be enough to take the horrors it has to offer to a new level.

Terrifier 3is set to bring the malevolentArt the Clownback to the screen, this time wreaking havoc during the Christmas season. The film will once again see David Howard Thornton donning the minimal but scary-as-hell attire of Art the Clown, while Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, and AEW star Chris Jericho all return for more gore-laden violence that is sure to cause plenty of controversy. Additionally, frequentRob Zombie collaborator Daniel Roebuck joined the castearlier this year as none other than Santa Claus.
The release of the first trailer forTerrifier 3has already sparked controversy for making the suggestion that a child will be one of Art’s victims this time around – not for the first time for those who have followed the character since his inception – and reports from the set of the movie even suggested that some scenes were too horrific even for Thornton himself. While the movie’s morals are an issue for some, the franchise has captured the imagination of horror fans in a way that has not been seen for a long time.
