Casting

This film will feature the character of Victoria Heyes, the heroine turned villainess of Terrifier (2016), in a much more prominent role compared to the 2016 film and its 2022 sequel—with Damien Leone's biggest regret with the first film being leaving her underdeveloped. The original ending of Terrifier 2 set up Victoria's demise in the opening of this film, but Leone deemed it to be too similar to the concept of Malignant (2021). While conceptualizing the birthing scene, he decided he wanted to keep Victoria alive and give her significant character development, as he enjoyed working with Samantha Scaffidi.[1][2][3]

Filming

In May 2023, it was announced that Terrifier 3 was expected to begin filming in November or December 2023 for a late 2024 release.[4][5] Leone announced that principal photography commenced in July of 2023.[6]

Marketing

In October of 2023, it was announced that the first trailer for the sequel would debut on November 1, 2023; exclusively during a theatrical re-release of Terrifier 2.[7]

Release

In June 2023, Cineverse announced its acquisition of North American distribution rights to the film with a wide theatrical release in 2024, followed by exclusive streaming debut on its Screambox service.[8]
