Those who were hoping to reunite with Art the Clown this Halloween season may be disappointed to hear that the wait for Terrifier 2 is going to be a tad bit longer than that.
On the film’s official Facebook page this week, director Damien Leone provided an update on the sequel’s status. “Our initial goal was to have it out this month but like every other production, Covid set us back big time,” Leone writes. “We are finally heading into our final stretch of filming currently and our new goal is to have the film completed by early 2021.”
“However,” Leone makes sure to note, “that does not mean we will have distribution secured. That will be the next step upon completion. As you know, Terrifier 2 is a completely independent film funded through Indiegogo and a handful of private investors. We did not have a studio or distribution company backing us so this is truly a grassroots campaign on every level. Believe me, we are as anxious and excited to release this film as you are to see it but the last thing we want to do is rush it. The cast and crew have truly put an unfathomable amount of time and energy into this film and we’re trying to exceed expectations on every level.”
He adds, “All I can say is, it will be worth the wait.”
In the sequel, “After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art returns to Miles County where he must hunt down and destroy a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween.”
Lauren LaVera co-stars alongside David H. Thornton‘s Art the Clown.
