Terrifier Movies: Release Order
The Terrifier series is a slasher trilogy created by Damien Leone, centered around the demonic killer Art the Clown. The franchise evolved from simple splatter horror in the first film to a more complex supernatural mythology involving the character Sienna Shaw and otherworldly forces.
This watch order presents all three feature films in their intended sequence. While Art the Clown previously appeared in short films and the anthology All Hallows' Eve (2013), these earlier works are not part of the main continuity and the feature films can be enjoyed without prior knowledge of them.
