The Most Shockingly Grisly Murder Scene Enacted in Terrifier
Halloween draweth near, but the eerie season's been brewing for months now, ever since Art the Clown graced the silver screen once more in Terrifier 3. Last year's Terrifier 2 saw the bloodthirsty clown's popularity surge, and the third installation only added fuel to the fire. Terrifier 3 now holds the title of top-grossing unrated movie ever, not to mention one of the top gross-out flicks in the game. The series is a formidable rival indeed.
So, the question of the day: Which is, in your humble opinion, the most gut-wrenching, jaw-dropping "can you believe they did that?" Terrifier kill? And we give a nod to our fellow gore-hounds over at Vulture for compiling a ranker of 30 death scenes from the Terrifier series.
Terrifier 3: The Mall Massacre
With its jolly Christmas theme, Terrifier 3 presented Art with fresh, festive arenas to raise his body count. Dressed in a Santa suit over top of his trusty clown gear, he breezes into a shopping mall's North Pole photo op, banishing the "real" Mr. Claus and even crossing paths with several kids. You just start to think maybe he's going to leave the kiddies alone, but oh, how naive we were. Just when you're about to relax, he begins handing out wrapped gifts before making his swift retreat. What initially seems like a heartwarming, almost wholesome scene, turns into a full-blown nightmare when one poor soul accidentally pops open a bomb-themed present. Tasteful? No way. Boundary-breaking? Absolutely! But does it take the crown as the worst Art has in store?
Terrifier 3: Rats, Rats, Rats!
There's not a single person safe from Art's wrath, as kindly Aunt Jessica learned the hard way. After taking in the tenacious Terrifier 2 survivor, Sienna, and just trying to help out, Jess finds herself in Art's crosshairs. Obsessive and determined, Art comes prepared for his most elaborate set pieces yet, thanks to his demonic sidekick, Vicky. With a wickedly evil grin, he ties Jess up alongside the family Christmas tree, shoves a plastic tube into her mouth, and shoves rats down her throat before viciously cutting her open, releasing the wriggling vermin into the world. And with a merry ridiculousness, Jess's final moments on-screen are a living nightmare for both her and the audience.
Terrifier 2: The Slaughterhouse
Looking back, it seems Allie, Sienna's best friend, should've just handed over the candy. After a few unsettling encounters with Art at the door, he finally gets his hands on her, and the scene that follows is nothing short of brutal. It starts with slashing her face, then her arms, before peeling back her skin with gruesome precision. Oh, there's some stabbing, bleach, and salt thrown in for good measure. And just when you thought the worst was over, Art delays her inevitable demise to give her mother a front-row seat to the brutality. It's a scene that's impossible to watch but proves to be the franchise's defining moment.
Terrifier 3: The Shower Shocker
Two universal truths in horror movies are that sex is a bad idea and never, ever, under any circumstances take a shower. In Terrifier 3, Art-loving Mia and her boyfriend, Cole, both break the rules within the same scene, and pay the ultimate price. With lethal precision, Art dismembers Mia with a chainsaw, while Cole, a foolhardy hero, tries to step in and save the day. But Art's not one to be upstaged; he quickly shifts his attention to Cole, giving him a Dawn-inspired demise that's equally gruesome and mortifying.
