While we're sure the humor won't be to everyone's tastes, yes, Terrifier 3 can be quite funny!

This franchise may be best known for its sickening violence, but a pitch black vein of humor does run through the trilogy, and some of Art the Clown's antics can be genuinely hilarious.

If you haven't seen Terrifier 3 yet, beware spoilers from this point on.

Towards the end of the movie, Art and a demonically-possessed Victoria take Sienna prisoner, strapping the beleaguered final girl to a chair and forcing her to watch as they torture and kill her aunt (if you're curious, you can find out how they go about that here). During the bloody carnage, Art walks past Sienna's chair a couple of times, delivering a few comical slaps to the back of his nemesis' head.

It may not sound that funny, but in the midst of the surrounding brutality, it does serve as some welcome levity.

Now, director Damien Leone has revealed that the slaps were improvised on the day.

"This was something I spontaneously told David to do on set every time he passed Lauren because I felt the finale was too dark and we needed some levity," the filmmaker posted to X.

It's been confirmed that Terrifier 4 is in the works, and Leone teased what he has in store for what might end up being the final film in the franchise during an interview with Variety.

“It will certainly be an epic showdown, an epic closure to this Art the Clown saga,” he says. “The idea I’m toying with in my head would probably be in some regards the most experimental, so I can’t dive into it too much. Some really, really crazy things will happen in the next one.”

"After surviving Art the Clown's Halloween massacre, Sienna and her brother struggle to rebuild their shattered lives. As the holiday season approaches, they try to embrace the Christmas spirit and leave the horrors of the past behind. However, just when they think they're safe, Art returns, determined to turn their holiday cheer into a new nightmare."

@AllsGood - Some Critics Reviews.

"Terrifier 3 has no limitations. Art the Clown is still the scariest slasher out there."

"Damien Leone’s slay ride is the best of the series. Will it become a Christmas standard? That depends on how well you can hold down your Peppermint Bark."

"Art the Clown continues to climb towards the upper tier of horror movie baddies and Lauren LaVera has earned her spot as a legitimate scream queen. And all under the guidance of Damien Leone who looks to have a bonafide hit on his hands."

"It is a holiday black mass welcoming the historic arrival of a new cinematic dark age with endless fountains of fake blood and popcorn butter."

@Dotanuki - Terrifier 3 cut Jokers Throat at the Box Office now has Domestic $21,522,715.

New York Times Nobody is pushing horror boundaries quite like the writer-director Damien Leone.

Guardian The number of horror films that promise to sicken your soul and shrivel your stomach is enormous, but the proportion that actually do so, particularly for veteran horror-watchers, is small. I’m pleased to report that Terrifier 3 is genuinely gruesome.

Slant Magazine Terrifier 3 continues the series’s trend of dotting a sparse and sinuous thread of plot with mini-masterpieces of cinematic ultraviolence.

Variety Terrifier 3 puts the “E” in Extreme, and it has an ace gimmick, one that simultaneously winks at and fulfills franchise expectations.

NPR It's really kind of a lot of fun.

Slight and Sound, continues to confront us with the ever-uncomfortable question of not just what we are willing to watch, but why. And there is more to come. A cliffhanger ending suggests that this third entry is no trilogy closer. Art, you see, good or bad, never dies.

@bobevanz - What does this movie have to do with Marvel? Marvel really does live rent free in some of your heads.

Damien Leone's over the top miming as Art absolutely delivers the delicious ham, though I felt let down by the mall sequence.
