There's a new holiday horror villain in town, but he's a frighteningly familiar face. The infamous Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is back for Terrifier 3, which sends Damien Leone's viral horror saga into the holly jolly holiday season. Sienna (Lauren LaVera) will once again need to face Art's sick and twisted mind after barely surviving his madness in the first film, all but assuring this will be a Christmas to remember for all the wrong reasons.
Since first debuting in All Hallow's Eve and later getting his own standalone series with the first Terrifier, Art the Clown has solidified himself as a modern horror movie icon in a relatively short amount of time. The killer clown's silent star and pitch-black smile alone have placed him among the best of the best of the slasher genre, and many are eager to see what he'll get up to in his next reign of terror. Wondering where you can see Art's grand and horrific return? Read below to find out, when, where, and how you can watch Terrifier 3.
Is 'Terrifier 3' Streaming?
Art the Clown is returning to screens across the globe, but he won't be doing so via streaming. Though streaming has become a very popular outlet for low-budget horror films thanks to platforms like Shudder, the Terrifier films thus far have enjoyed hugely profitable returns at the theaters, so it makes sense that Terrifier 3 would continue to try and capitalize on that success. As for if and when the film will be available to stream online at a later date, it's difficult to say. That said, Terrifier and Terrifier 2 are both currently streaming on Prime Video, so that could very well be a possible home for Terrfier 3.
Prime Video can be purchased on its own for $8.99 per month or can be bundled with the rest of Amazon Prime for $14.99 per month or $139 per year. Ads can also be removed from the service for an additional $2.99 per month.

Damien Leone's latest film has already premiered in other parts of the globe and will be debuting internationally in some other countries at a later date.

Is 'Terrifier 3' in Theaters?
Yes, Terrifier 3 will mark the franchise's grand return to movie theaters following the unprecedented success of its predecessors. To put that success into perspective, Terrifier 2 brought in over $15 million in profit since the movie only cost a quarter of a million to make. That said, Terrifier 3 has some stiff competition this weekend with a busier than usual week, which includes the comedic ensemble film Saturday Night, Sebastian Stan's controversial Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice, Pharrell Williams' Lego-themed documentary Piece by Piece, and the epic anime movie My Hero Academia: You're Next.
Watch the Trailer for 'Terrifier 3'

Picking up five years after the events of Terrifier 2, Sienna was hoping to have a peaceful Christmas vacation now that Art's been seemingly dealt with once and for all. It doesn't take long for Art to rear his pale face just in time for the holiday season, even grabbing himself a seasonally appropriate Santa Claus outfit for his latest and goriest killing spree.
