‘Terrifier 2’ – Uncut and Uncompromised, Indie Slasher Carves Out $400,000 Thursday Night Box Office!
Believe it or not, Cinedigm, Bloody Disgusting and SCREAMBOX’s release of Terrifier 2 is unprecedented. I don’t know how we did it, but we brought an uncut, uncompromised, 138-minute-long ultra slasher to 900 movie theaters across the country (with drive-ins also playing the film throughout October). Oh, and Damien Leone‘s epic slasher is also an indie film.
Terrifier 2 is special for one particular reason – it’s fan-driven. The film wasn’t studio-backed and we had no money for marketing. Everything was grassroots and done for the love of the film and the genre. This is a unique moment in horror history we’re all participants in.
With all that said, we’re beyond excited to report that Terrifier 2 earned an astounding $400,000 in its special event slot this past Thursday night.
To understand this better, the film averaged $453 per theater, which is only second to Paramount’s wide-release Smile. Of the 20 new movies that opened in theaters last night, Terrifier 2 performed the second best. The film is a hit with critics and fans alike, currently Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 100% critic score and a 95% audience score.
While Terrifier 2 will eventually make its way to the Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX, horror fans can still catch this epic bloodbath in theaters over the next week. It’s the perfect way to kick off the Halloween season, and we can absolutely promise that it’ll be one of the wildest and most unforgettable theatrical experiences you have EVER had.

The highly anticipated sequel to the cult-favorite slasher film welcomes back David Howard Thornton as the demonic killer, Art the Clown. Terrifier 2 also introduces Lauren LaVera as Sienna, who will become an instant fan favorite. Also returning is Samantha Scaffidi who will reprise her role as Victoria Heyes. Horror icon Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp) also makes an appearance.
Terrifier 2 has Art the Clown up to his old tricks once again…
Following his gruesome demise in the first film, a sinister presence has brought Art back to life to rein terror on the residents of Miles County. On Halloween night, he returns to the unassuming town and sets his sights on fresh prey: a teenage girl and her little brother, portrayed by Lauren LaVera and Elliott Fullam, respectively.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
