So what’s the latest on Terrifier 4, you ask?
“Since there’s so much Terrifier 4 speculation and false information out there, I wanted to drop in and give an official update,” Leone said back in February. “The script is very close to completion, and I’m hoping to begin pre-production this Spring. This is the most precious script I’ve written for many reasons, but it’s also the most challenging. There’s a lot of material to tackle and a lot riding on this one, not just creatively but emotionally.”
“We’ve built something special together over the years,” Leone continues. “The cast and crew who have been here since the beginning deserve a finale that honors their dedication, and the fans who’ve championed this franchise deserve something unforgettable.”
“In all honesty, I’m thrilled with the way it’s turning out and confident it will deliver,” he added at the time. “I will officially announce when the script is complete on my social media pages which also means we’ll be moving into pre-production. If you don’t see it coming from or confirmed by me, then it’s not official. I promise it will be worth the wait!”
David Howard Thornton will return as Art the Clown, and he promises it will be a “bat shit insane” finale. Lauren LaVera is also expected back as Art’s adversary, Sienna Shaw.
