Terrifier 3: The Most Gruesome Kill Ever? Director Reveals All!

Get ready for a wild ride with Terrifier 3, a horror flick that's not for the faint of heart! Director Damien Leone recently spilled some behind-the-scenes tea, and it's pretty wild.

Terrifier 3's Gruesome Finale

The movie ends with a seriously brutal death, arguably the most intense kill of the whole film. It involves Art the Clown and Vicky (another killer) and the target is Gabbie's mom. This final scene is so intense that it almost leaves the audience speechless. It has Leone saying that he initially had a way more gruesome idea, but that he toned things down quite a bit! In fact he even made some parts very subtle, like "almost subliminal," making it quick despite still being exceptionally brutal.
