Horror fans may have been shocked to see the magnitude of children in the Terrifier 3 trailer due to the franchise being known as some of the most brutal and gory set of movies in the genre. But director Damien Leone and star David Howard Thornton say they do not have any regrets on the matter and that above all they need to say true to Art the Clown.
"Everything I write has to be true to the character and organic," says Leone in response to whether or not he had any reservations about including children in the movie and in Art’s firing line. One of the biggest debates in horror is whether the inclusion of children is going a bit too far, especially in films as bloody as Terrifier 3. The idea of something so pure and innocent such as a child or animal being in a horror movie and subject to such atrocities has led to the most hardcore horror fans being put off and some movies being banned from certain countries.
