Get ready for a killer experience: Terrifier, the popular horror franchise, is expanding into the gaming world with Terrifier: The ARTcade Game. This highly anticipated video game adaptation, now in development for PlayStation 5 and PC, promises a uniquely self-aware twist.
A Brief History of Terror
The Terrifier franchise, brainchild of Damien Leone, has its roots in the 2006 short film The 9th Circle, marking the debut of the iconic villain Art the Clown. This chilling character went on to appear in the 2013 anthology film All Hallows’ Eve, initially portrayed by Mike Giannelli. David Howard Thornton later took on the role, bringing Art to life in Terrifier (2016) and its wildly successful 2022 sequel, which raked in $15.7 million on a modest $250,000 budget.
