Just in time for the holidays, Cineverse has revealed plans for a “Terrifier 3” making-of documentary that will bring fans behind the scenes of the hit indie slasher. Titled “Art Attack! The Dissection of Terrifier 3,” the film will debut exclusively on the company’s streaming platform Screambox in early 2025.
“Art Attack!” is billed as a full dive into how the “Terrifier 3” team brought various brutal kills and bloody effects to life in the latest slasher entry. The documentary features interviews with director Damien Leone, producer Phil Falcone and various cast members, along with new footage from the set of the production.
The making-of documentary comes from Cult Screenings UK, the producers behind Screambox’s “Pennywise: The Story of It,” which explored the development, Tim Curry casting and cult legacy of the 1990 Stephen King miniseries adaptation “It.” Cult Screenings’ other credits include “RoboDoc,” on the creation of Paul Verhoeven’s action satire classic “RoboCop,” and “Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story,” a portrait of the man behind Freddy Krueger.
Gary Smart and John Campopiano directed “Art Attack!” and served as producers, alongside Adam Evans and Christopher Griffiths. Erick Opeka, Yolanda Macias, Brandon Hill and Brad Miska are executive producers for Cineverse, as are Hank Starrs and Laurence Gornall for Cult Screenings UK Ltd. The deal was negotiated by Hill on behalf of Cineverse and Gornall on behalf of Unannounced Film Company.
“‘Art Attack!’ is an extraordinary look at how Damien, Phil and team took ‘Terrifier 3’ to new levels of horror. Fans will get an in-depth view of the artistry and craft that pushed the boundaries of the genre and lead to the #1 movie in America,” said Brandon Hill, executive director of acquisitions at Cineverse.
“The team is honored to be working with Cineverse again, and in particular showcasing the tremendous work of Damien Leone and his team to bring the iconic character Art the Clown back on the big screen in ‘Terrifier 3,’” said Smart at Cult Screenings UK.
“Terrifier 3” debuted on top of the domestic box office in October, with an $18.3 million opening weekend — higher than the combined final grosses of the first two “Terrifier” entries, and an unprecedented result for an unrated independent horror film. It has collected more than $87 million from theaters worldwide.
