The Most Terrifying Sequel Ever Made Is Now Streaming Free
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published
Even among horror fans, the Terrifier films aren’t for everyone. Many haters consider these films nothing more than “torture porn,” but that’s not entirely fair. Does Art the Clown torture and kill his victims in the most graphic and grotesque ways? Absolutely. But he does so in service of every horror movie’s ultimate goal: scaring the pants off everyone watching. After the first two films in the series, it’s fair to say that Art has established himself as the most famous modern slasher, one who is now nearly as legendary as vintage killers like Freddy Krueger and Ghostface.
Now, the third film is streaming for free, giving you a chance to catch up on Art the Clown’s latest mutilated misadventures. The second movie was a fright fest of epic ambitions, one that established this clown as a supernatural threat scary enough to make Pennywise wet his pantaloons. Terrifier 3 delivers Art’s scariest story yet, one that will leave you on the edge of your seat while changing up everything you thought you knew about this clown. If you’re ready to give yourself nightmares and wake the apartment up screaming, then it’s time to grab that remote and stream Terrifier 3 (2024) for free on Tubi.
Christmas Comes Early
The premise of Terrifier 3 is that Art the Clown survived his decapitation from the previous film, and once he gets his head together (quite literally), he sets his sights on revenge. Five years later, he returns to terrorize Sienna, the heroine from Terrifier 2, who seemingly put this killer clown down for good. Sienna, her brother, and her new foster family are all fair game for Art’s wrath. But now that he’s angrier than ever before, it looks like he may turn the entire town into a mass graveyard while enacting vengeance, one cut at a time.
Like other films in the franchise, Terrifier 3 doesn’t have many big names; in fact, the most famous people in the movie are Clint Howard, Chris Jericho, and Tom Savini, all of whom have very basic cameos. We also get two of the surviving protagonists from the last film, played quite capably by horror veterans Lauren LaVera and Elliott Fullam. As usual, the best performance comes from David Howard Thornton, who has almost singlehandedly transformed Art the Clown into the scariest movie monster of the modern age. His every movement drips with malicious glee, and the way he stalks his victims is very nearly as frightening as the brutal ways that he finishes them off.
The Ultimate Low-Budget Terror
It’s only fitting that Terrifier 3 is set during the holiday season, because this movie is all about red and green. Art the Clown took care of the red, delivering buckets of blood through one creepy kill after another. Meanwhile, audiences took care of the green: against a modest budget of $2 million, Terrifier 3 earned $90.3 million. Soon after its violent debut, director Damien Leone confirmed that we will be getting a fourth and final Terrifier film. Only time will tell if Art the Clown (unlike fellow slasher icon Jason Voorhees) will stay dead after his fourth box office outing.
Reviewers decided that the third time was the charm (or perhaps that should be “the harm”) for Art the Clown. On Rotten Tomatoes, Terrifier 3 has a 78 percent. Critics generally praised the movie for upping the franchise’s famous gore ante and delivering even more over-the-top kills (seriously, that shower scene will haunt you). They also praised the movie for joining the ranks of films like Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 to become one of the rarest kinds of genre films: a hilariously solid Christmas horror movie.
The Slasher, Reborn
How much you enjoy Terrifier 3 will depend greatly on what you want out of a horror film. In terms of plot, there’s arguably far less than what we got in Terrifier 2, which tried to transform the meat-and-potatoes Art the Clown slasher into a supernatural villain of mythic proportions. Comparatively, the third film is very streamlined, taking the franchise back to its simplistic slasher roots. But you are likely to be completely lost if you watch this movie first, making it a terrible choice for first-time fans hoping to discover a (ahem) work of Art.
If you like old-school slashers like Friday the 13th, however, you’ll likely be in hog heaven with Terrifier 3. The movie has all the essential elements needed for such a film: an iconic killer, likeable victims, and memorable kills. It’s a no-filler, all-killer (in more ways than one) approach to horror filmmaking, and it works particularly well here. Even if you don’t typically go for the so-called “gore porn” films, Terrifier 3 is head and bloody shoulders over most scary movies.
The Future Of Terror Is Here
That mostly comes down to the film’s putrid practical effects. In an age where CGI dominates everything, Terrifier 3 mines most of its thrills and chills from a place of more grounded terror. Supernatural shenanigans aside, it’s easy to imagine that anyone could don Art the Clown’s creepy makeup and begin terrorizing the town. His violent exploits are brought to life by more of the franchise’s signature effects, all of which prove that “less is more” when it comes to bringing death to life onscreen.
Are you ready to hire the world’s scariest clown for your very own party? The good news is that Art delivers unforgettable work, and he will show you things that you’ll remember for the rest of your life (however short that might be). He works for cheap, too: to see what the bloody hype is about, stream Terrifier 3 for free on Tubi!

Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.

But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster.

NYT Strands hints, answers for May 29, 2026
Today’s NYT Strands hints are easy if you’re an animal lover.
Strands, the New York Times‘ elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There’s always a theme linking every solution, along with the “spangram,” a special, word or phrase that sums up that day’s theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.
If you’re feeling stuck or just don’t have 10 or more minutes to figure out today’s puzzle, we’ve got all the NYT Strands hints for today’s puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

The NYT‘s latest daily word game has become a social media hit.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there’s only one correct answer.
If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.
