## Films

### Future

Both Leone and Thornton have confirmed that a Terrifier 3 is planned, along with further installments that will slowly build on Art's background and motives. With the heroine of Terrifier (2018) having been driven insane, Terrifier 2's protagonist is set to be a franchise lead and return in future films and related media. Leone has also stated himself that he may have more than enough material for Terrifier 3 to warrant a Terrifier 4.

On May 31, 2023, Terrifier 3 was announced to officially be happening with a higher budget and a release for Late 2024.
