A 2024 American independent supernatural slasher film, Terrifier 3 continues the story from Terrifier 2 released in 2022, serving as the third entry in the franchise. The movie was co-produced, written, edited, and directed by Damien Leone, who also began developing its narrative following the strong reception of Terrifier 2. Leone intended to expand Victoria's role, addressing what he felt was an underdeveloped character from earlier installments. Principal photography commenced in February 2024 with a budget set at $2 million.

The cast includes David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Elliott Fullam, and Samantha Scaffidi. During the days before Christmas, Sienna Shaw tries to recover while being hunted by Art the Clown and his new ally, possessed Victoria Heyes. The film had its premiere at Fantastic Fest on September 19, 2024 and opened in theaters across the United States on October 11 through Cineverse and Iconic Events Releasing. Critics responded positively, and it became a box office hit, earning $98.4 million, making it the top-grossing unrated film ever, Cineverse's most successful release, and the highest-earning title in the series. Development for a fourth movie, Terrifier 4, has started.
