It’s been announced that actress Lauren LaVera is officially set to return to Terrifier 3 and reprise her role as Sienna. She made her debut in the franchise with the ultra-violent hit film Terrifier 2, and after her performance in that, she’s going to have a long career in the horror film genre.
The news comes from Bloody-Disgusting, who says that “LaVera is back to lead you through your deepest nightmares when Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.” You can watch a teaser trailer here.
LaVera said in a statement: “I’m thrilled to be returning to Terrifier 3. Damien’s vision for my character was special, and now he’s set to take it to an entirely new level. It’s been surreal to witness the immense connection and support from fans for Sienna, and I applaud Damien for introducing a strong female character, the angel-dressed heroine, who gets to face off against Art the Clown’s merciless ways. I can’t wait for you to see the next chapter of Sienna as Damien dives deeper into her backstory.”
The director of the film Damien Leone said: “Lauren was the heart and soul of Terrifier 2, and the next installment couldn’t be done without her character. Lauren brings an unparalleled essence to the film, and her return is integral to the continuation of the chilling narrative we’ve crafted. Her character will be more developed as she is dealing with intense trauma stemming from the events of the previous film, and eventually, she must conquer these challenges to confront Art. Her continued metamorphosis into Art’s formidable foe is one of the most intriguing and exciting aspects of this franchise for me.”
The film will also, obviously, see the return of David Howard Thornton as Art the Clown, with AEW superstar Chris Jericho, Samantha Scaffidi, and Elliot Fullam also reprising their roles from last year’s Terrifier 2.
Leone went on to say: “We are in pre-production right now. We’re going to start shooting in two months, beginning of February. So, we’re in the thick of it. We’re assembling our crew; we’re still casting; we’re getting locations in order; special effects are being created; and we’re still working on drafts. It could always be better and tighter: I never stop doing that all the way through production. I’m finally getting to the stage where I’m very excited about it. We’re about to make a movie again, which is my childhood fantasy come true.”
He director also teased the story: “This one is going to pick up where part two left off, in the insane asylum, so, you’re going to see what transpires there, what mayhem unfolds, because seeing how Art and Victoria ended up, is so insane, and seeing how they get out of that situation and what happens next is going to be really wild. So, we have to get Chris [Jericho] back in there and see how he becomes a part of that situation.”
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters on October 25, 2024.
