Jason Patric Confirmed as New Addition to ‘Terrifier 3’ Cast in Initial Reveal

Exciting news for horror fans! The cameras have stopped rolling on Damien Leone’s much-anticipated slasher sequel Terrifier 3 in New York. And guess what? The phenomenal Jason Patric (The Lost Boys, Narc) is now part of the cast!

Deadline was the first to break this thrilling news earlier today.

Director Damien Leone couldn’t contain his excitement about having Jason on board. He said, “Jason is an exceptional talent of his generation. His deep respect for this franchise and his craft is truly inspiring. I can’t wait for fans to see his crucial role in the Terrifier universe.”

Leone continued, “Working with the star of some of my all-time favorite films, especially The Lost Boys, is a dream come true. This collaboration has been nothing short of exhilarating.”

In the upcoming Terrifier 3, brought to you by Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting, Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is ready to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County on Christmas Eve.

The returning cast includes Lauren LaVera (Sienna), Samantha Scaffidi (Victoria Heyes), Elliot Fullam (Jonathan Shaw) and AEW superstar Chris Jericho (Burke). Daniel Roebuck will make his debut as Santa Claus, and makeup effects legend Tom Savini will also make an appearance.

Mark your calendars! Terrifier 3 will hit theaters nationwide exclusively on October 11, 2024.

Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone, is a product of Dark Age Cinema Productions. Phil Falcone is the producer, with Lisa Falcone as the Executive Producer. Co-producers include Michael Leavy, Jason Leavy, George Steuber, and Steve Della Salla. Brad Miska, Brandon Hill, and Erick Opeka are the Executive Producers for Cineverse. Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor also serve as Executive Producers.

The predecessor, Terrifier 2, was a cult slasher hit of 2022. Despite being produced on a micro-budget, it raked in over $15 million at the global box office. It created a buzz, received extensive press coverage, and even found mentions in Saturday Night Live, Bupkis, rap lyrics, and holiday sweaters.

USA Today listed Terrifier 3 as one of the Top 10 most anticipated Horror films of 2024. After its theatrical run, Cineverse plans to release the film across all platforms, including its SCREAMBOX horror streaming service. The Terrifier franchise is also expanding into Halloween t-shirts, podcasts, and novelizations.
