Where you can stream Terrifier 2

By

2022 has been a banner year for horror films. From franchise reboots like Scream and Hulu’s Hellraiser to legacy sequels like Halloween Ends to original movies like Smile and The Black Phone, horror has been one of the most popular genres for scare-starved audiences.

Among these successful slashers is Terrifier 2, and low-budget sequel that has been the surprise hit of October. After opening in over 700 theaters, the film has so far made almost $8 million on a minuscule $250,00 budget. It’s also received mainstream press attention for its extreme violence and gore, which has caused some people to vomit, faint, or leave the theater sick to their stomachs. Not bad for an indie horror movie about a deranged clown terrorizing an unsuspecting public.

Smile 2 and Trap are horror movies for a pop-obsessed world
A man and a girl watch a concert in Trap.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Trap and Smile 2.

Six decades after Beatlemania, pop stars still rule the world. Their grip over the public imagination has never really slackened, even as the definition of pop has morphed and mutated like TLC forming from T-1000 liquid goop in their most iconic music video. Still, if pop stardom is a constant, it’s loomed especially large over the culture of late. There’s the unfathomably wide devotion to Taylor Swift, a once-in-a-generation phenomenon, a pop star to end all pop stars. There’s also the way social media has turned standom into an inescapably public spectacle. Pop is everywhere, the air we breathe. Brat summer? Try Brat century.

Terrifier 3 knocks out Joker 2, takes No. 1 spot at the weekend box office
Art the Clown brings terror for the holidays in Terrifier 3.

There was a murder at the box office over the weekend, as Art the Clown killed Arthur Fleck. The Wild Robot was an accessory after the fact as Joker: Folie à Deux's brief stint at No. 1 came to an end. The Joker sequel was unseated by Terrifier 3, the indie horror franchise featuring David Howard Thornton as the serial killer known as Art the Clown. This sequel not only outperformed projections with $18.3 million, putting it ahead of all other movies this weekend, but it earned more than Terrifier 2's lifetime gross of $15.7 million.

DreamWorks Animation's The Wild Robot finished in second place with $13.45 million, bringing its domestic total to $83.7 million. Meanwhile, Joker: Folie à Deux fell 81% from its disappointing $37 million opening to only $7.55 million, which narrowly gave it third place. It's a catastrophic drop for the film, which now has $51.6 million domestically against a $200 million budget and a large advertising budget as well. This movie is going to lose a lot of money for Warner Bros., with the only question being how much.

I’ll never watch this harrowing, notorious 40-year-old movie ever again. Here’s why
A policeman wearing a mask stands in Threads.

I saw a few announcements about the October 9 rerun of the BBC film Threads ahead of it playing, and couldn’t quite remember if I had seen it or not. I was probably confusing it with another powerful made-for-TV movie about nuclear war, The Day After. I certainly knew Threads by reputation, though — a bleak depiction of what would happen to normal people in the wake of a nuclear conflict.

After it started it took only a few minutes for me to remember that I had, at some point, seen Threads before. I’m not sure when or how, as it has hardly been shown since its initial debut in 1984. But I knew, and it was a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that told me I’d forced the film out of my memory, such is its ability to horrify. Yet I still wasn’t prepared for the ways it can still scare today, 40 years after it was made.
