Where you can stream Terrifier 2

Jason Struss
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.

The movie is directed by Damien Leone and stars David Howard Thornton as Art the Clown, Lauren LaVera as Sienna Shaw, Elliott Fullam as Jonathan Shaw, Sarah Voight as Barbara Shaw, Amelie McLain as The Pale Little Girl, Samantha Scaffidi as Victoria Heyes (the lone survivor from the first film), and former pro wrestler Chris Jericho as Burke.

Maybe I Do director Michael Jacobs on working with Diane Keaton and Richard Gere
Four adults stand in a kitchen in Maybe I Do.

Annie Hall. Pretty Woman. Bull Durham. These movies are now considered classics and staples in the recently resurgent romantic comedy genre. Now, some of the stars of those films -- Diane Keaton, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon -- have teamed with Fargo actor William H.

Digital Trends talked to the film's director, veteran writer and producer Michael Jacobs, about how he came up with the idea in the 1970s and how his famous actors collaborated with each other to depict honest portrayals of marriage.
