Read the spooky synopsis below:
In this gruesome novelization of the hit horror film, the nightmarish Art the Clown returns from the dead to continue his murderous and mad spree in the sleepy town of Miles County, one year after they survived the events of “Terrifier.” Little do they know the nightmare is about to begin anew.
Resurrected by a sinister entity, Art is back with an appetite for murder and mayhem—setting his sights on the recently bereaved teenager Sienna and her younger brother Jonathan. The streets are about to run with blood, and Sienna must somehow survive this gruesome Halloween night and discover how to defeat a brutal and unforgiving killing machine from beyond her nightmares.
There’s no stopping Art once his sights are set on you…
“We can’t think of a more perfect partner to help Bloody Disgusting expand into publishing than Titan, and no better way to do it than with an incredible novelization of ‘Terrifier 2’ by Tim Waggoner,” said Tom Owen, VP of network strategy for Cineverse, which launched publishing brand “Bloody Press” in 2023. “Kickstarting this partnership with such an awesome project is just the beginning and we can’t wait to put our stamp on more titles in the near future.”
“Terrifier 2” is now streaming on Bloody Disgusting’s platform, Screambox. “Terrifier 3” is set to debut in theaters on Oct. 11.
