Terrifier 3
In a year packed with sequels, we boldly declare Terrifier 3—which comes out at Halloween, with a plot that sets slash-happy Art the Clown loose on Christmas—is the one to beat. Writer-director Damien Leone has a bigger budget to play with this time around, and we’re expecting that to translate into even more gore. (October 25)
We’ll also find it hard to resist Tim Burton’s long-awaited Beetlejuice 2 (the best or the worst idea ever? We’ll find out September 6); the eleventh chapter in the still-lively Saw series, Saw XI (September 27); and Parker Finn’s Smile 2, the follow-up to his surprise 2022 smash (October 18).
