Penned by Tim Waggoner, author of the successful Terrifier 2 novelization, Halloween Kills, and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, the Terrifier 3 book will follow the franchise storyline that the film’s writer and director Damien Leone brought to moviegoers last year.
Under the direction of the Bloody Disgusting team at Cineverse, Bloody Press is focused on creating and bringing audiobooks, e-books and print editions to market. Its first release was a success, selling more than 8,000 copies to fans who were thrilled to follow villain Art the Clown in a new medium off the screen.
“We continue to look for new opportunities to reach fans, from novelizations to exclusive t-shirts and collectible merchandise to podcasts,” said Cineverse VP Network Strategy, Tom Owen. “When you can super-serve people who are passionate about iconic horror franchises like Terrifier, it makes it possible not only to drive revenue but to form powerful, lasting connections.”
“It is a thrill to be brought on board to contribute to the world that Damien created and help tell Art and Sienna’s stories in new ways,” said Waggoner. “I can’t wait to share this story with fans.”
Waggoner is a four-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award, a one-time winner of the Scribe Award, and a two-time finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award. He teaches creative writing and composition at Sinclair College in Dayton, Ohio.
The feature films, Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3, are both available for streaming on SCREAMBOX.
After surviving Art the Clown’s Halloween massacre, Sienna and her brother are struggling to rebuild their shattered lives. As the holiday season approaches, they try to embrace the Christmas spirit and leave the horrors of the past behind. But just when they think they’re safe, Art the Clown returns, determined to turn their holiday cheer into a new nightmare. The festive season quickly unravels as Art unleashes his twisted brand of terror, proving that no holiday is safe.
