Spencer Charnas, frontman and creative force behind the cinematic horror metal band Ice Nine Kills, has announced an official music collaboration for the highly anticipated horror sequel “Terrifier 3.” Charnas made the announcement during the band’s third annual fan convention, Silver Scream Con, alongside “Terrifier” franchise star David Howard Thornton.
The new single, “A Work of Art,” pays homage to the “Terrifier” franchise and its antagonist, Art the Clown, and will be featured in “Terrifier 3” when it opens in theaters nationwide on October 11, 2024.
“The Terrifier franchise gave us Art the Clown, the greatest new horror icon in decades,” says Charnas. “We are beyond honored by the invitation to play within the viciously delightful universe Damien Leone and his incredible team have created. The Art and INK fanbases are one and the same, and we heard the screams for this collaboration loud and clear.”
The official music video for the song, which will feature David Howard Thornton as Art the Clown, will premiere at Fantastic Fest on Thursday, September 19, following the World Premiere of “Terrifier 3,” and will also play in select AMC Theaters nationwide for early showings on Thursday, October 10.
The 7-minute video is directed by longtime Ice Nine Kills collaborator Jensen Noen and features special FX by Emmy Award-winning effects artist Christopher Nelson. The video also stars Catherine Corcoran (“Terrifier”), Leah Voysey (“Terrifier 2”), Sirius XM’s Jose Mangin and Vincent Rockwell, Richard Christy (Drummer for Death, Control Denied, and Charred Walls of the Damned), and System Of A Down’s Shavo Odadjian.
“Terrifier 3” is the next chapter in Damien Leone’s hit horror franchise starring Art the Clown.
After surviving Art the Clown’s Halloween massacre, Sienna and her brother struggle 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.
