- It is the first film in the Terrifier film series and the second feature-length film to feature Art, following the horror anthology film All Hallows’ Eve (2013).
- This is a movie based on the short film “Terrifier” from 2011.
- Damien Leone wrote the film specifically as a means of showcasing the character of Art and his practical effects work—such as the controversial hacksaw death scene. Leone has expressed regret for leaving the protagonists underdeveloped.
- The film was filmed on a low budget of $35k. It had an Indiegogo campaign, although it ultimately did not reach its goal.
- David Howard Thornton was the 6th person who auditioned for Art The Clown. During the audition, he began miming tasting his beheaded victim’s blood but then added salt to it to improve its flavour. This is what won him the role.
- Jenna Kanell performed all her own stunts in the film.
- There is a heavily edited version on YouTube which removes the graphic violence and gore, as well as the nudity.
- The film premiered at the Telluride Horror Show Film Festival in October 2016 before being picked up by Dread Central Presents and Epic Pictures for a limited theatrical release on 15 March 2018. The film received mixed reviews, with praise directed towards the special effects and the portrayals of Kanell and Thornton, while the writing was subject to criticism. The movie quickly became a cult film.
- A sequel, Terrifier 2, was released on October 6, 2022.
