10 Horror Movie Reveals NOBODY Was Ready For

7. Jonathan's Head - Terrifier 3 (2024)

Terrifier returned to our screens last year with a Christmas tale that lit up cinemas worldwide - something fans of Damien Leone's unrelentingly grim films could hardly have imagined just a few years ago. Number 3 sees Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) back from the dead (again), this time enlisting the help of his once-victim Vicky (Samantha Scaffidi), in her new demonically possessed form. 

The pair have it in for Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera), who has just been released from a psychiatric facility following her brush with the clown in 2022's Terrifier 2, and will stop at nothing to make sure she suffers in full - including launching an all-out takeover of her aunt and uncle's home. Thankfully for Sienna, her younger brother Jonathan (Elliot Fullam) is away at college and out of harm's way this time. Or so she thinks.

During the final sequence of chaos in the Shaw household, Art and Vicky produce a severed head whose skin has been consumed by their pet rats. They tell Sienna the head belongs to her young cousin Gabbie (Antonella Rose), but Sienna doesn't believe it for a second. And, as it happens, she's right. That's because, once Gabbie is brought out as a hostage, Vicky reveals the head belongs to Jonathan, placing his glasses on the emaciated skull. That we have gotten so used to the head being there makes it somehow much worse when we discover who it really is.
