20 Horror Movie Sequels Releasing In 2026
15. Terrifier 4
With Terrifier 3 grossing more than $90 million against a mere $2 million budget in 2024, a fourth film was basically inevitable.
Indeed, by early 2025, franchise architect Damien Leone confirmed that not only was Terrifier 4 in active development, but it was being eyed as the final entry into the series.
While it's always worth taking the word "final" with a truckload of salt where horror is concerned, Leone certainly sounds like he means it. Beyond this, he's already confirmed that Terrifier 4 will reveal Art the Clown's (David Howard Thornton) backstory. Now, it's often a risky prospect to demystify the monster, but there will nevertheless be many excited to learn precisely how Art came to be.
Though the fourth film hasn't yet started shooting, considering that Terrifier 3 only wrapped filming a few months before its October 2024 release, there's still plenty of time for it to go before cameras for a planned 2026 bow.
Terrifier 4 is expected to release in late 2026.
